Resellers get to pick only the biggest, ripest fruit. The manufacturers have to care for the whole tree, otherwise those nice juicy plums won't exist to be plucked.
The manufacturers are trying to grow their overall revenue, not maximize Firebird/Halo Destroyer, etc. profitability. And they need to do it in a way that maximizes the possibility that revenue will continue to grow over the long haul. Could they charge $100 per Nate Sexton Firebird and sell them all? Maybe. Would that be the best move for them? Unlikely. It would most likely be a long remembered negative for their reputation, and earning 5x more Sexy Bird revenue for 2021 isn't worth that.
And thus you have a big gap between the retail price and the market price. Resellers are then inevitable, no matter how hard you try to prevent it. The complaint in the OP basically just amounts to "how do you prevent the inevitable?"
Right. Well, feel free to hit my DM and we can have this discussion in person. Make sure to bring all your really expensive and fancy discs too. And some money.. oh, and beer.
Your namesake died a drunk coward's death.
Pretty fitting.

Not even in the same state as the ballpark, friend.
However, that post did make me chuckle. So thanks for that.
Well, at least Neal died doing what he loved.

I've been having quite the difficult time finding certain plastics such as Really Freakin' Flexible with Gateway putters. I see one on eBay every once in awhile but they always end up costing like $40+ due to all the bidding. I've heard that a lot of disc companies production facilities are being ran by skeleton crews and they only release MAYBE 100 discs every so often. They get sent to the online retailers like 1010, Infinitediscs, etc but you got people who'll buy 10-20 discs at once then resell them on eBay for twice as much. I really wish the websites that sell discs would limit people to like 5 discs per week but I'm sure people would easily find a way around that. Just wondering what the DGC community thinks about this topic.
Plus I just realized you are a left hander living in right handers world...talk about unseen privilege's huh!?
While this may be true from a capitalistic perspective and indoctrination of one's thinking, it is actually not an inherent truth no matter how hard your assert the position that it is.
You want to debate economic systems and national cultures? I'm sure that can be done somewhere else, probably by someone else. This thread sure ain't the place for it.
But, accepting that we are talking about the USA in the current day, I'm fairly confident you can't figure out how to prevent a piece of plastic from being resold.
Sure, a seller could try to require, say, SSN and birthdate to actually limit sales to one person, but a) that's not realistic, b) it's a cure worse than the disease, from a customer satisfaction perspective, c) that still doesn't prevent resale, d) straw buyers are a thing.
By the way, still waiting on the DM big guy
