Fooled by a Fake
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You would think that someone who writes about shopping would be an avid user of eBay. But the one and only purchase I ever made on the site was among my worst shopping experiences ever.
The 80’s style metallic LeSportsac messenger bag that I sniped from the highest bidder in the final minutes ripped right down the seam about 3 days after I started carrying it. I am convinced it was fake, but why would anyone ever make a fake LeSportsac bag?
That’s when I realized nothing is safe anymore…clothes, handbags, watches, fragrance (years ago vendors in NY were selling a fragrance called “CK UNO”. Seriously.)
It’s a bit out of hand.
Have you been fooled by a fake? What’s the story?
