So, it appears the LEGO Braille bricks are (finally) soon to be released ( https://www.newelementary.com/2020/08/free-lego-braille-bricks-released-by.html
).
They’ll only be made available for free to blind children through the LEGO Foundation.
They won’t be buyable.
Will there be a policy to forbid their sale on BL? (to prevent encouraging collecting
/ second market, IOW, stealing from children¹)
And if so, will the bricks still be in the catalogue or not?
(Will it be possible to enforce a ban if they are?)

While I have no Horse in this race. I personally DO not only NOT want to see
these on Bricklink but anyone SELLING them should get an Arrow to the Knee. The
Purpose of these are for Blind Children, Not so there is a Scummy market of third
party sellers making a profit and I know we have a few here that would do it.
If BL had some better management to address LEGO in the Buying side verse History
Archive I'd say it would be here for History reference without an option
to buy.
End of Line......

They will definitely be on sale on other marketplaces, so there will always be
people profiting from these.
IMO, if they are LEGO, then they should have a spot in the catalog.
And having them for sale is also a way of getting them to kids that can't
get them from LEGO itself.
Maybe a crazy/stupid(?) idea, but what about setting them to a fixed (cheap)
price on BL?

I think that would be illegal.
| | Sellers that want to help getting them spread all over the world can put them
up for sale, while buyers that need them (or want to donate them) don't have
to pay ridiculous prices.
"Scummy market" sellers aren't encouraged anymore for selling them here,
since they can't make any (big) profit.
