Which also explains why the DR800 could only be bought for a few weeks/months and was out of stock after that time.
But I ofcourse could be wrong.

That's my bet as well. I think they were having problems getting enough devices, not the other way around. I doubt there's a vast stockpile of them.
However, theoretically, if there were they wouldn't just destroy them. There are (I believe) legal requirements that they use any remaining assets to pay off debts.
