Threatening legal action against Ebay it does not crack down on counterfeits

Buying your Louis Vuitton handbag on eBay defeats the purpose.

A magazine hired a diamond expert to examine the diamonds as some place like Target, and he said that for what was advertised the diamonds he examined were good quality. In fact he said he was surprised at the quality.

Similar diamonds at Tiffany's would cost substantially more, but people of a certain means would prefer to buy their diamonds at Tiffany's. In part because they feel you don't go to Target to buy diamonds, but also they know when they go to Tiffany's you know how you are going to be treated and you know what you are going to get.

What's the average purpose of buying a Luis Vuitton handbag on eBay? People on eBay are looking for cheap bargains on brand names they couldn't afford retail. They're too cheap to even buy them at Target.

There are some luxury good stores I pass downtown, including a Luis Vuitton store, where I wonder if they'd let me in, much less buy something. "We don't doubt that your credit card is valid, but we'd prefer that you not buy anything here. The alley door is this way."

In case anyone wondering, my things are carried in a Jansport backpack with a broken zipper that I used in college.
