" I really believe that a person can have the lux life for less. There's buying new, buying pre-owned and buying rep, with each one having a time and a place and a merit. Why spend more money on the genuine article when the replica or used item will give you the EXACT same performance and look for so much less? Just so you can say you bought XYZ and it's genuine? That's dumb because the money saved could be better spent elsewhere, like on a vacation or college for your crumb snatchers. For the ultra-wealthy, buying replica or used makes NO real sense, but for most of us here on the lower rungs of financial status, it is the simply the best and sometimes only choice. While I would never advocate buying replicas of things like, say, golf clubs and medication, I do think a replica watch or replica purse is not just the right choice, but a choice for freedom."
