do u buy blackmarket or "bootleg" items or the real thing?

Question

which do u think is better?and why?

Answer 1

I've never bought anything bootleg besides movies, but as far as anything else goes...I'd probably would b/c like the other person said 'why buy the real thing' when you can get an imitation that's just as good AND cheaper.

However, w/ bootleg movies--they're okay, but sometimes people make terrible copies that make the movie suck!!

Answer 2

Of course the real thing is better.
Example- A Louis Vuitton Speedy china-town fake means nothing. The point being that the brown monogram isn't so beautiful on the real or the fake- but its the craftsmanship, the history, details, quality, service that comes with a REAL Louis Vuitton that makes the piece worth the money and gives it the status it stands for.
I only buy the real thing. If I can't afford the real thing it means I don't deserve it quite yet. Work harder. I wanted a Louis Vuitton when I was 16. When I was 20 I bought my first one. It means alot more to me than walking to a stand on the street and paying $30 for some poorly made imitation.
Design and Fashion is really an art. The history/story/quality can't be imitated.

Answer 3

I would never actually buy blackmarketed items as it's kind of immoral and quite illegal. I prefer to just shop at walmart! No sense buying something expensive if it's just for show.

Answer 4

ill buy mock ups because why do you want to spend liek a 100 dollars more when you have the same thing w/o the logo? i dont mind because if it looks the same it still is cute and nobody will know unless theyre looking at my tags or somethign

Answer 5

The real thing because it is the real thing lol

Answer 6

bootleg
