Thank you and Great point! I forgot to mention them. Assuming they get retailer pledges (which I assume cost less per pledge) they may even be more profitable than the average joe. Coupled with industry experience, they’re like a stock broker for games and probably do better than your average consumer on both fronts. They have probably also limit some excessive price gouging which benefits people buying on the secondary market.

The Game Steward, a retail board game store dedicated to selling kickstarters, gamefound, has been doing exactly that for years and years.
