That stuffs pretty confusing and messy (old outdated stuff from when he started), I contact him via kik and he honestly tells me which of his reps are the best quality.
I've bought both Damier Ebene and Azur belts from him, when I've visited LV store theyve been passed as authentic.
He only ships to the USA as his stocks in the USA, importing from China at the rate that he sells is impossible due to customs and all that's involved in seizing replica items.
I don't think you know how the rep game works. There is no such thing as a 1:1 rep. How can you produce 100% the same of everything at 1/10 the price? Even if your vendor has a sweatshop. He may not pay his workers much but he still has to pay them. You say that your vendor has a sweatshop in CONUS. Mass producing and selling reps is highly illegal in the USA. Huge chance of him getting caught and go to prison. Why not produce it in China and export it to wherever. Your vendor is spouting lies and you just believe every words of it.
If I am in organized crime and can produce 1:1 rep, why would I go retail? Why not wholesale? There are plenty of grey market dealers out there. Why not sell it to them and claim the product is legit? Who is going to know? If retail, why not create a legitimate website and claim that my product is real? Why not even ebay?
Also, what do you mean by "
passed as authentic"? There is a difference between carrying a rep to an AD shop and requesting an AD representative authenticate the product for you. A HUGE difference. An AD representative might recognize a replica product in the shop but is too polite and well trained to say anything.
Spend time and do some reading and research on this forum and you'll eventually discover the truth. You've been believing in an idiotic lie all this time.
