Well, then in a like tone, I just might buy up all the ones manufactured, so
there won't be any left for any of your friends to even think about.

Not as a resonably priced one, no.

So now your broaching into more maybes, status symbols, etc..
You're so far removed from the aspect of DIY it's laughable.   The more

They have to play the emission's game, in most countries now.  If they do
100% immediately the prices would jump to such a level that only your
friends with the big money would be able to afford them.
Again, this is matter of reality.
