Comment on Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?
DomeGuy@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoNo matter how complex or inefficient the orphan grinding machine, if you buy something second-hand and the person you bought it from buys a replacement with your proceeds, you are contributing to that sale and thereby funding the orphan grinding machine.

Secondhand is a very good way to not participate in that system.
They’ve decided to produce orphan-grinding machines regardless of the sales/proceeds.
Your responsible secondhand purchase has nothing to do with someone else purchasing a new product.
