Should I sell my Oppo 205?

Please help me decide. Is there a logical reason for current prices on used Oppo 205? I bought mine few years ago brand new for around $1500. I've hardly used it since, maybe 2-3 Blue rays per year max. I have a pretty good collection of blue rays 4k movies. My questions:

1. Is there nothing else on the market to compete with this relatively old player?

2. What is so special about this oppo ?

3. Is it likely to become more in demand in the future?

I had a 205 for two years. Sold it $2k and bought an Innuos Zen 3
which has no DAC but streams, burns & stores. $2.2K.

I also bought a separate DAC. The difference between the Oppo
DAC and the new DAC $1.5k is where the real sound improvement
happened.
The next week with an hour between appts I went in a Goodwill
and bought a BDP 93 Oppo player. Still had the remote $18.

So I can still watch BlueRay movies and listen to DVDs.

Advice to the OP? Keep it. Last of a legacy and you still need it
for the Blue Ray stuff.

But do upgrade your DAC asap.
