You have a valid point. However if you think about it logically, he is buying them used, so technically rota isn't making any money off of him. And if he doesn't buy new, it doesn't really matter what brand he buys really. I agree with you though, and like I said, i dislike my cheap rotas, not because of the name though, but because of the style and quality. I do not dislike all replicas though, some make quality products that are just as good as the name brand and because I know a lot of companies jack up their prices strictly because it has their name attached, which I also find equally as wrong.
