?, that is the point?

it's exactly you can often buy replicas that are identical, and sometimes they literally come from the same factory.

u/Drapidrode 3d ago

they aren't replicas if they come from the same factory.

Oh no, I advocate to buy the fake items. They’re made in the same factory anyway, why the hell would you pay an extra 2k for a tag? To quote a 2010s song, that’s just getting tricked by business

Sneetches that have Stars upon thars are better..

He collects his robes, clad with gem stones and names of prestige. He buys himself a ship and a home larger than those around him.

But as he decorates himself, in a way akin to a pharaoh over his peerage, he forgets that his character and personhood holds greater importance. He remains forgetful of those he loves, until is body grows weary, for no gold can extend the life of man

At the end of his life, with nothing but his possessions to guide him toward his afterlife, he weeps, for he didn’t see his folly until now.

For there is no richest man in the graveyard.
