Do you feel sorry for those suckers who pay near-retail price for "100% authenticity guarenteed" bags on ebay? Or do you feel that it's the buyers fault for not researching the details that distinguish the real thing from the fake?
As for me, I don't feel sorry for the suckers. nope, not one bit. Designer handbags are expensive for one reason - the attention to detail and craftmanship that goes into creating the bag. People who buy fakes obviously don't appreciate how difficult it is to match patterns and seams. My guess is that the suckers are buying the bags as status symbols to impress their freinds, and to me, that's not what fashion and design is about.
Well that's just my two cents, what's yours?
