Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...


You can't blame those individuals that are trying to sell their (used) UDP-205's for twice the price (several even posted on the site for 2k+). That's not this focus.. If someone is willing to pay, so be it. My favorite Wall Street quote, "The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it".


That said, I feel it’s my fellow audiophile duty to save those willing to pay opportunist their gouging offers. Remember, Oppo is a Chinese company, aka the wild west of capitalism (if there is a market they will sell into it). The 205 sold out within just 2-3 days after the oppo announcement throughout North America. Knowing that Oppo has added a registration button "we might make another production run" and knowing how fast the current stock sold out, they have a huge private pre-order list. That is GOLD in terms of any company's sales/production projections/risks. They will be making another production run! Don't pay these ----'ers a cent. You'll get a brand new factory fresh machine soon enough.

That is awesome. I hope everyone waiting for the June batch gets their Oppo. And I really hope no one falls for the $$$$ ads that are selling the 205. They are really crooks.This is a awesome player. SACD and DSD files sound really good on this player. I have no complaints on the CD playback either. But have not really compared a $$$ Esoteric/Luxman/Marantz player with the Oppo. But I really love what the Oppo does.
Good Luck folks on the wait list!
