The simple "Why do people put up regional orders" ansver is; because there is money to be made. Regional orders often gives you nearly no competition. You can work on hubs and have the regional orders as a "sidekick" where you can put your profits from other trading and be sure to make money in the long run.
The more accurate ansver is probably because it's less effort to keep a regional order in order then one in a trade hub. If you've got a lot of money you can invest it and use a few hours to pick it up a month later. Make a pretty high margin off it.

Consider this in your thoughts.
Region Wide panders to the Seller, not the buyer.
Even if a lower price a Region wide will fill up. As long as you're the highest Region wide.
I've used this when placing buy orders before.
1) At the station place an item for what you're willing to buy it for.
2) At the same station place a 5 Jump order for 10% less.
3) At the same station place a region wide order for 25% less.
More often then not the Region wide fills faster even though it's 25% cheaper (Talking about cheap products here with large volume) The reason I place the 5jump 10% less is because someone 6 jumps away will make a single jump to get 15% more.
Unless you're at a market hub you'll soon see the orders are filled, Region, 5 Jumps, Local station. At least for small value items. What usually happens is the local station fills in 1 or 2 orders as someone is offloading stock.
I can understand that this system accumulates stock quickly, but isnt that an awful lot of outlay, at different margins, to keep track of? I would rather spend my time PvP trading against the competition with ONE buy order set to a medium distance rather than keep on top of three.
PVP trading recuires dayly work. A regional order can stand 3 months.

I've sold 600k items for 100 ISK multiple times. If im leaving a mission hub I wanna clean it out so assets list is easyer to look over.
If I dont got room to bring the item with me, I dont mind selling to the guys with regional orders.
