I think the reality is that if the money isn't going into APs pocket it isn't going to make much of an impact on your chances of getting an allocation.

I guess... Although it would show that you currently have / own more than one piece and hence you're interested in the brand more so than someone just wanting a 15510 for example...

But I assume you're right, since the profit doesn't go to AP in the first instance
