Ripped off by fake??

Unless you paid the real Burberry price, what does it matter?

 

yeah really? if it looks burberry and feels like ti, who cares if its fake, no one will know anyway, if its good enough that you have to ask us

 

I am looking at my Burberry's scarf. It has a dark blue tag in the lower right hand corner. It looks slightly different from the one pictured in the ebay listing. I know that I purchased mine from their London store.

It's has a full white border around the Burberrys name and mine has the circled R in the upper right hand corner. I'd make a digital picture of it and post it here but it's a pain, to me, to upload. I don't seem to know how to do it.

It matters a lot. If that dealer has been selling knock offs, it would completely destroy the sellers EBAY credibility. That's one hell of a risk but some sellers will try anything to move products. Labels can be forged if they have the right equipment & skill. The best thing that I can suggest is contact Burrberry & addresses your concern.

Good luck.

 

Don't know if this helps, because mine (it's real, bought in Burberry store) is five years old. But mine is very different. First of all, mine has "Burberrys" and not "Burberry." But, as other have indicated, it definitely has the registered trademark symbol by the name. Here is how the label reads:

Burberrys
of London
Dry Clean Only
Made in England

White border around the label, and gray or clear stitching. (not tan, not blue)

 

This could be a year-to-year product line difference. They might have such changes... although the BurberryS to Burberry might be a big clue.

Cardinal rule is to assume everything on eBay is knockoff. I'd send it back if you can.

Burberry does have outlet stores and you can get it at outlets like Saks Off 5th, you should try there for another scarf. I got a microfiber Burberry trench coat at Saks Off 5th for about 25% the original price.

 

Sorry, It's a FUGAZI!

If I saw you walking down the street and noticed that your "Burberry" scarf was missing the word "Burberry" on the button I'd laugh at you and call your a loser and your social standing would suddenly drop 20 points.

Conspicuous Consumption is funny. I know that its not the point, but still... who cares? Your friends? Your wife? Your employees? The chick at the bar?

Even though I have some "custom" homemade Ferrari clothing with badges I bought in Italy (and a good amount of real stuff from stores), the reason I won't buy premade knockoff clothing, accessories, watches, etc., is that once it is revealed that your Rolex is fake people will assume everything else you have is also a counterfeit. I would rather make do with a legit low-end product than be exposed as a phony *trying* to pass for something else.

Otherwise, I'd be driving a 355 Spider Fiero right now!

 

I know nothing about these scarves but look at the tag, it say NOVELTY right on it. That must be how the get away with using a similar name to the genuine article; or is that some type of scarf lingo?

Yeah, I don't think thats real.

 

CNN did a story about eBay stores a while ago. Seems like a lot of the people who sell these fashionable items like the $800 purses and $200 scarves are largely fakes. There's a guy on another forum I'm on that says he and his wife make $25-35k a MONTH selling purses on eBay. The only way I can see them making that kind of money is if they're buying fakes from China for $15 and selling them to label whores for $700...otherwise I'd open up a purse shop at the mall tomorrow.

Sorry Bill, looks like you've been had.

FYI, there are a LOT of fakes on Ebay. From looking at the auctions and comparing to actual products I'd guess that close to a third of the Tommy Bahama shirts on Ebay are fake. They are good fakes though. The best example I can think of the is the Tommy Bahama "Harley" shirt you see on Ebay. Everything about the shirt is an amazing replica, right down to the paper tags and shirt labels. BUT, Tommy Bahama NEVER made a Harley shirt.

Lots and lots of Fake brands on ebay.

Buyer Beware.

 

Bill, did you leave the seller your comments about the transaction? If not, time for some negative feedback.

 

It was 100 bucks, big deal. Cheap lesson. Suck it up and move on. Would you expect to get a real rolex on ebay for half price?

 

Go buy your wife a new one from the store and since you don't care about the other one being fake, you take that one. Then everyone is happy and you have a nice new scarf!
