"If you can take a designer handbag and resell it for 30% off online ... the consumer has to be a little concerned about that," Johnston said.

OH NO!!!!!! Won’t somebody think of the designer handbag companies?????? How am I supposed to show I’m not poor if my handbag is 30% cheaper elsewhere????

People who buy luxury items should be HAPPY that the prices are rising due to “theft.” It’s the ENTIRE point of luxury items.
