Default Why are Dish 7200 Dishplayers selling for so much on ebay??

Dishplayer 7200's are selling for $400 used on ebay.
Isn't the current model 510 PVR more or less equivalent?
510's are selling from Dish standalone for $299. What is
it I don't understand here??

Thanks

One tuner vs. two tuner. You need the two-turner model to watch one
thing and record another.

No. They are both single-tuner. Dishplayers are pricey because they
are largely ECM-immune, so hackers love them and fight over them
like jackyls at a lion kill when one comes available.

Probably because they never heard of Tivo.I have 2 Dishplayers in storage
and left Dish network because they are so buggy.I love the Tivo and Directv.
