Maybe we could have some ‘less expensive’ Elytras with no repair on them, that way people whom do not have enough money on them, could still buy them, however, that could mean some people could just buy all of them, and then put them up for higher prices.

This could be again solved by having 1 un-edited elytra per person for a certain cost (still high though, but not enchanted elytra high) so as to make it so people cannot buy the entire stock.

There would still be corrupt practices surrounding this such as people putting them out for sale again for higher prices, buying them off of other people for high amounts of money, knowing they could either pawn them off for higher or just to have more sets of wings.

You’ll always get the people however, whom just die whilst wearing them, so they’ll get lost that way.
