    Ok but it’s not done by a bunch of Robin Hoods, they rip off (read: steal and then destroy the economic capacity of) small/independent designers all the time too.

      Oh absolutely, I was mainly targeting the notion that the way “legit” companies distribute the profits is somehow more fair.

      If anything these markets show what the actual cost of production is, so it shows how much profit could have been distributed to those actually producing the goods. (Including designers, factory workers etc)

      A lot more people could have sustainable incomes instead of CEOs getting their third yacht…
