Would you even consider?

Would you consider the purchase of a now defunct name brand piece of equipment 7 or more years old available at multiple times the suggested retail price and is no longer supported by the out of business manufacturer?
Case in point Oppo, a well known and exellent product. It seems that quite a few are showing up for sale at price points way above the original selling price.
Why would anyone buy a product that is used, old, not supported and way overpriced?
Answer me this?

Hey,
That's a tough one. The main reason are the built in 5.1 processing. It means you can do all sorts of interesting things with it. Also, there were crazy mods that eliminated the built -in multi-channel DAC's and added a coaxial digital out for each pair of channels, allowing you to run any DAC you wanted, if you had 4 of them.

I am getting out of that space, but just sold a 7.1 preamp, the Halo P7 to a user exactly like that.
