My post wasn't specifically in reference to the asking price relative to other sources. I'm sure that it is fair. It was just in regards to how quickly some technologies become obsolete. I have owned at least a couple synths which were top of the lineish two grand units only to see their value plummet because of newer technologies usurping them. It sucks when that happens, but it does happen.
A five year old, $1000 turntable can hold 80% of it's value. A five year old, $1000 laptop, not so much (for example).
