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?

Asking why so many of one make is currently on sale is like asking why do only certain horses win most of the time.

Everyone forgets the jockey's role.

Never heard a Hegel that I liked.  I don’t even like the name.  The color of their metalwork is awful as well.

@jjss49 ,
The point is/was that the gear itself is sometimes not the factor. Everyone forgets the human element. Factor that in and you'll have myriad reasons why something is on sale or kept for the long haul, which is a round about way of saying, who can really say.

All the best,

And yet it's hard to find a Hegel 160 for sale. Those are almost always keepers
