Why Replica???

OverLord
By OverLord

Hi Everyone,

Why Does everyone buy a replica of everything. I was looking at the classifieds today and saw a an ad of (i)Vertu... The exact copy replica of Ascent Ti...:

1)I have an original Vertu
2)My friend has a Replica
3) You can not compare with a real one why:
because:
1) The Screen is not glass and if it drops from your hand it will pop off.
2)Takes so much time to load and other crap like that

Why don't people buy the original one who cares if it is expensive at least you get a real phone!!!
Please comment...

Where did you get your tracksuit and trainers from ?

I think buying replicas is pretty pocketbook savvy, but only if they are decent replicas. If you tried to keep up you would have to either be filthy rich or work 5 jobs to support your designer habit.

I buy classic designer pieces because I also think it is just as bad to be severly dated in some old worn out stuff just cause it is Gucci.

A lady cant go wrong with a classic Louis Vuitton, vintage Chanel glasses and Cartier signature pens :). On a side note, I hate the new Vuitton logo bags with the huge flowers on them... yuck.

TRue balders, but if you spend that amount of money it should be for a reason, quality watches are "quality" precision movements, depth or water resistance accuracy etc.

For that amount of money, a vertu phone should be able to programme your digital box, remotely drive your car etc

What, you mean like being able to make phone calls?

Vertu phones are rubbish anyway, they have features of 5 year old phones.

I was once hassled by a fake watch seller in Bangkok. He really got on my nerves till I asked if he had a copy Casio - he soon buggered off!

Real deal or nothing for me too. I have one 'copy' Man United shirt bought for $5 in Cambodia. It is SOOOOO bad it put me off counterfeit goods for ever.

1)I have an original Nokia 2310

2)My friend hasn't

3) You can not find the same why:

because:

1) it was produced 2 years ago.

2) it`s too easy for my friend

i agree with overlord in some way, you either pay up for the real thing, or just go with something less expensive, no one will think any less of you, and if they do then eff em, not the type of people you want to hang out with anyways, but people buy replica everything, from replica montblanc pens, to replica ferraris, and i always wonder why......you either get the reall thing, or its not worth it...
