But there are also real resellers who do it too hoping the bait gets taken so that's true too. I wasn't bashing, it was a response to the question and the poll vote. I know the magical chase story is unique, but the stuff I've seen written going back pre 2010 even with that guy being quoted(if real) was to screw with the price and to have a stock of them, that was really it.
Like celery said, there are people who buy up a lot in advance, then slowly mete them out to control the influx and the price to a point by their distribution practices, and it's not weird really (messed up sure) but it's not like retail on the whole doesn't do that too anyway the whole supply and demand thing, yet usually at retail it's new supply and demand, and not a limited already in the first place old item that isn't produced. Perhaps shoving off that pent up anger or whatever it is should be done to the topic starter/poll maker as it was his intent to get others peoples answers with those choices.
