 Nope.  You underestimate how determined resellers are to destroy the
 value of what they're reselling.  I don't know why they do it.  These do
 in fact show up routinely without pods. Because they think they can make more money
by selling the pods 
separately? It happens with old cameras as well, the camera is sold 
without its special take-up spool, which is sold separately for as much 
as the camera itself. And with cars, sell an old car in parts and you 
will get much more for it than if you sell it intact.
