I particularly " like" when you buy an expensive turquoise, just to find out- it is howlite.

I was looking at some really cool Burberry ties on the site for 35.00 a pop. Then I saw that the seller was from China and I didn't even take a second look. They are really good at copying stuff, they even copy the packaging. It is funny how people can say, "It even came in a burberry box!" as if the package can't be imitated but the clothing can. I don't mind getting a bargain for the real thing, but I've never been a fan of knock-offs.Eddohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791670508114906674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1161088965668316052006-10-17T08:42:00.000-04:002006-10-17T08:42:00.000-04:00Wait----can't he be reported for fraud?

Don't you have to touch/feel/see it before analyzing whether or not it's real? <BR/><BR/>Ebay always makes me curious.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.com
