<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9724471, member: 36"]As long as the shareholders get theirs, they DO NOT CARE about what sellers think or feel. Or that we're quitting in droves. Or that the legislation big corporations are trying to pass wil eviscerate the Law of First Sale. (you own it, you can resell it) More than VERO already did. It's supposed to protect buyers from people selling fakes, but what it really does is make it so only a few authorized dealers can sell anything whose manufacturer is still in business. That's what the trashing of the jewelry search was about too - so they could add Authentication (that doesn't - and isn't available to 95% of jewelry sellers. But they have to pay for it anyway.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, I bought two genuine pair of shoes that FELL APART on my feet as I was wearing them. One in an estate sale, the other on Zappo's. Did the shoe companies care? "Too bad for you. Go away." Nope. Protect people from fakes? How about protecting us from scummy manufactuers of the real stuff. New Balance and Munro in my case. Nike is notorious for not giving a rip too. Meanwhile, oh we must protect people from fakes and keep Grandma and Grandpa from raising Christmas present/health care money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
