my friend, i really think unauthorized runs do exist..I have been to China and i have went to stores that they sell authentic products..actuelly if you ask any chinese they will tell you that there are lots lots those kind of products in china.
Because i could find a lot those kind of products from china and i was just thinking selling them on ebay and list them as authentic...
now the question is how does ebay that my item is not authentic when i list them as authentic and they looks exactly the same as authentic products??
as for authorization....how come i have the authorization to sell the stuffs from liquidation branded clothings? but not other authentic products purcharsed somewhere else??
Well I am not here to disrespect anyone's opinion, so we will have to agree to disagree about such a thing being available, even though you have the advantage of having been in China where I have not.
One could however mount an argument that you don't have to be kicked by a horse to know it would hurt just a little, and I consider myself to know at least a little about China, and their branded products. Unfortunately just because shops have branded items for sale, it doesn't make them genuine.
You are talking about a Country that became famous for the $10 Rolex. Let me use this as an example. You are the owner of Mambo clothing and in so you hold the copyright to your brand, and you are having your clothing range made in China.
If you were not having them made under licence, how would you protect your market? You would be giving the manufacturer the opportunity to just keep producing garments of your branding.
This is the exact same case as you are suggesting exists, and what I am asking is if this did exist, how would Mambo remain in business for more than 24 hours. They quite simply wouldn't, they would cease to exist over night because the manufacturer could produce the garments at a price cheaper than that supplied to Mambo itself, and then undersell Mambo out of the market.
Company branding is where the value of the product lay. it's not in the quality, it's not in the price, it's in the brand and companies will go to serious lengths to protect their brand copyright, as is their right.
Listen to me, one minute I say we will have to agree to disagree, and then I sound like I am trying to convince you otherwise....lol. I am just stating raw business facts so you may understand where my opposing opinion is coming from.
Why you are permitted to sell liquidated stock on ebay, or anywhere for that matter, is because no copyright licence covers secondhand items. Once the item has been sold, it is the property of the purchaser and they are free to resell if they wish.
Even though you can get many new liquidated items, they have been purchased buy a particular business previously, and are therefore quite legal to resell so long as you are the owner.
It's no different than if you buy a brand name item at the market and sell it on ebay, so long as you are the owner, you have the full rights to on sell the item.
