It's not that bad of an analogy. When a toy store runs out of Furbies, that doesn't mean there's no Furbies available on the world market anymore. It just means that at that specific toy store you can't get any Furbies anymore. When they get resupplied (posted additional collateral, in the case of Robin Hood), you can buy from them again.

Unrelated, but when Furbies came out, my brother and I waited in line for some and we both got one.

I had a furry white one and it was awesome.
