I have noticed that prices have gone up as well. The N802's have always held around 50% value of original list and that does seem to be creeping up a bit. This is a strong performance that many other established brands fail to match.
So what factors make this possible? Here's my thoughts on the subject. 1. The styling is unique and many people find them attractive. 2. The original base plates on the N802 are more attractive than the later versions. 3. The speaker is a strong performer in a combination 2 channel and theatre system. 4. They are still competitive soundwise with new speakers in the 4-5K price range.
