Wadia being sold for a third of it's retail

Hi everyone
can someone explain to me what's going on with all the cool looking Wadia stuff that is being sold for a third of the retail. For example the Wadia 321 D to A converter is being sold for $1,000...(retail is 3,000)
Is anything wrong with this line or is there some kind of other explanation to the unbelievable price drop across the range. Thank you

Wadia has poor support for old product after it's sale to McIntosh/ARC.

But is the product still good?

The CDPs have a warmish musical sound.  Well built.  Not sure how old the unit is but I picked up a nice pair of Vandersteen 5As for a song so someone who needs the cash is to your advantage.

Most likely it's just supply and demand. I bought a 321 just for giggles. I never owned a Wadia so I corrected that situation. The DAC is built like a tank and sounds very good. It lacks features like streaming ability. This probably contributed to the blow out price. Joe

So where is this sale going on? Looking to buy a dac very soon and would happily check it out.
