In some instances, it was bankruptcy liquidations that resulted in a

the "new X" brand is just junk).

So the original company owners never got rich, and a rent-seeker is
just taking advantage of the "brand recognition" that name had built up
over the years to make a quick buck for as long as they can squeeze
blood from the corpse.


That certainly has the ring of truth about it; many thanks.
