I'm picturing these net marketer businesses buying up whatever stock it can find and sells it for the markup - stereotypical used car salesman style or like a junkyard. While it's not something you'd find me doing either, the only way we can stop them is for no-one to buy these products! The immoral part about what you describe, as I see it, lies in the merciless selling of poor quality products or products whose quality has not been verified, and/or overstating the product benefits and misleading the buyers.
