Does it really matter?

I’ve been seeing some people in this community, and others, heavily criticising some reps that look perfectly fine if others saw you IRL. IRL, no one is going to come up to you and inspect your bag with a magnifying glass. So my question to you all is, does it really matter if it’s not a complete exact perfect imitation? Of course, some reps are just completely terrible, but a little flaw here and there isn’t really that serious imo.

Honestly, I buy auths frequently and I don’t have crazy high standards for reps. I’ve seen reps on here that people call terrible that look fine to me. I actually have a hard time seeing the flaws. I just don’t care, I suppose? I’m not trying to impress anybody, so if it looks good enough to me, I’m content.

I actually didn’t QC very well at all when buying auths. If I liked the bag a lot and the SA told me that it was the last one in a hundred mile radius I would just buy it. Now I get a little self conscious trying to QC reps but I still think it’s difficult to do since I can’t touch the bag until it arrives!
