I'm all set with cheap knockoffs, off any kind! I enjoy saving my well deserved hard earned money that I break my back and shed tears of sweat for when I finally can afford to make the special purchase I truely value it because it's the real deal! It's called pride of ownership.....it's exactly one of the main reasons I volunteer to work overtime every opportunity I get without a second thought!!!!

You are right, what was I thinking..... I should only buy officially licensed kidneys.

So, where do you draw the line?

Chinese 'are flooding Pentagon supply chain with counterfeit electronic parts and putting U.S. military at risk'

Surplus deals good, knock offs bad...

Typically, knock off stuff is junk and no savings are had in the long run anyway. Although, I admit, 40 bucks for even a quality t-shirt just so I can advertise for the moco is a little steep.

Wasn't it Khrushchev that said "when we finally hang the west, a capitalist will sell us the rope". I think Commies in China refined to "we'll have the west buy the rope that we hang them with".

If you fill the need to buy china made products, go with the cheapest!!! Why pay more then you half to for crap. I like the HD clothing too. If HD chooses to have there products made as cheap as possible and still charge us the highest price, then we can choose who we buy from.

the MOCO is free to compete with more realistic prices.. $50 t shirts, $600 coats.. it would be a lot more convenient to go down the street for it then order from china anyway..

So would you buy counterfeit/pirated DVDs etc.?
You can justify it by claiming they charge too much for the real thing.
