Replicating Like Virus

One of the problems that Lelong has been facing for the past year is the volume of replica goods listed. I have read up on replica goods before some time back. There are two kinds. One is authorised replication where is it recognised by the owner of the original brand. And one is low class replica where we see plenty in night markets.

From what I observe, the replicas in Lelong are exactly like those in Petaling Street. I feel that this really made Lelong lose much of its reputation as the leading auction site in Malaysia. It loses its quality Sellers and indirectly, quality Buyers.

However, Sellers of replica goods are thriving because of the demand. I will never understand humans. Why would someone spend a huge amount of money on a fake item?

And you know replicas? They never last. And then these Buyers complain! Duh! How much more dumb can someone be? Cheap is sometimes good but it mostly is not!
