Trust me, he's no rookie, he knows this, and it's nothing new. I literally heard him saying sarcastically "straight to eBaaaaay" after signing some LP when I saw him for the very first time, outside the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Also see the plenty of footage of signings outside his yearly visit to LIPA, in which McCartney ignores certain people by saying "nope, you're a dealer".
Im sure he is able to spot the sellers as well but now with hiring women & children they dont even need to be seen while others are doing their dirty work. Which is why I mentioned the tactic of getting the shrink wrap signed instead of on the actual record. People who are volunteering to do this are just as much to blame as the ones who put them up to it.
