Resale value of NS11's

This is probably a dumb question, however, worse have been asked..IMHO..

Why is it that I keep seeing more and more NS11's advertised on AM at 75% or less of retail price and rarely seeing any Meade's advertised for sale of similar size or focal length for sale at all. I don't want to start this stupid C vs M debate again....PLEASE...we've all seen enough of that. However, I really don't understand the disparity in resale value here. Yes, I own an NS11 but I also own a Meade 8" LX 200, so I'm not really biased here, just curious. Both are fantastic scopes and have their pluses and minuses and I'm keeping both. I'm just curious how these resale values are getting established.
