Oppo Ceasing production

So close ...but no go.
I was in contact with Al from Magnolia AV about getting the OPPO 205.
He tried, took my info and said he'd let me know. He thought maybe there was a couple left. Nadda. The sales system wouldnt accept any more orders. I want to thank Al for going to bat for me, on his day off BTW. The man deserves a raise. As to the 205, I can only hope they do another production run.

I'm glad I got my order in - they're expecting completed orders to be delivered to the store by Wednesday, which we hope means that they'll be headed out of the store to us around the country.  They're now sold out system-wide across Magnolia, not just regionally from what I understand.

@tapesmith.

Did they charge you shipping?

Jeff, I just saw your response. I really appreciate that. I know there's a few folks on this forum who are not too happy with me right now. Somehow our system allowed for the 205 to get oversold and we are now scrambling to fulfill the orders. I have been assured by members of our management team that these orders will be filled, but it will take until June to do so. We can hypothesize all we want about how this happened, but at the end of the day I have egg on my face and as a sales person, that is the most uncomfortable thing in the world, because our integrity and our word is all we've got. I have of course reached out to all of the folks who put down their hard-earned money on these units and refunds will be issued immediately to anyone who does not want to wait. I truly apologize for any inconvenience and for making promises that I'm unable to deliver. 

There is someone on here selling a brand new in box Oppo 205 for...wait for it....$2600.00.  I sent the person selling the player a nice and polite PM saying that what he is doing is taking advantage of a bad situation and that he should be ashamed of himself for price gouging.  His response that he is much cheaper than the 4-6K they are selling for on eBay and that I am a jerk for stating the obvious.  What person in their right mind would pay that kind of money for it?  At the retail price, it is a decent product, but at 4-6K???  You can buy an Ayre or Esoteric for that kind of money.  Anyone who pays over retail for a 205 is a fool IMHO.
