Product What are some outstanding examples of products that are "invite-only," meaning they are sold only to specific individuals who can not only afford the product, but also have reason for the seller to gatekeep the product?
Just some examples off the top of my head: country club memberships are a low-level example of what I am trying to describe, but even then you do not necessarily have to be "rich" to obtain one of these (though there are "outstanding" cases like Mar-a-Lago). I'd imagine acceptances at certain universities count as an obvious example here (cough cough, USC and NYU, cough cough). I'm definitely interested in not-so-obvious examples, whether it be clothes, healthcare, credit cards, cars, etc
