But the reduced availability surely enabled dealers to sell a far bigger fraction (likely very close to all!) of what they sold at list price or reasonably close, whereas a typical season will see a considerable part of inventory being pushed out at wild discounts. The entire pricing structure is built for a high margin/high discount pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if some would be able to earn more than usually even on less than half the inventory, and the upstream availability surely didn't collapse that hard.
