At some point, we're talking about really loyal people...people that may even buy stuff sight unseen because of the trust that's built up in the product and/or company. For example, I'd love to 'subscribe' to a product line...and say 'yep, I'm buying all of these, I don't have time to order each one, and I'll save you the time as well...just send them to my front door, here's my money, no questions asked'.
To me, these are some of the most important items in the near-future of e-commerce.

Call me cynical, but somewhere someone must think that it's better to under produce and make something "rare", so it creates a higher-than-available demand and hype. This way they don't ever have left over stock, an can tell their bosses they sold out of all their product.
IMHO, companies run on short term thinking now, because people don't tend to stay long term. My feeling is they milk whatever they can out of an IP while they work there, and then, leave for greener pastures before things take a down turn. Let the next person clean up that mess.
