Supply, demand, and cost of inventory
Carl,
The retail price of the 5960P hasn't changed in the U.S., and all of the 5070 models are out of production with no retail price.
Apparently you are asking for an explanation of the apparent shift in asking prices in the secondary market, and that is always a function of what the seller paid and what the seller hopes to receive. The 5960P was available at lower prices when it was first released, followed by an increase in retail prices. Those who bought early can profit from a sale at less than today's retail. In contrast, the few 5070Ps released were all sold for a high retail price in a short period of time, and with very few available on the secondary market, sellers understandably seek a price higher than retail.
