Well, yes & no re low resale values The 565 is something over 20 years old now so it's hardly surprising that they sell for relatively little. That hurts only for sellers of course; the low prices of 500 series kit & the DSPs from that era means that it's possible for a buyer to put a serious system together for next to nothing.

I have a soon-to-be redundant 5000C that is hardly worth selling but I could buy a 2nd one cheaply & get a nice pair of additional surround speakers for pennies.
