Episode notes
Hidden Markets Run On Rules Not Prices
- Hidden markets allocate goods by relationships, timing, and information rather than price.
- Understanding these non-price rules lets you increase chances of getting scarce things.
Treat Scarcity Like A Race
- Identify when a first-come, first-served race exists and be ready before it starts.
- Show up with a plan and act fast to beat others in timed drops or reservation releases.
Settle For Silver To Win
- Settle for a less popular option and treat it as your first choice when competition is intense.
- Choosing 'silver' increases success in markets where demand clusters on one obvious choice.
