$1600 SCD-777ES - Where?

I've read a couple of times people saying they found the Sony SCD-777ES SACD player at J&R Music for $1600 or $1800 - I've been to the site and can't even find the unit for sale, much less at that good of a price. Any hints? I know that unit has come down in price and have seen it advertised for much less than list, but can't find these specific references. Thanks.

Zombie alert... This is the oldest thread I can find in a few minutes.I know some folks love to find really old threads and post to them...SO I want to be a guilty party too!                      
I alos bought a Sony SCD777ES for about $1,700 back then. It was OK, but like many of them, it stopped playing the SACD option if any disc inserted was a dual disc. And it was slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww to load.I could go take a nap between inserting disc and the moment it would start to play. I still own it. The Black Whale sitting on my bottom shelf. No longer loved.. Now I use my shiny new Marantz SA-10.

I plugged in my Sony SCD-1 after a 15 year hiatus last month. Moved to a new house last week. The Sony player still sounds damn fine. Mine is a Vacuum State modded (v6) unit. My Sonare microRendu is misplaced from my move and I am back to listening to CD's until I locate it and fire up ROON. Glad to contribute to this important historical discussion.

I bough a mint used one. I sill like the slid door CD/SACD driver. It is a classical. Much of turntable design of digital player. Will keep it.
