A certain group are willing to pay a certain price before release. Let's call them "the market". Eventually, those people have their supply and any unsold product is available for other people who weren't willing to pay the high initial price. Let's call them the new market. As supply and demand fluctuate and people enter and leave the market for a product, the prices fluctuate as well.
Tough concept, I know.
Remember one principle. For a product that isn't a necessity, no one can force anyone to pay a particular price. The choice is ALWAYS the consumer's.

Why does BO no longer buy product on the secondary market? Why don't they offer to buy hobby product at release for around 75% of their presale price? If it is actually worth that and selling for that much consistently why wouldn't they want to make that 20-25% profit? That was their profit margin on most products from inception until late 2019. Or could it be they are charging those prices because at the prices they paid they can't lose and don't care if it goes down or they have to sell breaks at a lower cost?
If Panini decided to get more money, like Topps has, I think it would be entertaining if they went to this type of model. Charge BO 80% of whatever price they list a product for presale. If they refuse to presell then be like Topps and charge what you consider market value. Wanna bet what direction presale prices go then?
