What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale?

I figured this unit was one hot item, if you read reviews and owner comments. So why do we see so many used players for sale? I've read that the break-in time is quite long, and maybe the satisfaction quotient makes folks give up on it too early? Or maybe this player isn't really the cat's meow we all hear about. Any thoughts?

It's simply another $1000 player that was hyped by new buyers and the audio press.

Nothing new there.

I've heard a couple of them and they are remarkably unremarkable.

They sold a lot of these over five years, so there are a lot for sale.
