in the past few years online sites and discount shops have "mushroomed" selling branded goods at slash down prices. most of the time, these are last season's goods, goods bought overseas where they are cheaper or goods bought during warehouse sales. personally i just bought a bag for a slashed down 40% off the msian retail price. this lead to a conversation i had with a colleague who had some strong views about discounted purchases.
she is of the opinion that buying discounted branded stuff is no dif from buying fakes. in her point of view, if u have to shop around for the biggest discounts, u cant afford the bag and am pretending to be something u r not. while my blood did boil when she said that, i would like to get some feedback on what u ladies think? do u think people who buy discounted branded goods are fakers trying to blend in OR financially prudent people trying to get the most bang for their buck?
well I personally dont think its wrong buying at discounted price.she is of the opinion that buying discounted branded stuff is no dif from buying fakes. in her point of view, if u have to shop around for the biggest discounts, u cant afford the bag and am pretending to be something u r not. while my blood did boil when she said that, i would like to get some feedback on what u ladies think? do u think people who buy discounted branded goods are fakers trying to blend in OR financially prudent people trying to get the most bang for their buck?
everywhere in the world , branded goods are priced differently. So if u have friends and relatives in the EU and can get it cheaper for u... does that mean ur buying fake? hell no. it simply means u wana save some bucks u can. why spending more here when u can get cheaper?
as long as it is authentic, cheaper or expensive nobody really cares. Ofcourse ppl dont buy just for the sake of discount and the brand logo (unless some ppl are super materialistic and only care about that not the fashion sense)
I think what ur colleague meant is that she doesnt like those that save all the money just to get a bag to 'show off' and brag. ppl cant afford but yet still want to buy. which is true in some way. i dont tink she meant exactly like buying discount is lik buying fake.
its a win win situation for buyer and seller. seller earn slight profit and buyer gets slight discount and both are happy. nobody force anyone.
