I recently purchased a game used helmet that turned out to be fake. In person, you can clearly see the stickers are the wrong size, shape color, material, etc. that wasn't very clear in the pictures. The item was good enough in pictures to fool me, however in person it's a completely different story.
My question is, since the item in question is clearly a fake but won't might not be very obvious another buyer, should I damage, destroy, ruin, mark up the item so it can never be sold to an uneducated buyer in the future?
I've been contemplating doing this since I'm required to return the helmet in order to get a refund. I'm worried that it will just get re-listed and keep getting traded or resold over the years. What are your thoughts? Should an item that you know is fake be destroyed or damaged to the point that it can never be sold again?
