C'mon, you know 100 was a hyperbole. But even 5 would be detrimental.

But someone needs to buy it once before it can even appear on eBay. Resale is a part of life in any industry where the goods are not physically consumed. Whether it is books, DVDs, video games, cars, houses, etc. There are benefits to resale, like free advertising.
If I post a book I bought new on eBay, 1000 people might see that ad. If one of them is interested by the title and goes to buy it new, that "lost sale" is just restored.
