Why so many Sony Scd-1 for sale?

new CDP 9000es coming out this month

Sony just released a bunch of refurbished ones (they wait until all the regular stock is sold off)
Another reason is the price is still high enough to 'get out' and still keep a lot of it's cost.
An aside: RANT!!!: I am amazed at these posts about a particular product suddenly having multiple listings... the real answer is often COINCIDENCE... Like the four Hafler Iris preamps for sale on the 'bay all in the same five days... a wierd coincidence, as they are seldom seen.
The randomness of people's actions create these groups of listings, not some secret cabal!

Yes, probably coincidence. Go Elizabeth, go!!

Also, Sony is a big company that makes many of each component so the market is largely flooded, even with SCD-1s. But as Elizabeth points out, this isn't always the case. I am glad to see someone else thinks the same as me ;) Arthur

Actually, I think it's because Sony and other companies have come out with newer, better SACD players using superior forms of technology. If people can sell their previously-top-of-the-line SCD-1 for a decent price (while they can still get a decent price, before the SCD-1 becomes *badly* outdated), they can put that money toward, say, a Denon DVD-5900, a very well regarded universal player with an MSRP of $2,000 and a street price of maybe $1550 or so.

So while I do not think there is a concert of action element in this case, I do believe that a number of people are independently reaching similar rational conclusions.
