Because there's always someone who is greedy and wants a freebie or discount so much they'll undertake risk and hope for the best.
Kind of like Lee S., the guy who showed me the Omega watch he bought for a couple of hundred bucks in a pub from a guy down on his luck. It wasn't keeping time properly and hefigured he'd take it to a shop and have it cleaned and tuned, but his wife had a loupe I could borrow (we were in their antiques shop). The loupe revealed the watch brand was in fact "Ornega". You can get those in China or Hongkers for $12.00 US.
