A small, probably not entirely appropriate question before I compose my sales ad:
- What would you say would be a fair price for a four years old Tera Player used for some 2500 hours?
It shows minimal wear and tear (I confess I dropped it a couple of times, yet never in a puddle), no problems I'm aware of (anyway it still has some 9 months of its 5-year warranty left).
Tera has served me very well, but I have stopped to listen to music on the go, which was the only use for headphones apart from the gym; and for the gym Tera is an overkill (so are some of my cans, but 'optimising' the collection will be another step).

If it's a 2012 unit I think the acquisition price was around 1000Eur ,right?  In my opinion that's your starting point . Deduct for usage and you will get a price.
But there are people here that will ask more than 2000EUR for a similar unit.
In the end probably  demand/offer will dictate the final price.

Anyone here paid 2000EUR for a similar unit?

I have sent an email to purchase a similar case but haven't received an answer yet

Did you get your case?

As one reference point, I paid $1200 (including paypal fees and shipping) for a 2013 model in absolute mint condition with two years of warranty still left. Mine might be an exception though.

I bought mine for $1500 in October 2015, so I would estimate $1100 at the low end to $1500 at the most.

He is still trying to sell them 2016 models with minor cosmetic changes again 
 
It looks like he has been inspired by my silver skin version below

No unfortunately as the price was too high, USD 150, and it will not protect the player from sweat,as i use it in the gym also.
Still using the Koss Porta Pro synthetic carry bag without problems.

Yeah it is expensive but it is high end hand made craftsmanship, really exclusive
 

 
Worth every penny for me

The new Tera Player colours are ugly in my opinion. Only the all black with black screws is nice.
Stealth Version, but then we can get skins  and transform them in any colour we want, but that's less important.. The sound is amazing and the long battery life is a bonus.

What's wrong with its navigator? how can he not implement an LCD navigator / folder browser for a device that costs 10,000 euros?

The Tera current price is crazy - that goes without saying (I purchased mine back when it was 840 euro and that was a great price). However, the user interface is genius - it's the only device which allows me to easily access every file/folder on the SD card without ever taking the device out of my pocket during commute to work. I absolutely love it. If it had screen it would have to be larger and would not be as robust/unbreakable (or the buttons would have to be much smaller which would make it more difficult to navigate by using only touch).
Also, because of it's small size it generates no heat whatsoever in spite of having incredible battery life - unlike any other device I have ever owned. To me the wonderful UI is as much of an appeal to Tera as it's great analog SQ.

Do you think Tera player sound better than Lotoo PAW Gold, AK240, Calyx M, Chord Mojo and Hugo? I wonder if its sound quality justify that crazy price tag.
 
I use 512GB SD cards so not having a touchscreen folder browser is a deal breaker for me....
 
I don't think I can navigate my several thousands of FLAC albums with those tiny buttons.

Out of the players you listed I own LPG and have also tried AK240 (and AK120). I much prefer Tera to AK's, but LPG is a different story. I do prefer LPG to Tera but only for extremely well mastered/recorded albums - LPG has some hiss (it's not completely black background like Tera) and if the album is not well recorded it can be brutal on LPG while Tera is smoother. However, LPG has more resolution and bigger stage, and well recorded DSD albums sound incredible on LPG (better then corresponding wav albums on Tera).
