Why so many Hegel's for sale?

I'm seeing a ton of Hegel units on the used market, especially the big daddy H590.  It seem to be a race to the bottom in terms of sellers trying to unload these things.  Nothing but good reviews online, but something must be up.  I have never owned one, but have always been intrigued.  The resale value though is always a concern for me as I swap out equipment every 6 months or so.
Any thoughts on these positive or negative?

Well, there are 10 total units for sale on Agon... a few weeks ago, not even that many. Perhaps a timing thing? I have an H390 and it’s great. Best integrated I’ve had for the $$$. I would think the prices you see now won’t change much, so dive in and see if you like one...

I always laugh when somebody posts a question like this.  The market is a funny thing and timing has a lot to do with it.

Hype will originally boost sales, and there's been a lot of hype around Hegel in general for the last couple of years.

it is random

but i would say the h590 is in less demand since the h390 hit... h390 does 99% of what the 590 does for most customers AND the h390 has proper and full MQA implementation on all digital inputs, whereas they have not updated the h590 to the same capability

the 390 (and 190) are the sweet spots in the line
