It would seem reasonable to guess many new owners of KPA1500 are 
upgrading from a KPA500.  I'll make a wild guess at least 50%, so if 
Elecraft sells 5,000 KPA1500 during the beginning of sales then might 
there be 2500 used KPA500 that might be available on the used 
market?  I suppose some will hold onto their KPA500 (they undoubtedly 
are multi-millionaires), but I would guess a fair number will be sold 
to offset the cost of the new amp.

So the question was what the price is likely to be for used 
KPA500?  90% new price? 80%? 75%? ???

Actually, I'm being a "fly on the wall" on this topic since I am not 
in the market.  I just bought a 1200w 2m sspa and considering a new 
600w 1296 sspa.  I'm quite satisfied running 100w with my KXPA100.
