We ought to have a topic on Knock-off's. I've gotten some great stuff in Asia over the years for pennies. I read an article in the LA Times recently where a group of fashion experts were asked to look at a bunch of designer items and identify which were knock-offs and which were real. They couldn't really tell on most of the items. For me, I constantly get complimented on my fake Rolex.

For those who will castigate me for importing knock-off's, I'll just say they are only for me and my immediate family. I don't run a smuggling ring and I don't really care that I'm denying some extremely wealthy designer houses my disposible cash.
