STOP BUYING FAKES

Okay, recently there has been a huge upsurge in the amount of people on ns posting about which Bape hoodie to get. I hate to say it, but 99% of the stuff on ebay that is "bape" is not. Its fake, a really good counterfeit. If it was real bape, then the sellers would not let it go for less than $200, which is the lowest market value for those hoodies. It may say its authentic, but i can almost guarentee that it isn't. Same goes for nike sbs on ebay. If a deal is too good to be true, then it probably is. You may ask, "Why pay more when you can pay less?" First off, people can always tell when a person is wearing a fake, one look and you can immediately tell. And everyone hates on kids who wear fakes. Secondly, wearing fake gear ruins the fun for people who actually do some digging and searching and find themselves an authentic. They wear their dope ass real shit and are lost in a crowd of kids wearing fakes. Finally, its irresponsible. Essentially what you are doing when you buy a fake is pouring money into an illegal counterfeit industry. The people making these fakes are theives, plain and simple, so please don't give them your money.

The people who actually go digging and searching for $200 clothing that looks like actual shit are retarded. Genuinley retarded. Fake gear is where its at, whoring tawainese sweatshops is all the rage.

personally, i find unique shit for pennies at salvation army. I haven't spent more than $5 on a piece of clothing other than dressy stuff for the past 2 years probably. Such a waste of money

You know you're right. It was wrong of me to attack people for buying the very goods that will keep them alive, at a price that their income can support. Without a camo-allover print, most 13-15 year olds will suffer from "not looking fresh" or nlf for short. Nlf can lead to the posting of black and white pictures on myspace, listening to Linkin Park, and in rare cases, suicide. "What can we do?" you ask. Most teens can not afford to cut $200 out of their weed and video games budget in order to pay the cost of these hoodies so essential to their survival. The answer comes to us, along with happy meal toys and nuclear warheads, from eastern Asia. Like Prometheus passing the gift of fire onto humanity, so do counterfeiters save our youth with hoodies that are still overpriced, but as much so as the legitimate product. I for one thank God for sending us these angels from heaven to grant mercy upon us all.

25 cents is nothing to you right? It's a quarter, big deal.

Well for some people, 250$ is a quarter. Just loose change.

sorry to say it but most fakes are rejected items made by the same facotry in which real ones are.

they usually just have some sort of flaw and dont meet the tolerance requirements set forth by the designer... so the workers take them instead of destroying them and just sew the authentic tags on them.

they come from the same place
they are made by the same people
they are made from the exact same materials

i read somewhere that most designer clothes (gucci, armani, bape) have extremely strict tolerances and it takes something like 2-3 mass produced items to make one that is inline with their standards. the rest are usually sold by weight to wholesellers.

Goodwill/Value Village is WHERE ITS AT for sure.

I picked up that for $2.50 the other day. So gangster, and literally 1% of the cost of a bape hoodie.

that is such bullshit. Especially when it comes to bape and nike fakes. When you try on a fake bape or nike shoe, it just doesn't feel right, you can tell that it isn't that kind of shoe, if you've worn the real thing before. Way more counterfeits are sold on the market.

why do i want to pay more for bape when i can get a fake one that's just as "cool" looking (not so much in my opinion) and just as functional for way less? sucks for babe they they are trying to make a rediculous product by selling trendy products, if they dont market them well enough to do so that's their fault. and I dont know how you could market a $200 sweatshirt to normal people, so what do you expect?

if you actually are willing to pay 200 for a fuckin hoodie, you might as well cap yourself. unless your rollin in the skrilla.

and do you really  buy shit so people know you spent 200 bucks on it? i find it rediculous, if i can get something that looks the same for a 8th of the price im not gonna spend more on it fake or not. Stop trying to impress people with how much u spend on clothes its so pointless. In buisness class were learning about how people are constantly trying to buy things to show their status or to show  how thier are inferior, never realized how right it was.
