@horus500 – unless an item is expected to be persistent then it will, by default be finite.

It costs money to make these things, so unless the expectation is that more will be sold than they make, then why make more? Saying that a shop would buy 1000 of an item doesn’t make sense. Shops don’t work like that. They have to meet demand, not hope.

@tankkommander – why should Workshop care about scalpers? You hit the nail on the head with ‘the fact people will pay.’ and we’re back to markets and supply and demand fixing price. Take petrol and energy. In the UK, both are heavily taxed, but we need them, so the tax continues to rise. However, as the price rises, less is sold – which is the intent. The market finds an equilibrium.
