Oh God how do I hate that. And all these young people wearing black socks pulled up to the middle of their calves, like those old men used to do down in Miami in the 60s and 70s. Yeah, that's what I want to look like - an old white dude sitting on a bench in South Beach waiting to die.

And if you guys really want to read some funny shit, go to Ali and look up whatever the most kinky/perverted sex toy you can think of. Pick a seller with really high feedback and go to his store and hit feedback. It seems like the majority of the customers are American and these idiots really take the time to write serious reviews of things like dildos. And it is freakin hilarious, no joke. It's like reading a review of a pair of Yeezies right down to how the damn thing was packaged. And it's a freaking dildo. You can't make this stuff up...

I actually really enjoy doing that... It's absolutely hilarious. Even come across girls (and guys.. Hey if you're into that. Think I've seen [MENTION=73591]JAFO[/MENTION] there a couple times) in the clothes. It's hilarious... Also, great tips.. I've had to yell at many people yelling at me after they bought a Hermes belt, that I had bought and it had stamped 18k on the side no one sees.

I replied back something like Bro, seriously? If you're worried about the chick (or dude) taking off your belt judging you, then I think you need to find someone better to do. I'll never get that. Ever. No one sees it. And if you're taking off your belt, passing it around, no one will notice the little tiny 18k on the top. Chill.

But, on a side note: the electronics CAN be genuinely dangerous on AE (also America, or whatever. Those hover boards specifically). I have seen, and continue to see people coming into my ER with smoke Inhalation, burnt hands, burnt feet, and someone burnt the goods (not sure how..) from these so called hover boards. A lot of cheap electronics are NOT up to code. Not targeting AE specifically but anywhere. The resisters, connections, boards, everything is all not correct. So, please be careful. E cogs, absolutely not. I'm not putting anything near me that has the potential. I'll spend a couple extra bucks on known brand. Yes, they ALL come from China, however the QC is different. I deal over there now, and have to face the QC problem myself.

Ok, serious question so I'll give a serious answer. Not that it matters because I've already said this 37 times and nobody listens but here goes: Truetime168/Lucy. She sells bags and belts and wallets and whatever. Just shoot her an email, tell her what you want and be sure to include a picture of the item or the link from the gen site of the item. She'll get back to you with a price and, just like with the watches, once you pay she'll go to the market or factory and get the best quality available.

As far as contributing to this thread, here's some tips that nobody's gonna like either:

Bags, especially the reps of the LV coated canvas bags, are going to have a smell to them. Depending on how recently the bag was made it's either going to have a strong smell or a not so strong smell. Everybody goes crazy over that, right up until they spend some time on the gen bag forums reading people going crazy over the smell of their gen bags they paid 10 times more for. The smell will go away after a while.

Belts - One thing most people go crazy over is the branding stamp on the Herpes belts. Some belts might have a light strike on them - don't sweat it. So long as it's on there and is correct - that's all that matters. Why? Because can't nobody see that part of the belt when you wear it because it goes underneath the other end of the belt. Buckles - if your buckle is stamped 14k on the bottom of the bridge between the two legs of the H - who cares. The only person that could possibly see that is either a truck stop hooker or if you get caught in an elevator with a midget. Same goes for LV buckles - if it's stamped 24k or whatever on the back of the buckle - who cares. Nobody's going to see it unless you walk around with it hanging around your neck. ***Make sure you actually measure your waist before you order a belt. Do NOT just go by the size of your favorite pair of shorts or pants. Measure your waist to get the exact size, otherwise you might wind up with a belt that's too small.

Serial numbers - I don't know how many times I've been asked about this. Nobody gives a shit about the serial numbers except for people who are spending too much time researching fake this or that online to see what the "tells" are. Seriously - if you buy a wallet and the serial/date code is stamped inside it, nobody on this planet is going to see it. If you're giving it as a gift - the person receiving it is not going to know what the F the code means. And yes, I've had guys admit that they're giving something as a gift and are worried their girlfriend or wife will find out it's a fake. Here's a tip - wrap it up all nice, slap a bow on it, and give it to your chick. Once she opens it and goes crazy over how awesome it is, tell her it's a rep and that you can get her all the rep crap she wants for a fraction of the price of the gens. She'll love it and act like you just discovered fire.

LV brand ink strikes - Everybody goes nuts if an LV brand ink strike isn't perfect. Well, go to Saks Off Fifth and take a look at the gens and you'll see a lot of those have light strikes or even missing a small piece of a letter. I've done just that and was shocked. But honestly, they're striking that ink on a very textured surface so sometimes they're not perfect.

