What he ment: "I can't believe you actually brought this obvious Fake, who would sell name brand shoes for only 50% of the price" What he wrote: "Hehe"

He bought overpriced shoes - so he's a dumbass - and he got them from some rando instead of an actual store. I guess he never heard the term "buyer beware."

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I guess you're right. Amazon really should allow counterfeit goods because in all cases you are an idiot and it's your fault if you buy them /s

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He was buying overpriced shoes, you see. Every luxury that I don't want is stupid.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Well it only has one use and that's to be a shoe, the quality of which is perfectly available that doesn't cost 10 times as much because it's colorful or has somebody's name on it.

But it's fine I'm sure that the kids working in the sweatshops in India or China don't mind that they're only making pennies on the dollar for the product which is then subsequently enormously marked up in order to profit some rich asshole.

So yeah it's stupid because it's a shoe that costs too much.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just because I had two opinions in the same comment doesn't mean you should get the fleet the two. If you buy something without verifying its source you are stupid. If you buy overly expensive shoes you are stupid. See they're two different things. I'm just using this case as a chance to jab at the stupidity of buying the overpriced shoes while also jabbing at the stupidity of buying something without verifying it's authenticity. It's a two-for-one.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Other people spending money on shoes is not your business. If you want to be in favor of a scammer, that's on you. It's pretty shitty regardless.

I think the expression is "Caveat emptor", though it translates to "let the buyer beware".

Got my head straight to this short (sorry, it's Youtube): hehe
