To this I say, don't be in such a rush. People only make these "mistakes" like confusing pensalir for gollux? when theyre in a rush or not paying attention. But truthfully, I wouldn't mind being able to buy more than one superior item, since itll become worthless in terms of meso. But I find the reasoning behind it rather dumb. There's better reasons for having it be restocked than "accidentally selling to npc"

Fusion anvils can make them look like fodder/trash. The issue also arises (and is strongest, imo) with things like starring and scrolls. This is purely random chance and is part of a recommended action for gear progression. You could say that in Reboot with stars, there is now the option to prevent gear destruction while starring for more mesos, but that fails to take into account anyone who boomed their gear before the changes.

Would you tell them that due to their bad luck or stupidity, their only option is to either opt for worse gear or restart on a new character? If there's a possible solution that doesn't negatively impact others, why not go for it?

These items weren't meant to be locked into this level of one-time accessibility. That's why they were made tradable. The issue is that on Reboot, you can never acquire a second, at present, no matter how many hours or dailies you're willing to slog through. Though if the initial stock was upped to two (presumably with a doubling or tripling or more of the price of the first one) without restocking the shop on regular intervals, its value wouldn't drop to zero. It'd drop for sure, but not to zero. This impact on the market for these items honestly depends on the implementation and it doesn't have to be as dramatic as you made it out to be (understandably, that was likely hyperbole).
