You dont think WE are? Buying a pair of fakes, if by accident or naivety is not a crime but the blatant money being made is unlawful dude, it stops people from enjoying what we have.
coz they buy crap and think adidas is crap coz their £10 rip-offs fell to bits.
I reckon we all been burnt by fakes at one time or another, unknowingly! mass produced shite is killing our fun.
Try getting a pair of legits on internet at moment, ive tried!

Its not a crime to unwittingly buy phakes as u said anth
we do NOT knowingly buy fakes, but some people jus don't give a shit. or know shit so they get burned. and yes, the money made from phakes is criminal, in more ways than one!
ppl that get burned, it happens to the best of us and its not nice
some never realise
others realise big time and still don't care

RE: Fake raids in Manchester..... - Da Camden Ayatollah - 27-07-07
Now that, i don't believe for shit.
organised crime?yes
people smuggling?yes indeedy
drugs?probably
benefit fraud?yes, its been known to happen. after all who'll know ifyou don't or they don't tell?
money laundering for the adams/noonans family?its possible.
tax evasion?why would anyone declare illegal or suspect income to the taxman?,most of it sits under one's bed anyway in cash form.
but terrorism? i can see why but i don't belive it. large scale money laundering, card fraud, high end theft and 'donations' from the brainwashed are order of the day.

At the end of the day, the fake market takes all the exclusivity away from the sneaker collecting market..
If you had a pair of super ape stars, and you had 1 out of 500 genuine pairs..
Then if the market is flooded wtih convincing fakes, your gonna be surrounded by people who have paid $20 for something you paid $200 for..
I bet fakes have pushed so many people away from the "scene"

Hi ladies and gents
1st time poster ( i joined about ten mins ago!)
Anyone heard/bought anything from discount-cheap.net?
The've got all sorts of superstars on there, and I know this may seem slightly naive, but is there any chance of them actually genuine, especially the rarer sneaks (fps, undefeateds etc)?
Cheers

Hey paulscott. That site looks pretty dodgy to be honest. I did a quick search and it has been used for scams before.
oh and introduce yourself in the visitor book...
