Fake Goods
« on: August 20, 2017, 13:13:51 PM »
I'm reading a lot of posts on social media about shops selling fake goods being closed down for a few days. I heard that there was a clamp down on shopsselling fake goods in Marmaris a couple of years back but this Soon petered out.  What is the situation in the Fethiye area. My contention is: if you can afford the real thing, you will but it and I personally don't think buying fakes, hurts the original designer.  Let's face it, good though they may be, a fake invariably looks like a fake. This situation would impact greatly on merchants ability to make a living.

Perhaps a Turkish entrepreneur will come up with an innovative idea to fill the spaces ? A new restaurant or several would be a great idea.  ;)

So how will everyone access their fake handbags? There must be thousands somewhere. And what about all the cd's with someone wandering across the screen as the film is copied in the cinema? I gave up watching the fakes as the end was sometimes missing by about five minutes. :D

You see, I don't associate fake in Turkey with the fake goods which are impounded by our customs authorities. You know that in Turkey, you are buying fakes. They are even advertised as such. They are never masqueraded as genuine. Fakes which are sold as genuine at the genuine price are a different matter. Although I have never been attracted by "designer labels" there are those who are, and good luck to them. Honestly, to pay mega bucks for a handbag which spends its life on the floor, being kicked  around, who would be stupid enough to spend mega bucks for it? If people want a "look like" which is sold at a lower  price, what's the problem.  I always thought that people who have to have the "best" labels are lacking something anyway, they are just showing off.  Please don't close down the fake shops. They are what makes Turkey what it is.   ;)  :) ;D

I wish 'fake people' could be identified and dealt with because they are worse than fake goods.
