it wasn't unknown tondo a deal to buy it all to control the competition
The owner of my local bike shop told me he does that.
His last tickle was on an in-demand brand of scooter.
He bought the entire remaining stock from the wholesaler, and sat on it for a little while until the stock held by retailers was sold, then released his.
He then became the go to seller of the scooter, attracting customers from all over the country, and even a few bike shops who had taken orders they were unable to fulfil.
