This all seems like a pricing problem. If you don't have enough product to meet demand, you charge more.
I guess in the end it is worth it though. The amount of hype that surrounds selling out is great.

But in this case, the price-point is highly sensitive. The reason there is so much demand is because it is insanely cheap. It's exciting because of what it signals, and even modestly raising the price changes the narrative.
