Totally agree.  Here in Virginia I've heard tale of  professional flippers/ "hunters" will drop 3-4 folks off hours in advance of a store opening with a handful of cash to stand in line "separately".  There was someone employed through VA ABC corporate who was- as of early March- selling information via Patreon about where certain bottles were headed presumably to these same type of people. 

In short, some people try to make a living off hunting bottles to resell or leave to gather dust on a shelf.  In my opinion it's silly.
