		<description>I normally do not comment on certain blogs etc but I have to say first, &quot;what does the price of tea in China have to do with anything.  In this study one has nothing to do with the other.  Furthermore if you want to question ethics ask what extremes have some went through to obtain authentic handbags (wonder if the percentages would change).  

I&#039;m concerned that a blogger commented and said the police may be too busy with high profile murders and killings.   You may want a do over with that comment because the world is bad enough as it is and would be worst if the police were to start backburning murderers and killings to pursue people selling replicas. There are so many more important things the police could be doing and i don&#039;t want my tax dollars spent on catching replica sellers or replica buyers.  Know what you are buying and if you want an authentic purse go to a reputable store.  If you want to be frugal and take a chance on getting a replica by all means buy from whoever has what you like with the assmuption it is not authentic and do not pay an authentic price.  This study does not make any sense at all, it only shows that the creater does not like counterfeit products and aims to degrade anyone selling or buying these products.</description>

		<description>i would rather buy and carry an inexpensive generic bag than buy a replica. some people don&#039;t understand it is a crime and promotes other criminal acts. if i can&#039;t afford the real thing, i&#039;m not gonna buy a fake just so i can impress other people. who am i kidding?</description>

		<description>Well said! I use to be crew and worked abroad and could afford the real deal! But now that i&#039;m a normal citizen in my own country earning a normal mans wage, i might consider a good quality fake for the 1st time in my life... a reality check maybe?  You are not judged for the bag on your arm! If so that&#039;s really sad what this world is coming to!!!</description>

		<description>Well said and I agree with you completely.  What is this really about here?  Is this really about morals, ethics and laws being violated?  Or is about that fact that the person who&#039;s spent thousands of dollars on one handbag does not want their look imitated?  Ask yourselves this before you get on your moral high horse and criticize someone else for their choices.</description>

		<description>I feel sorry for you after reading this comment. Who are you to judge what makes a person tick because of their ability to afford or not to buy authentic designer. Many large designer companies over the years have used exactly the same labour to produce their goods as the replica designers do.  The big design companies are more interested in turning a huge profit than buy paying a pitance to an asian workfore with little concern for the welfare of the workers who produce their product. Its easy for them to turn a blind eye in pursuit of profit. At least people who buy replicas show some common sense, whilst people who buy authentic are really trying to say I&#039;m better than you, maybe they too should consider replicas and give the saved money to a charity that helps these impoverished people. It is well documented that people with the least are the most charitable</description>

		<description>I agree wholeheartedly with this comment about designers charging huge dollars for their brand whilst employing the lowest possible paid labour to produce them. Perhaps the same labour that also make the replicas. I&#039;ve been a fan of replicas for quite a few years now, and I don&#039;t feel I am ripping anyone off. When I was single I spent thousands on designer pieces, which do date believe it or not. Now I am married, I have children and a morgage I still like to have the &#039;look&#039;, I dont believe I&#039;m a try hard, it just that my expendable income is far less than when I was single. In this day and time I believe their is room for both, there will always be the wealthy who will pay $8000 for a single item. I&#039;m confident enough in who I am no matter whether I dress in chanel or target and I will continue to buy both</description>

		<description>Visiting two Flea markets in Pensacola T AND W Flea Market W Street and Mobile Ala you would never know it is illigal,displayed right out in the open and sold as REAL,are Coach handbags wallets and shoes.NFL Jerseys tshirts jackets,Nike sneakers,all boasting authentic,and the prices you could get the real thing at an outlet store,and these poor naive buyes dishing out cash for fakes,How do I know I REALLY THOUGHT THIS GUY IN 277 BOOTH WAS SELLING REAL,HE HAD SIGNS AND EVEN FLYERS,with the whole NIKE catalog,and Coach catalog,give him a deposit and he would fill the order.Next they have in booth 245 a Chinese vendor with a Van labled I FIX HOUSES full of Coach and Tommy Hilfiger fake bags,he has the boxes behind the counter,where most buyers do their shopping,no one wants what&#039;s out.You move on and find tons of fake LV,dvds,games,
and football jackets and other fakes out in the open selling almost at the outlet prices.
The fakes are not even good ones.
Central Florida is full of these fakes as I DO NOT think the police have been trained nor give a darn,they seem to care only about high profile murders and killings .I thing the companies are losing the battle,police do not seem to take in seriously,and as long a Flea markets do not care,this money will slip into the hands of criminals out of this country</description>

		<description>Have seen both good quality fake bags as well as the real deal at authentic stores for a particular famous brand and honestly couldn&#039;t tell much of a difference. I do know there are people who profess of an ability to &quot;spot a fake a mile off&quot;. I guess that there are fakes and then there are fakes, but I feel that most people are out of touch with the high standards that some masters of replicas can achieve. All it does for me is show just how much brand name companies are ripping people off just for, well, their name, and not much else! Just because labor is cheap in one country and expensive in another does not necessarily mean that cheap laborers will produce sub-standard goods...I feel that when one buys from an authentic brand name, one pays 20% for the product and 80% for the name and I would rather pay only for the product!</description>