Clothes - How many posts are there in here where somebody ordered say a Large and it fit like a girl's extra small? That's why I didn't sell clothes. Well, I did sell some clothes as special orders but the sizing can be all over the place and if you order a large and I get you a large and it doesn't fit, well you're gonna be pissed so I stopped selling clothes. Honestly, you can buy gen Ralph Lauren anything when it's on sale at the local mall, so I don't see the point in buying rep clothes that you're rolling the dice on size wise. But that's up to you. My local Ralph Lauren Polo Factory Outlet has embrodiered logo Ts for under 15 bucks each - doesn't make much sense to spend 10 or 12 or whatever on a rep and hope it fits.

Lastly, too many people expect 1:1 reps when it comes to bags and wallets and belts and stuff like that. Look, you're paying a fraction of the price of a gen - it ain't gonna be 1:1. The high end stuff is gonna be good enough that some of it you literally can't tell the difference unless you sit in the store floor with a magnifying glass for a half hour comparing the rep and the gen. And honestly - who cares? There ain't nobody on this planet gonna walk up to anybody and say "Ha! That's a fake Keepall! I can see the stitching on that strap is slightly wonky right there!!" It don't happen. And if it does- punch that person in the head. Twice.

And even more lastly, I don't care if you guys buy everything all the way down to your groceries off Ali. But everybody keeps asking for the link to the best this or that then rolls the dice because this seller has disappeared and that seller suddenly stops responding. Just save your time and send Lucy an email and tell her what you want. And I know some genius is gonna accuse me of being a shill for Lucy - guess what? I'm a friggin customer of Lucy's! I've bought more watches from her than I can even remember and her service is second to none.

So there you go, that's my cuntribution to this thread. Which will be summarily ignored.
Click to expand...

Not ignored at all. This is quality from someone who knows what they are talking about and that's all this thread is about.
Since you stopped selling on here I have been using Old Cobbler and very happy with the items.... That doesn't make me a shill for them just means I am passing on a good seller , the same as you are.


Cheers and thanks for the quality posted!

Think you should start a amazon thread mate. Then you can discuss them as much as you'd like! Which reading from this thread is a lot.

[MENTION=104720]keeperke[/MENTION], No need to start another thread this ones good for discussing ball scratchers, butt plugs, or any item. My point was Amazon sells a quality ball scratcher that comes in a nice box and has lots of good back.
[MENTION=42327]Raddave[/MENTION], some of these guys don't understand the purpose of the report button. Like the one who just got his ass banned for being a Fing idiot.

Also, bulk parm cheese is great and who doesn't need tongs?? Lol.

Attention all! Stop reporting spam and what you feel is disrespectful in this thread. We are all adults here. It's really obvious how some senior members feel about this topic. Note that and proceed to silence, another thread or hit ignore user, simples! (click user name, profile, add to ignore list.)

This is an internet forum with discussion of "fake goods for fake people." (Watch industry quote from years back.) It's not worth staff time to police every comment made in a topic nor follow up on 10 posts you report, finding fault in logic with that one person.

Agree to disagree, move on or clam it. Capisce?

With that in mind... My food experiment went well thus far. no glowing, no cancer. The beer tap I ordered was rubbish. Leaks like a 75 yo urethra. ;) You get what you pay for.

Let me know if you start glowing... I've had some down time in my lab, and would like to examine a sample of whatever it is that made you glow! Then, I can make everyone glow! Just like glowing cats..

I think that's a very big problem that many Ali buyers don't recognize. When you buy some rep electronic device it's made with the cheapest materials possible, with no concern for safety, and no recourse should things go wrong.

If that device you bought blows up, catch's fire, injures you or worse who are you going to sue for damages if you bought an fake branded product?? Use your Fing head if your even considering a rep electronic product and don't do it.

It's not even rep branded. It's Most cheap electronics. I'm not an electrical engineer... But I can bet most if not ALL of the cheap electronics are junk. But it's not just AE, even though this is an AE thread. It's a shame, and a safety hazard. I bought some star projector ceiling thing for my lab to zen out with some.. Uhh.. And peace and quite. But, when I received it I immediately threw it out. The resister was terribly cheap, soldered ends barely attached. Nothing inside the plug except wires coming from the wall.. Just overall I would be more afraid of burning the place down. I just took the star cover and put it on an electric candle for some flickering zen stars.. Bottle of whiskey, flickering stars in my lab (can't see them outside in Manhattan), and some other stuff, and I can finally relax . Highly recommend it! Lol

not the product from AE..
