Do you buy fake branded items?

[the_wildthing]

No.

Halos pareho ni HG, the reason I buy a certain brand is because I know they're worth it. It's not the name. It's the quality.

Personally, I try not to buy those that are just expensive because of the name. Most signature items are subcontracted to cheap-labor countries. Dun na lang ako sa Made in Phil.

after seeing how the rap stars spend their money on Bling Bling rims and cars, pirated CDS na ako

they spend more on a set of rims and tires, than most filipinos spend on their house and lot. can you imagine that?

Actually we are all guilty of buying fake products knowingly or unknowingly.

Have you ever noticed you buy pirated cds(vcd, audio cd, dvd, softwares? Majority of the PC users here in the Philippines use pirated MS Windows installed in their own PC. How about replacement parts for your vehicle? Originals are too expensive. How about buying fake celphone casing or the likes. At times, we buy what we perceived as originals and later discovering it as a fake. Nowadays, it is very hard to decipher what is real and what is not.

May nabasa ako that fake/knock off stuff fund terrorism, organized crime, etc. etc.

Don't know if it's true. Haven't had time to verify. And if I did I wouldn't know how. Hehe.

If you consider fake ang mga factory overuns ng RL, Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Old Navy. Well I do buy fakes. Nasa pagdadala yan.

[skipper]

ako bumibili pero depende. Sapatos di ko tinitipid. kung jeans jeans lang pwede.

napansin ko kasi yung items na may fake brand mas matino pa sa local brands.

Lagi din ako sa greenhills.

[ssaloon]

ako rin depende sa gamit.

pero mas madalas nako bumili ng cheap orig stuff.

[SunTzu]

i buy both fake and orig.

depende sa quality ng item na bibilhin ko. orig item doesnt necessarily mean na matibay and of good quality. merong mga fake na can go head to head sa mga branded. Ung LA cargo pants na nabili ko sa mondo, greenhills noong college pa ako hanggang ngayon ok pa...nasa pagpili ng item yan.
