Why is there so much PS Audio stuff for sale?

There seem to be a ton of PS Audio cabling and components for sale. I know they have a wide product line up, and have been in business quite a while (for this industry). But most of it for sale seems to be pretty new, not older, outdated items. Are they not well regarded? Are they seen as a "stepping stone" manufacturer, where people move on to supposedly bigger and better things? Is their price/performance ratio out of whack? They make so many different items, like all sorts of cables, pre & power amps, DAC's, power conditioners, and tweeks. Is their product line too big, where they're really only good at producing one or a few different things? Is it coincidence? Or something else?

It's simple marketing. PS Audio heavily advertises their products, and has many authorized online retailers making their catalog very readily available for even the average consumer. Therefore substantially more people buy their product than another lesser known companies offerings. I would venture a guess that the same percentage of PS Audio items are resold as any manufacturers, but because of the larger number of sales, it appears to be way off the norm.

I wouldn't worry about their stuff not performing well, PS Audio is a solid company with some really spectacular products, namely their gain cell amplifiers.
