You said that you "hate" when people use words like "ignore", when I clearly stated that it was my opinion. It's still my opinion, and it's nothing against you personally.

Just explaining that I...

Sorry if you hate my words, but then again, my opinion, my words.

If ridding the site of fakes is too much work for the site administrators to implement or even attempt, even with the assistance...

Very little in life is 100% foolproof.

Not simply ignoring all reports of fakes would be a step in the right direction. It appears in my opinion that nothing is being done at all.

I've...

This is about illegal activity, not judgment about people's fashion sense.

The ebid site does not seem to do anything about the counterfeits.

It's likely the site will be overrun with them...

Papers are even easier to fake than handbags. They are obvious fakes.

It sounds like you are talking about licensed goods, which are legal and authorized by the brand holder. Perhaps like some of the handbag lines that do lines for Target.
Or a diffusion line by a...

Like the people who play the guitars and can easily spot the fakes, there are a lot of users of authentic bags who can easily spot the fakes too.

That is a great point as well. Sales of fakes hurts not only the manufacturers of the items, but those who make their living (or part of it) in the secondary market also.

They are illegal and there are a lot of them on this site. Are the site admins and users interested in cleaning it up?

Or is it to become like some of the other sites (ioffer being one example)...

Which is why I simply thanked you for your courtesy, mentioned that I appreciated your reply and did not dictate anything. My apologies if you took offense.



Again, I thanked someone for their...

Madelaine is correct that my intention in starting the thread was not to debate whether designer goods are worth the money or not, but rather as a new member trying to figure out if this is a...

If you are referring to me I never claimed to be a specialist. I did list some resources for authentication that ARE considered to be experts. However, with some of the fakes it is pretty darn...

As the starter of the thread that sounds awfully like you just told me to go away and mind my own business.

Of course there will always be people who don't know where the money from sales of counterfeits goes. Interpol and the FBI have already confirmed that Al Qaeda has used funds gained by the sale of...

Thanks to all of you for your replies. Before some of you are too hard on DZAMBO, he does have a point that SOME (not all) designer purses do not ever go on sale, ever.

One brand in particular...

A significantly higher proportion of counterfeit than on ebay.

There are some real ones too but many many many very obvious fakes.

The site has potential but there is already a site filled...

I only saw one "Coach" bag in your listings and it was an obvious fake, I could tell just from the one photo.

This place will never overtake fleabay if it gets all overrun with fakes like iOffer.
