Older HDD DVD recorders sold at exorbitant prices
Strange things are happening in the DVD recorder market. Older models with built-in HDDs are sold at online auctions at a price well above par. Here is a visual comparison .
For example, if you take the Panasonic DMR-EH75V model, then in the Amazon store, reputable sellers sell it at prices ranging from $ 1,500 to $ 1,900. This is a lot, considering that this model appeared on the market a year and a half ago at a stated price of $ 500. On eBay, you can make sure that the real price of devices is indeed higher than the nominal, albeit lower than that on Amazon. In recent auctions we see lots that went for $ 750 , $ 675 and $ 760 .
In the high-tech world, such a phenomenon — the rise in prices of outdated models — is extremely rare, and is explained simply. The fact is that models with built-in hard disks and DVD recording are gradually being removed from production (possibly under the pressure of media corporations or due to competition with TiVo-like devices). The demand now clearly exceeds the meager supply. That's where the rise in prices.
