So I went into this consignment/2nd hand store today located in Danvers mass in the next town over from where I live, hoping to find something cool or vintage and they had an entire section dedicated to fake sig coach bags. They had all of the fugly ones that we have seen on the worst fakes thread. They had that huge black and white sig luggage one with the pocket in front and with plastic on the handles and she was selling it for 80 dollars. Ugly patchwork, fake carlys hobos with really bad stitching and where the cs didn't line up at at all the seams. Walls of this stuff And she kept her fake wallets in locked cases ! AS IF ! Just thought I would share
Horrified !

I could care less if the store was selling them as replicas for $10; that's fine with me. However, an $80 price tag & keeping items locked up would imply to me that she's passing these off as real. Is that illegal? It should be--poor ppl that don't have tpf might think they are getting a good deal. The store owners should be held accountable, IMHO.
You can report them to coach here. http://www.coach.com/cservice/FaqTemplate.aspx?faq_id=34

Ten reasons why you shouldn't buy a fake bag:
1. It is illegal; selling or buying more than two bags is considered trafficking
2.Counterfeiters steal intellectual property and violate copyright laws.
3.Counterfeit factories use forced child labor and sweatshops
4.Evidence indicates that illegal counterfeiters funnel money to organized crime and terrorists, including Al-Qaeda.
5.The FBI considers it a serious crime with implications for public safety and security
6.Counterfeiters do not follow environmental regulations or safety guidelines
7.Counterfeiting is detrimental to the United States economy and all of us. Business losses to illegal counterfeits are estimated to exceed $250 billion per year.
8.Fake bags are made with poor quality materials and inferior craftsmanship. Counterfeiters
often use the cheapest material available and no quality control.
9.Counterfeits are overpriced! A cheap thrill shouldn't cost more than $30
10.Don't fake it! More people recognize knockoffs than you realize.

Oh she knew ! I didn't stay long enough and she was busy ringing up clothes for people but I went to her daughter's store and she had vintage real coach so I figured her mother would have some cool stuff but she told me that I could try but that her mother gets all of that "fake coach stuff" I really don't think that she thinks what she is doing is wrong but nobody probably bothers with her and I sure the police around here don't care about that stuff. I just won't ever shop there or go in there again. I didn't even want to touch the stuff. She had fake Fendis too but for much cheaper.
I heard a saying once......
A deal on sH!t is Always a sh!Tty deal
Gonna have to use that one....
