Most retailers have no incentive to cheat on this.

That's absurd! Established retailers will be forced to "cheat," to use your term, to compete with the black market, to say nothing of "The Little Shop Around the Corner" that sells "used" goods without the 30% tax which may not be exactly "used" in the traditional sense of the term.

So in your dire world a black market operates almost with impunity. Everybody is involved. Sheesh. At what point do you think we run out of used goods or do you think we call live forever off of each others cast-offs?
