Damon,
I should have been more clear in my post. When I said D series I meant D120, D200, D400. These are the current line and they are being sold at 30 to 40 percent below retail brand new in sealed boxes. I agree that all gear loses value, but I would expect a D200 to sell used today for around $7000. But when people are selling brand new D200s for $6500 or less a used D200 value drops to like $5000 or even $4500. That's excessive devaluation caused by the distributor dumping all their gear. And that is either the fault of Devialet OR the distributor violating a contract.
