In the scenario you arelaying out, only one person is 'involved' in a fraud. Party E.

AS far as legal scenarios go this one sucks. The store may sell any item they wish for any amount they wish. It was sold on their bargain rack because it was damaged. The buyer had it repaired on wore it (after having it repaired). When she no longer wanted the item she donated it to a thrift store where it was purchased. The buyer committed a criminal act when he/she misrepresented the nature of the item. If the seller had said 'looks like' or is similar, then no criminal act occurred.

An item of clothing lacks specificity to be unique as a matter of law. A car could be different, a work of art would be different.

If your attempting to make an analogous point, you did it badly.
