Is OPPO worth the inflated price?


I've had my eye on the now discontinued OPPO UDP-205 for some time (more for playing my CD's than for video)  but am discouraged that units which last sold retail for $1299 are now asking $3500. Is this worth it and if so who are the buyers? Would appreciate the group's input. .

Oppo will provide support for five years (or so I've heard). I own a 205 and don't have any complaints. Is it the best sounding unit on the planet? Probably not but, to me, it's good enough.
 I contacted Oppo Service hoping to acquire a replacement LASER sled in advance of a failure. They said "no". I hope the Oppo will last more than five years as this is when service will cease.
