DarTZeels for sale

DarTZeel power amplifier and recently the DarTZeel preamplifier are becoming two "cult" units within the world of audiophiles. I suppose there aren't many units sold because of the steep prices. So I wonder why there are a few DarTZeel units for sale in the used market within short period, not only the well known NHB-108 power amplifier but also the less well known and quite rare NHB-18NS preamplifier. Are those DarTZeel owners looking for other "flavour", for example tube amplfiers? Have they bought their DarTZeel unit(s) only for some extended home audition? Have they replaced their speakers with some hard to drive ones that require lots of power (that the DarTZeel could not deliver)?
PS: I've always thought DarTZeel buyers were people who want to keep their amps for life.

Does anyone remember DartZeel introductory price 4 years ago? Poweramp was 9999USD soon after around 16k, and now over 24k. Early adopters payed lot less money and they are earning now on their investments.

hardly a week goes by without someone posting a thread here why are there so many of a particular brand for sale!

The site posts classifieds and so people sell their gear for audiophile, economic, and impulsive reasons

Anyone who thinks dartZeel is not awesome sounding has synergy issues with other equipment, problems with the listening room itself, or suspect taste. This does not mean other great stuff is not out there which some may prefer but to malign this product is utter foolishness
