I suppose this is a better comparison. I will say that I do have bought a fair number of used dress clothes (college teacher on a limited budget but required to dress "nice"). I steer well clear of certain brands after learning the hard way that they don't differentiate via their labels between items they sell in their main stores and lower quality items they make specifically to sell at their outlet stores. On the other hand, what I buy on eBay or at Goodwill has no impact on their bottom line, so they couldn't care less what I think about their business practices.
