Resale value of BAT gears

It seems there are a lot of people who love BAT products. I'm one of them, but just a little confused about their resale value. Just saw $5000 VK-5i selling for $1600. Although the unit's been discontinued, the price seems ridiculous. I feel that the performance of BAT gears are way up there with other brands such as McIntosh, Conrad-Johnson, and Audio Research, to name a few. But these brands resale values are much higher. Why?

The price in the 1999 used audio gear book was 2500.00 I can see where 2 years later its down to 1500/1800.
BAT because of there very high cost of factory upgrades have poor resale value.Its great gear and a steal at its used price.Just be happy with it and dont long to get a factory upgrade.
