I bought my PRS-500 via ebay and no problems except that had to pay additional UK tax - this was collected by the company delivering it. Tax depends on price declared by seller. Mine was about £40, if I remember okay. No problems with registering with Connect website and downloading books, including free offers at the time.

I would suggest you try to get a PRS-500 at a cheaper price. I'm very pleased with mine and not obsessed about upgrading since it does what I want, given additional software that is available for converting from pdf to lrf.
