Q. How do you spot a flailing industry?
A. Look for decisions made to benefit the industry at the customer's expense.
Used goods are not a threat to a healthy industry. They only threaten an industry where new goods have a decreasing level of value to consumers. Furthermore, attempting to block sales of used goods will not help any industry. Such an act tends to drive people away from the industry out of discontent with these draconian policies, and generally causes customers to resent the industry with increasing intensity as time goes on.
