CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units?

I may be mistaken but the past few weeks (months?) it seems some darn nice cdp's have appeared in the classifieds, at prices that are more and more attractive. Is it a sign of the economy, or are more 'philes moving to a hard drive music server? I don't know the answer, probably no one does but is this a trend noticed by others?

After my last high-end CDP developed problems with the transport, I switched and now don't even have any CD or DVD player around any longer.

You get full benefit of the license and so does someone else, but the artist gets paid only once.

What if I have a vinyl copy as well as the CD? Do I get some license contributions back as I paid twice for the license? :)

I agree otherwise, it is morally in a gray zone to sell off CDs while keeping a hard drive copy. Even though the industry doesn't adhere to their own moral rules, this doesn't justify abusing the industry, i.e. keeping files around without at least one own copy.
