Aren't most pre-IPO shares restricted though (company has ROFR, company board can block sale of shares to a third party they don't like etc.)?


Yes, but the type of restriction matters. Sometimes it's just a ROFR at the same price, and that alone isn't enough to deter either buyers or sellers from directly buying and selling.
