Is OPPO worth the inflated price?

I've had my eye on the now discontinued OPPO UDP-205 for some time (more for playing my CD's than for video)  but am discouraged that units which last sold retail for $1299 are now asking $3500. Is this worth it and if so who are the buyers? Would appreciate the group's input. .

Buy a player from a company that is still producing them.

Oppo will provide support for five years (or so I've heard). I own a 205 and don't have any complaints. Is it the best sounding unit on the planet? Probably not but, to me, it's good enough.

Not to me. I paid about $100 more for my 203 than they originally sold for, but 3-4 times? No way.
