What brands tend to have the worst resale value?

I couldn’t resist this topic which obviously contrasts with the post on the other side of the equation.
In all my years buying and selling gear I think that Soulution gets hammered more than anything I’ve ever witnessed. I’m sure it’s great gear so there’s something that I’m missing. Mola Mola looks tough as well. Late generation Krell pretty weak too. 
What are some other candidates?

Soulution  gets hammered so low because the mark up is crazy so high your talking Italian sports cars prices . You can not drive your power amp to work .

Keep in mind that it's not uncommon for the original buyer to get 15 - 20% off MSRP. So in reality, some brands are doing better than might appear.

Capehart was the brand of the first stereo I bought when a kid. Probably about 11 or 12 years old at the time. Straight from k-mart. I was pretty proud of it but even back then I knew I could do better & replaced the speakers with some "Sound Design" air suspension speakers within the first month. LOL, it had a TT, radio, & an 8-track.
