Don't know how much my Oppo HA-1 worth now? It is basically a Sonica+Class A earphone amp.
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
You can't blame those individuals that are trying to sell
their (used) UDP-205's for twice the price (several even posted on the site for
2k+). That's not this focus.. If someone is willing to pay, so be it. My favorite Wall Street quote, "The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it".
That said, I feel it’s my fellow audiophile duty to save those willing to pay
opportunist their gouging offers. Remember, Oppo is a Chinese company, aka the
wild west of capitalism (if there is a market they will sell into it). The 205
sold out within just 2-3 days after the oppo announcement throughout North America.
Knowing that Oppo has added a registration button "we might make another
production run" and knowing how fast the current stock sold out, they have
a huge private pre-order list. That is GOLD in terms of any company's sales/production projections/risks. They will be making another production run! Don't pay these
----'ers a cent. You'll get a brand new factory fresh machine
soon enough.
