The nth degree of planning required at WDW these days makes it more stressful than fun for me at this point
Then I’m not the only one that has multiple spreadsheets, two scientific calculators, an abacus, compilation of historic weather reports for each day, a psychic and divining rods as a back up to plan my next trip to Disney?

No you’re not!
and don’t forget alarms on your phone so you don’t miss deadlines!Maybe they did that on purpose to stop flippers but there must be a better way
Yea, not sure how you stop flippers, but my three takes on that are:
Disney needs to not have as many “limited run” items just make more of the item for God’s sake. I get the feeling these are to get people into the parks, but the people it gets into the parks are the ones getting them to resale (who most likely have annual passes) then exit the park. I will say I’m not traveling to WDW to get a plastic Figment or Mr. Toad popcorn bucket.
When there is a limited run item, for in person sales and online sales, make it a lottery system for who gets to purchase it along with the purchase limit of two. I know the flippers will probably find way to overwhelm the lottery system but at least it gives the rest of us a fighting chance.
Lastly, consumers need to get a grip, you will not die if you don’t get that plastic popcorn bucket! If people stop paying stupid money and get more discerning then the flipping will go away or there flipping prices will get more reasonable.
But I won’t hold my breath on that one. No you’re not! and don’t forget alarms on your phone so you don’t miss deadlines!
Yea, you should have seen the looks I got from my wife when the phone alarm would go off at 6:50am
to make our Lightning Lane selections! Even if it was playing “Now is the Time”!

So true! You’re attracting only the people who are flipping. I’ve never understood why they don’t just make more of whatever it is. By not doing that they’re literally handing money over to secondary sellers and we all know how much Disney wants to make a profit!
