Why so many JL Audio Fathom subs for sale I wonder

Just mulling some thoughts around about JL Audio subwoofers. Been thinking of adding one, maybe 2 to my system. They are awesome subs and come highly reviewed in the Absolute Sound, and Stereophile. Recommended components, powerful as hell, accurate, flexible...all very positive attributes. I have a few friends that own F112's, F113's.
So why do so many of them show up for sale here on A-gon? I'de like to get some input from A-gon members as to why that might be? Seems baffling that something so highly regarded and affordable ends up for sale so often. Thoughts anyone?

I wouldn't sweat that too much. In fact, it probably works to your advantage because of additional competition among sellers...

Because JL Audio subwoofers were selling like hot cakes a couple of years ago and like most things in audio it is time for a change. I almost bought a JL subwoofer myself, but it didn't offer the type of connection I wanted, so I bought a REL instead.

People realizing two channel sounds better as two channel...

Honestly, I looked a few months ago an there were only a few. It is hit or miss.

Usually highly reviewed = more sales.
More sales = more re-sales.

Pretty simple math.
