In fact why not sell each and every of these cards via ebay or some bidding market. The price will simply be the result of demand and delivery. Trusted contributors can expect a special offer. And the development would be secured. Wouldnt that be fair? Especially instead of supporting speculants?
Because market rules are not always the solution. I appreciate the fact, that they want to keep prices low. Wealthier ppl don't always deserve the exclusivness they are easily able buy for money.
IMHO it's good though to put a limited share of boards to ebay for quick access for those who can spend the money. Would benefit all - those who don't want to queue for a board can buy themselves out and the higher price will benefit all those ppl calmly willing to wait plus the developers.
