Do you buy fake branded items?

Yes or No
Why?

[1D4LV]

i don't. because i am after the quality original items give.

[effone]

i dont buy it.

why? as an example - my officemate bought an adidas basketball shoes in greenhills, during the game, he noticed the sole was turning into some sort (parang napupulbos) but he ignored it. later on, the other guy step on the rubber sole of it and whole sole of the shoes was rip off.

[pajerokid]

Nope......

when i was still going to school (allowance lang) i would buy fake jeans but remove the logos. okay naman ang quality ng fake jeans dati.

now, i just wait for guess to go on sale, sobrang mura ag nabili ko na jeans last week, P999 lang from P2200.

sa shirts naman, kung may pera ako, i buy branded na mahal. pero kung wala, i like buying collezione, relatively cheaper, but still good quality and they have BIG sizes

i dont, same reason with effone, im a big guy with an aggressive lifestyle, im just wasting money if i buy inferior products, pero kung may magbigay ng mga fake na wallet, tshirt ok lang.

[batang tukmol]

i do, lalo na pag not so impt. things like rubber shoes na pang stroll lang..para madali masira heheh..kase pag orig. antagal masira, sawa na ko sa itsura buo pa..e pag imitation, 1 year lang pulbos na..pede na ko buy uli bago hehhe...pangit ng reason ko no?..pero talagang bumibili ko ng fake eh..pero pag watch..syempre orig, kahiya naman yung "squash" tatak ng swatch mo di ba?

[GlennSter]

depende sa gamit.

bumibili ako ng both fake and origs.

[mazdamazda]

fake? nope.

i would rather buy cheap branded products rather than fake branded products.

it ain't the brand that counts. it's how you wear 'em.

plus, original products are are a lot better in terms of quality. many of my original shirts would last for years. my father even has 10-year old polos that still looks ok. while those fake shirts (usually given to me) that I just use at home deteriorate after a few washes.

Pareho kami ni Glennster. Depende kung saan gagamitin. Like yung mga pirated cds(kasama ba ito?), yung mga shirts sa Greenhills fake naman halos lahat iyon eh.

[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?

walang gusto umamin...

dati natry ko... kaso tulad niyo hindi pwede sa akin yun... active ako eh, mawawasak mga peke sa akin... never tried to buy fake shoes though, puro shirt lang... besides im after the quality talaga ralph lauren shirts would last 5-10years and yun levi's na jeans, forever na ata eh... sira na yun tatak yun jeans hindi pa...

[mikaztro]

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.

[theveed]

Bah, di totoo yun hehe... mga instik ang pasimuno ng mga lahat ng japeyks... :D

[ownertype]

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.
