Is OPPO worth the inflated price?


I've had my eye on the now discontinued OPPO UDP-205 for some time (more for playing my CD's than for video)  but am discouraged that units which last sold retail for $1299 are now asking $3500. Is this worth it and if so who are the buyers? Would appreciate the group's input. .

My BDP 83 SE stopped reading discs.  I emailed Oppo and they sent an email detailing how I should clean the laser..    not sure how it got dirty from playing clean discs.
The downfall is the cooling fan is quite noisy.   I picked up a Pioneer Elite BDP 53 and it’s been excellent.   Toslink out to my Black Ice FX tube DAC.   Plays SACD, HDCD and Blu-ray for $100 shipped.
