Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
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.
@nonoise- Everything i’ve seen says it’s a Chinese company: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppo Shocked me too. Never thought they were cablabe of making a standout product, just copying others. |
@nonoise- to be specific BBK is the parent company and that is Chinese. The Menlo Park address is just their USA Subsidiary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBK_Electronics |
@sense63 Yeah...I also got some nasty responses. One guy said he had already sold 10 of them at $2500, so I can go *** myself. His poor grammar and inside knowledge of just how many units they are producing and how many emails they received requesting units made me think he was a peoples republic spawn connected to the company. Like I said in my post that started this whole discussion: [china is] "the wild west of capitalism (if there is a market they will sell into it)". That goes double if they think they can make an even bigger profit. |
