Why be scarce?
Scarcity creates fashion. People want something that others can't have.
Lines create demand. People want something that others want.
Scarcity also creates word of mouth, because people talk about lines and shortages and hot products.
And finally, scarcity drives your product to the true believers, the ones most likely to spread the word and ignite the ideavirus. Because they expended effort to acquire your product or service, they're not only more likely to talk about it, but they've self-selected as the sort of person likely to talk about it.
