Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?

Got a message from Jay’s Audio US Rep. wrong currency price quote. Philips CDM-4 laser price is $100 + $50 S/H from China.

The CDM-4 is only $42 for the whole Mech and laser with free post

If this CDT-3-MK2  transport uses the CDM-4Pro mech/laser
  
Then this laser or whole mech is getting very hard to find, and if Jay's Audio is offering a brand "new" laser for $100 + $50 or post.
I suggest all owners of the transport to get one and put it away for when you may need it. Because "new" they are going to sky rocket in price. Or if you sell the CDT-3 in the future it's good to be able to supply a spare laser as a selling tool. Or you could sell just the laser in the future for a profit.

Or, more likely cd transports and players will decline in numbers and the parts will simply sit on eBay. 

Meanwhile, I’m enjoying my cdt 8 pro and dac10.

I replace laser or mechs in many cdp's, you have no idea just how many now are unobtainium to get new, for many $5K-$20k CDP's eg: flagship models from Wadia, Mark Levinson, Naim ect ect.

So if they're available now new for this CDT-3, for $100 get em now before your transport becomes a boat anchor, because of a bad laser, that may also become unobtainium new.

Well, your basic assumption is that people will want them repaired. This is a declining truth.

So are you saying this CDt3 is a throw away item when the laser starts to skip?
NO WAY do would anyone I know throw them out, if they don’t get them repaired they’re be usually sold off faulty, an these are the ones to get cheap "if you have or can get the laser".

I ask you if your Linn Sondek LP12 or similar had a burnt out motor, in say 1995 when cd was well entrenched, would you not get it fixed or would you have thrown it out?
