Exactly.  As soon as Intrec can't sell it, they'll either drop the price
or drop ProTERM A2.  They have not.  Therefore, some people
are still buying it.

My point exactly.  If new is too expensive, look for it used.  But
Intrec has every right to price ProTERM the way they see fit
to garner the most profit.  Supply and demand.  If no one buys it
for $60, they'll drop the price.  But some people do buy it for that
price, so it stays.
