Some of the copy stuff is very good quality.

Many manufacturers cite the counterfeiters as one of the reasons why the "genuine" article is so expensive but really a lot of the time it's these big corporations that are ripping off the consumer with their inflated end prices.

Last time I travelled through Gatwick airport I went in the Nike shop, cringed at the prices and looked at the labels. Every item was made in China/Cambodia/Malaysia/Bangladesh/Turkey/India or Indonesia.

There were Chelsea and Manchester United football shirts on sale for £39...think they were marked down from £55!!...and the label said MADE in THAILAND!

Probably costs no more than 50baht to make each shirt here. That is some mark up!
