Did the 1st price drop come after the EOL announcement? I think that if so, the price may have been low enough, but people were perhaps concerned they were buying something that was no longer being made.

I just don't get how people will spend $300 for a CD player. There have been no significant advances in CD players (except they skip less) in 10 years. The prices companies are charging is nuts. The displays stink too.

I always said that the empeg seemed expensive until you looked at how much a CD player option was on a new car...

Paid $1299 and proud of it.
