No, we all know where you are coming from but the reality is these are the upper 1% of luxury items so it's not really worth getting upset over.
Some rich guy used his connections to buy a rich guy toy in the hopes to sell it to another rich person and make some money.
In a forum full of rich people buying and selling their own rich guy toys, it's a bit odd to see such discussions.
If this were a forum about the best places to get food stamps and we were all starving only to find out Joe who lives in a box on 3rd and Walnut street somehow scored the weeks supply for the entire neighborhood and is scoring tricks to sell them, well that would be a different story.

I blame PCNA for selling these cars to a dealer. They were manufactured for public consumption Not for dealers to buy all 5 for themselves.The sale of these cars were thu PCNA not thru a retail dealer network.

Dealers buy all the cars they don’t sell the inventory they eat the cars, and if the price is high the market will make the call on what happens. Supply and demand wins in my business all day and twice on Sunday.

These were offered up to anyone that wanted to buy one. Demand was never going to be that high as it's essentially a novelty item. Don't recall anyone whinging about not be able to get one so I don't see the issue here.

Apparently some Rennister are alway way out in left field. Are we talking about the panny or are we talking about the GT3 in this demand and supply scenario.

Wut? I thought these cars were sold through Porsche Motorsports. And that anyone had the opportunity to buy one of them.

See the article below. They were sold by Porsche Motorsport, not PCNA. They were not sold through the dealer network, but directly to customers as with all cars sold by PMNA. As you can see in the article, there was a finite window of time for ordering and with 4 days left before the deadline, they still had 4 slots left out of a maximum of 10. If at the end there were less than ten ordered, which it sounds like may be the case, the dealer didn't prevent anyone from getting one. If the dealership owner bought two he didn't do anything any of the rest of us didn't have the same opportunity to do, at least as of 10/22/18. With respect, in this case, I do think you are thinking about this wrong. It's not a case of hundreds of customers orders unfilled while a greedy dealer keeps precious allocations for himself. He just bought the cars like any one else could have.
