So what's so bad about buying a fake?

it may seem like a great bargain until you get it home. Fakes are often made from inferior materials, and when they break good luck sending them back. Make sure you get the right size too, because after you foot (no pun intended) the bill to ship them back to China (that's where the fakes come from directly), you probably won't get a refund, that is, assuming they haven't stolen your credit card information already.

There's also the ethical issues, like using child labor in sweat shop conditions, funds being used to finance crime syndicates for human trafficking, terrorism etc. You just don't know where these products come from and under what circumstances they are made.

Suddenly, that bargain doesn't seem so good anymore.
