I still want to buy AK240. AK240 is 5 years old now.. but its price is still minimum $850.
When can I buy AK240 for $300?
A $2,000 flagship laptop that came out 5 years ago now sells for $250 on Ebay..
That is to miunderstand markets and human nature. Depreciation is not a simple mathematical formula to do with age. Audio technology also doesn't advance in sound quality in the same way as required processing power - it's subjective (the human nature part ).
There's a massive market in highly priced second-hand audio equipment out there - Luxury CD players and cassette decks and even FM tuners fetching thousands, despite their techonology and SQ technical specs being surpassed long long ago...
Don't forget that the AK380 is still available new from AK.. so in a sense, it's still a current model.

Any secondhand price will reflect that.
