1) Pay the price
2) Shut up and deal

I think you are missing another point. (but feel free to disagree) if there were 300 available, there would be no teams grabbing them all, no one would have to stand in line, no one would buy one for $300-$500, maybe $225, and everyone who wanted one, could get one, by playing for it at the casino, or from just about any dealer.
