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. .

I was fortunate enough to get one of the last production runs.

Then, I was even more fortunate to look at Ebay and see how much they were selling for.  I had 100% planned on keeping it and using it.

But, more than double my money on electronics?  Yes Please.  Sold.

Try one of the best (most transparent) DACs on the planet.

The OPPO UDP-205 player unit is not worth $3,500 (IMHO). 

Why did OPPO discontinue the OPPO UDP-205?

They didn’t, that division of OPPO was shut down (the Hi-Fi 4K market is small).
