Also, random lotteries also prevent hoarding. Same with queues with a reasonable limit on the number you can take per trip through the queue.

Sure they do. If you can't afford $70 for a bottle of hand sanitizer, the product is sold out. Sold out is always a function of 'the cost of getting it to me is too high'.

He had no intention of sitting on it. > Sold out is always a function of 'the cost of getting it to me is too high Arguing by trying to redefine words is the lowest form of discourse. You know what the term means, and what I meant by it!
