I don't want to beat this horse too much. However I thought of this issue 
already.

Owners tend to buy upgrades and accessories irrespective of who originally 
bought the kit. This means that the list will tend to be self-correcting 
over time when the new owner decides to buy more stuff for the pre-owned 
rig. Also the advertising kit builders don't buy the kits, the owner buys 
the kits and Elecraft ship the kits to directly to the builders (I think).
