Is it gone?

Yes, it's no longer available. Might come back in stock at same price though as it was sold by Amazon directly, not Hifiman or another seller.

In Hifiman's shop it's even cheaper, if you manage not to pay a lot of customs fees

I also think that it is one of the best headphones out there, and you have to spend a lot more to get something better in planar technology.

Tell me how I do that

I think that they use some courier service like DHL or UPS which have their own custom clearance, so can't see an option to avoid the tax

Problem 1 has nothing to do with hifiman — I don’t like planars in general, their bass presentation just does not fit my taste.

Problem 2 is hifimans build quality. Example: the original HE1000 had gimbals that scratch their leather pads. Part is a build quality problem (the gimbals had really sharp/rough edges), part a conventional negligence: there was simply not enough room between pad and gimbal for movement without collision.

Problem 3 is the steady flow of new models. It gives me the impression that they constantly devalue their models, that they are not supported and one should just buy a new headphone soon. I don’t know: are there spare parts available for years after end of production? Are repair manuals available? I did not research that due to problem 1…

Rant over

All fair comments. I've never owned one, and don't intend to either
