Should I sell my Oppo 205?

Please help me decide. Is there a logical reason for current prices on used Oppo 205? I bought mine few years ago brand new for around $1500. I've hardly used it since, maybe 2-3 Blue rays per year max. I have a pretty good collection of blue rays 4k movies. My questions:

1. Is there nothing else on the market to compete with this relatively old player?

2. What is so special about this oppo ?

3. Is it likely to become more in demand in the future?

Don't try and sell it.  Give it to your son

Keep it.  It offers a lot of functional value which may cost you much more to replace.  I did not buy it at $1300 when available, missing a great opportunity.  When I checked used prices, they were outrageous and could not justified it.  I finally purchased a Wolf Audio Alpha and it was not inexpensive.

I have the Oppo UDP 203 (multi-region) modified with a Kimber mains input which has been my main digital source since disposing of my Linn Unidisk player. Much prefer the Oppo eventhough the Linn was over 12 times the cost. The Linn dealer said that I would miss the Unidisk but .....
Pioneer make a multi format player but this is more than twice the cost of the Oppo and was not as well reviewed - so I would keep it.

How is it as a CD player?  How is it used to handle streaming?  Does it replace an avr?

If she still plays w minimal issues. Keep and use!

 When skipping  starts or other issues, someone will will always buy an old non working unit for parts.
