these rais are few and far between. tell u what, they b better off raiding camden,sheperds bush,dagenham,9 elms and wembley markets.flooded wid fakes, wembley the worst.knock those out and the number of fakes will fall big time. mayb not on ebay though. ive had enough of seeing people in a shiny shit stopper 'prada' tracksuit set which cost them £20 and they say they's bought for 400 at prada. who they kidding?
RE: Fake raids in Manchester..... - sin`pl - 25-07-07
do you ask ppls on the street how much they paid for something?
RE: Fake raids in Manchester..... - Da Camden Ayatollah - 26-07-07
no but come on sin, for fu...
hold up i jus realised. dunno if you have this in poland but in UK we have 'flea markets' where businesses trade from. usually consists of a table, covers and maybe a few props at best. this is sick for a faker cos
they can see b4 they buy
stallholder pays fuck all to trade there. no business rates either
no one says a word or cracks down. after all, this is serious dough, n its all cash based
stallholder takes cash only
but the stuff is piss poor fakes usually although some are seriously bang on. in the prada analogy, u can tell they come from a market cos they is so shit and so blatant thats its 'prada'. finally, london's awash wid fake garms an whilst ebay's no saint, the markets are by far the worst.
how do i know all this?simple, they're not too far from my yard and sometimes i go to buy other things, like suitcases, or other stuff where it don't mean shit wot it is or how much u paid for it. theres more to markets than fake shit although its the most dominant ting about a flea market. car boot sales wrok on the same principles but cheaper still and fuck all overheads.
PS.I DO NOT KNOWINGLY BUY FAKES.

I dont think anyone of us KNOWINGLY buy fakes but with everything on the internet and the sellers on ebay, its very hard not to be sucked in by the stock photo and bullshit selling techniques.
we are all glad the fake factory got busted, just needs the bay to tidy its act up a bit.
Peace

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!
RE: Fake raids in Manchester..... - Da Camden Ayatollah - 26-07-07
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..... - sin`pl - 27-07-07
remember, buying fake shoes support terrorism!
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...
