It would seem to me that Dealers may not be required to follow any rules anymore since the change of ownership and the declining market. I would presume that because Lighthouse Depot is selling way below retail when they feel like it, that dealers have the same option, unlike the past.

When a piece retired in the past the remaining unsold pieces were destroyed or put out to pasture never to be sold again(at least we thought so until the unsold Society Pieces from years past surfaced and were put up for sale to anyone that wanted then(Society members or not). With that philosophy of never being sold after retirement out the window, anything would seem fair in love and war as long as HLs sells their product and collects the cash in advance. I'm sure they could care less what the dealer sells their's for. Of course, this is just my take on this subject and I have no facts to back my theories up with.
