[glow=black:8dd30cf08f][b]as you all know by now, i H*A*T*E = FAKES=!
and everytime i see a designer bag knockoff i get all weird and stuff. this is another one i found :x
I was browsing through ebay before.. and saw a disgusting fake Eye Love for auction... decided to do a nice thing and emailed the high bidder.. letting her know what shes actually bidding on.. and that i hope she doesnt regret it (seeing as it is a FAKE)
she emails me back saying she still thinks its a real (claiming she saw it in tokyo and hong kong 2 weeks ago).. and that even if it was a fake.. she didnt care
fakes are not even allowed to be listed...although they don't enforce it...I sold a bag before and one of the rules was that it had to be authenticated before it could be listed....what a joke that rule is!

My friend saw someone bidding on a fake rolex there before and he did the same thing. He has so many real rolex than he can really spot a fake. He's the king of rolex
Anyway, I think the person listened and retracted their bid. So sometimes it does work! It was nice of you to do that!

I had heard somewhere that eBay does not police a lot of auctions. To me, that doesn't make sense. I'm no expert, but I strongly suspect that most of the Hermes Birkins, for instance, are faux,, but those people are charging vrai prices.

Well, my opinion on fakes is basically, whatever. :roll: It's sad, and it's a ripoff of the original design idea--the art--and frankly I think a bit idiotic, I'd rather have the best real bag that I can afford than a fake one for the same price. There are so many lesser-known designers out there who make quality handbags and shoes for the same $$ as these expensive fakes--I would much rather give them my business, and have something different and unique to carry around as well. But you can't stop it the creation or sale of fake bags so it's kind of pointless trying. I do think it's absolutely wrong, however, to sell someone something you know to be fake--like in these cases. These Murakami bags are not even out on in the stores yet, in most cases! Do they think people are idiots?
