1 shot sale vs establishing a business. The difference is repetition. If you setup a booth at the swap meet where you’re reselling Craftsman products with their logo on display every weekend you are violating their trademark.

ok, I might be able to buy into that argument. But thats really a grey area now that would require going to court over. who determines when a hobby/part time/supplemental income source becomes a ‘business’? How do you judge when it becomes a viable business? Some percentage of the Trademark owners net? Or some percentage of the entrepreneurs total income? What if entrepreneur is below poverty level income? I dont think NBA jersey scalpers taking $100+ per counterfeit jersey fall into the same category as a college student.

Exactly. And he calls his business Krispy Kreme Run Minnesota. With KK in the name. And he takes orders online.

This is illegal and trademark infringement if KK wanted to pursue it which they won’t because of the Twitter mob backlash. They’ll just wait for him to get tired of doing it.
