BrickLink sellers banned from buying at LEGO.com

Area 51 Bricks

So... My thinking is just make sure your email for lego.com is different from the one on BL. https://brickset.com/article/59621/bricklink-sellers-banned-from-buying-at-lego-com

@TheBrickRoom They track IPs creditcards and physical addresses, I don't think a different email will fool them. However BL members are convinced it would be a privacy violation. I'm thinking your store inventory is out there for anyone to see so it just takes work.

If LEGO really wants to reach as many fans/kids as possible, as they seem to say, with their sets/parts they should stop releasing limited editions and instead produce a many as the market wants and lower their prices. This would push all resellers out of the picture since there would be no profit to be made anymore.
