Why so many Hydra's for sale

The unit I evaluated was the review unit used by Soundstage! so it was fully broken in.....The unit was shipped to me via air and it picked up static that took about five days to burn off, but after that it came alive.....I found it to be easily the best of the currently available devices. I would take advantage of those for sale and pick up one for analog and another for digital before the sellers change their minds....

There was just a $500 price increase on the Hydras (Shunyata, that is shameful!). That could have something to do with it, though I'm not exactly sure how or why.

I was one of those listing the Hydra for sale (same unit with two listings). The only reason for the sale was that I already had a Hydra, bought a second Hydra thinking I would use two and then decided (with some additional coaxing from my significant other) that I was spending too much on this crazy hobby. Having said this, I would love to get a second Hydra at some time in future. The unit is of the utmost build quality ($2,000 was more than reasonable for the quality and sonic benefits and $2,500 is still more than fair).
