Quoted from CrazyLevi:

WHy not just take a break from it this year? Who gives a shit?
The greatest gift of all is getting together with loved ones, especially after the last couple of years. As much as we all are "big fans of capitalism" it'll be pretty fascinating to see if we can just do without it this holiday season.
Why stress over a stainless steel toaster?

Nonsense.

They are pretty gross, but I don’t think they are made out of ewe.

So back to flipping pinball machines…
If Stern wanted to end this cycle of a scalpers market for their LEs they could look at the sales model of Ferrari. For anyone who doesn’t know, Ferrari has a sales contract that sets certain ownership rules. Some of this pertains to maintaining the look such as bodywork, color, and badges and some has to do with functionality such as not modifying the engine or lifting the car, god knows why anyone would want to do that. The idea is to maintain the integrity of the brand, that there shouldn’t be any Ferrari that doesn’t look and perform as intended. That’s not really important here.
The important thing that Ferrari does do is set limits on how you can sell your Ferrari. The sales contract basically makes Ferrari a co-owner so they can keep some control over their product in the market. The first part is accomplished because Ferrari doesn’t allow you to sell with in a year. This is purely to prevent flippers reselling limited editions taking advantage of limited supply.
Secondly, you have to notify Ferrari when you intend to sell, because they have the option of buying the vehicle back. Finally with certain very special editions, your sales contract stipulates that’s you can only sell back to Ferrari. There are no private party sales. They do all this to keep control over the market of their product. Some of these might be too extreme, but Stern could do more to limit this secondary market that now controls their product pricing ultimately drives customers away from their product from sticker shock.
