If you're talking about ebay, go down the left option column and click on "Sold items". Next, go to top-of-page and type "Oppo 205", This will show only sold units and what people paid. BTW, the market seems to be cooling a bit.
Reavon from France is coming out in April. The front looks like the Oppo 203. The basic 100 model will be about $1000 and the top of the line the 200 will run about $2000. Should be interesting.
There was another thread I posted on that was similar (not sure if it's the same person). It's going to be very hard to beat (or even meet) the Oppo 205. The best I can suggest is the Panasonic UDP-9000 ($995) combined with the "Complete MOD" from the Oppomod website (another $990). At that point, you are seriously competing with the Oppo 205.
At that point it might be worth it to you if you can sell the oppo for around $3k. However, I have seen them go on ebay lately for as low as $1800-2200.
