I can think of one reason that fits my situation - my PRS-500 is no longer working properly. From day one I've had issues with the battery - the battery life never came close to living up to the specs - but over time it has gotten worse, and now reports a dead battery within a few days, regardless of usage. When I plug it in, it sometimes reports the battery is fully charged - but it is inconsistent. Rather than trying to sell a dysfunctional reader on ebay "as is" or trying to get it repaired - I may be better of taking the trade in deal. I've had my eyes on the PRS-300.
