Well yeah but I like sister groups' system more. They keep doing resales up until all events are over, so they do more than 20 rounds of sales. I still think re-printing CDs should be that hard to do, I mean it means more money for AKS and the girls already have slots scheduled anyways so they have to pay for them to be there and all the staff, space, etc. so the investment is small considering the profit.

 

I think they're trying to maximise day one sales. If people can still order weeks or months later there isn't as much incentive to do it before release, unless they want to meet a girl that usually sells out.
