Often, a seller will list an item as new and ship the item directly from the retailer or wholesaler to the highest bidder.

Here, soldiers will receive, inventory, process, clean, filter, and ship all items belonging to deceased or injured soldiers.

The user who listed the item then arranges for a pickup or ships the item directly to the winner.

Upon refusal, the wholesaler would offer the already price-hiked items to the retailer at a lower consignment cost in the guise of alleviating the cost to ship the items back.

When shipping their items, the factories would literally brand their logo or insignia on the barrels used, extending the meaning of brand to that of a trademark.
