This thread is only commenting on and discussing points made arising from the article in #1 post, discussing Hermes:

For general discussion and debate on fake bags please read/post here: Why do people wear fake bags?

For a discussion on the 'gray (or grey) market: What is the gray market for HE handbags? It's not a fake...

Take a look back in history to ancient Mesopotamia @aabrooklyn.

On another note,
Patrick Thomas former CEO of Hermes stated in 2012 “80 percent of objects sold on the Internet under the Hermès names are fakes.”
Can you imagine the percentage now?

That really scares me away from pre-owned.

Sooo, this is very off topic and it's dinner time in my home with 3 kids. I'm closing this until our lovely H mod can look over it!

I have decided not to reopen this thread. Often people go OT when there is little more to say, and in this way, I think it seems to have run its course.
