(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer MSN, the $199.99 limited-edition Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide became unavailable at major retailers ahead of its official launch, driven by collector demand and artificial scarcity positioning.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you are selling a premium physical object (coffee table book, deluxe edition, collector's guide), do not aim for 'available everywhere.' Announce availability to a limited set of retailers, then let the sell-through numbers themselves signal scarcity. Buyers of $200+ items are information-hungry; they hunt. Give them a hunt. List the SKU at three retailers, not thirty. Let one sell out. Watch the secondary market. Restock selectively. The FOMO is the product.

List the SKU at three retailers, not thirty. Let one sell out. Watch the secondary market. Restock selectively. The FOMO is the product. Availability is the scarcity lever.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — MSN: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/pok%C3%A9mon-deluxe-guide-in-high-demand-before-launch/gm-GM9DB1DAC0.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
