I never understood the resale market for 99% of goods - what kind of savings and profit is there in reselling a Macbook or iPhone with only 10% margin to play with? I could understand a US$100,000 watch, but surely those are rare outside cases.
It was at KIX and I can't recall precisely, but it was past the initial entry/security area. It was a corridor and I can't recall if it was on the way to passport control or security. There were a number of kiosks where you were supposed to scan your passport and then an agent would confirm with you. I think it has to do with value, potentially? I bought a high-value item and he called me out as soon as I had scanned my passport. It was different for my SO who purchased a few very small-dollar items.
