MAC needs to crack down on Pro memberships/purchases, IMO. I'm in no way opposed to the Pro discount or even early purchase ability providing that they actually better manage the process so that Pro members can't have a bunch of accounts or place multiple orders. That's being done for resale purposes and that's in no way aligned with the purpose of the program. There's little profit to be had on eBay for those who buy at full price; they take a risk and they're welcome to the profits as far as I'm concerned. That's different than buying below retail with the express intent of reselling.Yeah I doubt it. There's probably a bunch of people who work together to order all of the products and then resell them. And I can't imagine they make enough of a profit on some items to do it without a pro discount. Obviously some things are marked up more than others but still.. Maybe MAC and eBay could get together and ban LE cosmetic sales or something.. but eBay is making $ off this too.
If MAC can't or won't manage the program better, then I think launching to everyone at once is preferable. However, that has the downside of taking a privilege away from the majority of pro users who are respecting the rules of the program.
