I don't see how buying a fake can be compared to buying a wallet someone has used for 2 years. I just prefer to buy new, real or not.

With that said, I haven't made a decision yet. All I'm saying is I don't mind spending $400 less for essentially the same product, made of the same material, but with a few minor details that are different from the original (I'm referring to high quality replicas as I have seen some hideous ones). Buying authentic may mean something to you but to me it doesn't rank that high. Quality and design, among other things is most important to me. My point is, I'm not against buying replicas and certainly wouldn't judge someone if they bought replicas. Hell I bet the Citizen watch I bought off ebay for $220 (but retailed for $635) was a replica. I don't know and I don't care as it has served me well for the past 5 years and continues to work flawlessly to this day, authentic or not.

I know you haven't accused me of anything (yet) but I'll just make it clear: I'm not trying to be a poser or show off since that would be better accomplished by getting a flashier wallet. I just like this particular design and the sexy ass taiga leather
