Hehehe. Ako naman practical reasoning ang ginagamit ko. Why spend more in an item that you use less?

besides lets face it, y buy an orig dvd when u'll be watching it..what..at most 3 times? you'll be sick of the movie before the 5th time. unless your a die-hard dvd collector (and has lots of extra money lying around).

Can't imagine having a beautiful home theatre system and I'll be watching pirated DVD's shot from a theatre with matching people walking and conversing.

Hehe... meron naman po chief na direkta orig na dibidi ang kopya.

And as per the thread... guilty rin ako na nabili ng japeyks. Minsan kasi (esp. on clothes) na the japeyks are a lot more comfy than the orig. Pero minsan lang naman... pero conclusion is, nabili parin ako ng japeyks. Hehe...

[tinky]

I don't.

If I want something pricey so bad, I would rather wait and save enough money
to afford the real thing. I have a very expensive taste and if you see me
carrying a designer dud, I can assure you that it's something that I worked hard
for. I don't feel guilty for splurging on them. I work my a$$ off and I think I deserve
to shower myself with nothing but the best.

[redorange]

Original only if you can't afford it then save money so you can or wait for a sale. In the US if you are caught bringing the fakes through Customs you will be asked if you want it confiscated or if you want to pay tax on it that is equivalent to the original so you can bring it home. So if you have a $20 fake Rolex and the original cost $2000 your tax would be the same as the original, end result is the tax cost more than the watch.

Do you consider those POLO (Ralph Lauren) shirts in SM Malls "fake/imitation"? Kasi napansin ko, meron din sila nu'ng version nung shirt na may malaking logo na kabayo at no. 3 sa manggas (yung madalas suot ni Anjo/Joey sa EB). I once asked the saleslady, at sabi niya, sila raw ang local licensed POLO dealer/maker. Also, sabi niya, they used the same material as the orig., but at a cheaper price (P800 lang). While sa Rustan's daw, P5K plus daw yung orig.

I have one orig shirt like this, na nabili ko sa Singapore. Pero yung "SM version" parehong pareho nung sa orig.

[kimpOy]

sa DVD hintay lang ng sale minsan nga yung mga 2 disc nasa 299 na lang...

sa Shoes, orig dapat kasi sa bigat ko sayang lang ang 500 pesos ko sa fake...sira agad

sa Bag (ni misis) sobrang mahal na din ng fake or class a, aa, aaa bili na lang siya ng pinaka mura pero orig.

sa relo, di naman ako mahilig sa relo kaya yung hand me down na relo lang ni itay ang gamit ko, minsan sony ericcson ang relo ko

[Fast Eddie]

truthfully, hindi na ako mahilig sa mga brand names, or fake brand items.
basta gusto ko ung isang bagay kahit anong klaseng brand binibili ko. kaibigan ni mrs, minsan binigyan sya ng pekeng rolex galing sa thailand, pagkatapos ng isang buwan ayaw ng umander. hindi ako masyadong picky.

[boybi]

depende, kapag pareho lang ang functionality (like software ), i may buy fake. pero kung sa mga damit, sapatos, etc. hindi ako bumibili ng fake.

[alwayz_yummy]

Do you buy fake branded items?

Yes or No
Why?

yes, if:
non critical items: clothing for home/pampasok use, some clothing for panlakad, seat covers, some home dvd and home furnishing....stickers and non essential abubots sa cars/home: holders and figurines...

is generic computer parts kasama?

the other things: N-O..A BIG NO.

critical car parts:drive train, timing belt, electrical devices and equipments, basta involves elecrical, mechanical performance....

so my answer is not on the poll..it can be yes..and a BIG NO...
