"There's no such thing as a great knock off."
I have to disagree here. As a business owner I can sympathise with your sentiment, however I have seen first hand that this is just not true. Part of what fuels the knock-off industry is insanely high markups on merchandise. I have for instance seen a perfect Hermes knockoff. I know a perfect Hermes knockoff because I own several authentic Hermes items. The leather was exactly the same, the markings were exactly the same, the stiching was exactly the same. The price was very different. While the knockoff was not cheap (around $1k) it certainly was far less than I paid and the bag was identical. That got me to thinking. Where is the value in the supposed "authentic" items. Is it in materials or craftmanship? If so, the knockoff was able to reproduce the exact item for a fraction of the cost and the merchant was obviously still making a profit. Unfortunately, though I am loathe to admit it, oftentimes the value is simply in the brand itself and I wonder if that is reason enough to pay thousands more than the instrinsic value of the merchandise. missbynski on Apr 2, 2009

Completely agree.
US Customs has been confiscating knockoff Prada, Louis Vuitton and Coach bags, etc. for years - there are lawsuits pending in Europe against Chinese manufacturers knocking off BMW's, Daewoo/Chevrolets and smart cars - I wonder when people will start getting serious about cheap knockoff furniture? bepsf on Apr 1, 2009
