There's a big difference between an individual selling a single copy on eBay and a wholesaler selling hundreds of them at a time for under a dollar each FOB. If the market gets flooded with knockoffs, there's no longer a market for the real thing. Why would anyone pay for one of Tiki Atari's mugs when they can buy it elsewhere for half the price? That's why no one complains when Gecko sells his "tribute" Frankoma War God mugs.
