Cart-Hold Ghosting

When buyers add copies to cart, inventory drops to zero almost instantly. When holds lapse at 5 or 8 minutes without payment completion, stock bounces back onto the site ("the restock ripple").

Secondary Price Equilibrium

Resale price on platforms like Discogs is governed by total press run size, signature authenticity premium (usually 2.5x to 4.2x standard retail), and unmet queue demand.

Bot Mitigation Impact

Strict Cloudflare Turnstile verification with 1-copy-per-IP/billing limits redirects 85%+ of allocated inventory back to authentic fans instead of automated scalpers.
