True, but you could have, and this would probably have been a shorter but more meaningful exchange. 

My point was a that a 20$ Nike bag sounds like a sweatshop product

nah it was found at an outlet store and in my country at least our outlet store products are like 3 times cheaper than on the website. My friend found a $240 AUD shoe for $80 at an outlet store. So im going to guess this bag cost around $50 new.

That is still low, if they can sell it on outlet for 20. It tells you how much profit they make if the they can clearance it for 25-30% of new price.

Just because it can be found for cheap when it was originally expensive, doesn't mean it wasn't originally a sweat shop product.  Nike has a history of sweatshop use.

Nike sweatshops - Wikipedia (Yes, its wikipedia, you want actual sources, scroll to the bottom. im being lazy)

 

The fact that with 2 seconds of googling i was able to produce that is actually scary.

Adidas is no better, just that they dont have a dedicated wikipedia article detailing their atrocities.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Stop being ignorant and learn about economics of scale, worker exploitation, ergonomics and what things actually cost to make.

A thread is dead until it isn't anymore. Thats the wonderful thing about forums.
