Why don't they just sell more of them?
Or as ALittleLight says, auction them?
Edit: OK, I know, limited editions. Like numbered and signed prints. But it's arguable that people who want them the most will get them. Even if it's just for resale. Doesn't seem like the seller's responsibility.
- chii 7y ago> Doesn't seem like the seller's responsibility. sounds like to me that the seller doesn't want the scalper to sell outside the official channels imho. It might dilute the brand as well.
- mirimir 7y agoWhy do "official channels" matter? They're just sneakers. And why brand dilution? Scalpers sell at a premium, not discounted.
- inetknght 7y agoExclusivity agreements are anti-competitive tbqh The real problem is supply. Popular tickets are scalped because there's only so many tickets. Then unpopular tickets are scalped because it was so easy to scalp the popular ones. There's only so many sneakers that can be made: making more chews up the supply chain for something which isn't _truly_ being consumed.
