Editing Self-destructive design (section)

===Third-party sale falsification===
Products are often resold on the internet, and may be put on sale before self-destructive design defects appear. These sales will include valid information but become invalidated afterwards causing [[false advertising]]. This has many implications:

#Sellers may be completely unaware of the defect and will continue selling their product, hurting seller reputation once the buyer discovers the defect.
#Buyers may be completely unaware of the defect and will buy the product, only to discover the defect and harm the buyer.
#Customers may learn about the defect and decide to sell the product without providing adequate details, even without any malicious intent, solely to recoup loss.

*'''Planned obsolescence''' is unlikely to cause sale falsification due to its invisible and constant nature which usually makes it undetected but sellers who are aware of this dark pattern should inform buyers.
*'''EOL''' announcements can cause sale falsification if the product is declared EOL after the product is put up for sale -- which invalidates the seller's information. 
**'''Digital discontinuation bricking''' is highly likely to cause sale falsification due to its sudden and often unannounced nature, sudden bricking also contributes the highest amount of misinformation around a products functioning state.
