    Theres no point in arguing about fake goods. So what if the yare fake, the quality is usually bad anyways.

    My opinion:

    If you want to buy a brand article.. as well you can save a little longer , to buy a real one..

    i dislike fake stuff.. my ex bought me a fake Gucci wallet... and i really told him: I dont want it..
    if i really want a gucci wallet.. i save money by myself and buy a real one...

    ï dunno about the prices of the fake articles.. but it's still money..
    i think it's waste of your money..!

    Bah, fake stuffs produced nowadays are like the real thing. Personally i dont mind buying fake stuffs as long as they are good quality. I dont have any issues with ppl who buy them so long as they dont flaunt it by passing as the real things.
     
  4. On a flip side, it is also possible that they are not aware it is a fake.

    Let's take some non-fashion-branded-concious person.

    It could be possible that they bought the fake stuff simply because they thought the pattern was nice - and not being aware it was an imitation of a famous brand. There are people who are not aware of brands like LV, Gucci, etc.

    I don't think having a counterfeit luxury goods affect my view on a person... unless of course they are not being honest about it and go "look how I got this beautiful (not to mention expensive) bag from Prada" while holding a counterfeit bag. Then I would have something against them for not being honest. It is not the act which is dishonest to me, but the intention.

    Just like I don't mind people liking Twins or any number of so-called singers, but please don't go around preaching how good they sing when everyone KNOWS singing is something they fail miserably at.

    dude there's nothing wrong with buying fake stuff.
    i mean you buy those "real" items just because of their name.
    but compared with fake and real, the quality is almost the same. so would you rather buy something fake and cheap or something real and expensive?
    i'd rather go with the fake!!!

    The quality is not almost the same. I would definitely rather buy something real and expensive if I always had the money.

    true, but i dont think anyone would notice it, unless you're like some person who detects fake stuff. ;)

    Amazingly, some of the fake stuff last longer than the real stuff... No joke!

    I personally would buy counterfeit brand because I like the design of the bag, not the brand itself. If there exist a no-brand version with comparable design/look, I would gladly buy it instead of the counterfeit one, but alas, seems like no-brand doesn't do very well in these parts @_@bbbb

    I dont have a problem with ppl buying fake stuff. Only if they are trying to pass it as real and instead of being honest

    But the funny thing is that you think you can fool everyone while everyone is laughing inside.

    i don't really think there's a problem with fake stuff except for the tarnishing of the real thing's brand name, if the fake breaks and if the person believes it's real.

    people have to do with they can have and can buy. then again, i'm amazed there's such a large market for fake goods.

    maybe they like variety and dont want to waste money from changing all the time but like what BabyRain said, i hate people who buys fake but says are real, if they admit it then its not as bad as pretending

    I don't find anything wrong with buying fake stuff and if they are being honest about it. A friend once told me that she loves a specific style of a brand but don't feel that the real thing is worth the price, so she brought a fake.
