Resale prices for Oppo Digital Universal Players

May I ask the forum to explain to me the disparity in the asking and bid prices for various preowned and some new Oppo Digital Universal Players for sale on Audiogon and on another well known resale site?  I'm seeing prices all over the scale.  I know they're no longer manufactured but the asking and bid prices don't seem to make any sense.  For example, there's a BDP-93 manufactured in 2011 with an asking price is $250.00, another one built in 2010 at $310.00 and another at $150.00 similar vintage.  There's a BDP-95 Blu-ray Universal Player for sale at $643.00.  There's a UDP-205 for $3,000.00 manufactured in 2017.  There's a BDP-83SE that's 10 years old with an asking price of $433.00. There are three new UDP-205s with asking prices from $3,699.00, $4,999.00 & $5,295.00 !!  The UDP-205s new were $1,299.00 when they became available.  There's a new UDP-203 built in 2016 at $820.00......new they were $549.00.  I own a BDP-103 from 2014 purchased brand new at $500.00 and it's still in excellent condition.  What is that worth should I decide to sell it here may I ask?

How does your Ruby do with Multi-Channel??  Right....it doesn't. I have a SA-10...guess what...it doesnt compete with my Luxman D-08u or Esoteric K-01X. (But I bet its better than your budget Ruby)

 I still have half a dozen Oppo's laying around. WHY?  Because its a Universal Player that can be used as a transport that can be teamed up with a Better Dac. POWER CHORDS also improve the performance drastically on the Oppo's. Its obvious to me you are clueless as to why a Oppo might be beneficial to many in this hobby for its jack of all trades ability. For somebody with SOOOO much experience its amazing how ignorant your comments are.

@briano,Oh, I surely enjoy listening to my Oppo 205.
Talking about credibility - making helpful posts would be super helpful. Instead of bashing the Oppo, if you had suggested alternatives, that would be helpful. Being in the hifi world, for so long you should have known that. Looks like half your posts here are to bash a product that is no more made, but demanding crazy prices.
