    If I was buying something, literally anything, and the people I am buying from make me sign a thing that said I couldn’t sell the thing I am buying for X period of time after buying it, that would be a major red flag to me that perhaps this product is actually a huge piece of shit because they’re already worried I will try to get rid of it within X amount of time.

              What if I think it’d be cool to have a supercar, but the only thing holding me back is the money, but I’m not a dick? I just think they’re neat, but in the event that I’d have enough to afford one, I’d probably still go with something practical. I’ll never have that kind of money anyway, so this is all purely hypothetical.

      It would have been nice if they had done that with PS5s or concert tickets. It’s less about being forced to keep a crappy item and more about not artificially inflating prices on it (by buying out the stock and reselling).

        That argument would make sense if anybody was actually scalping swasticars, but they’re currently piling up and rusting away unsold. They really put the cart before the horse.
