Is there much of a market for high-end authentica luxury goods where the buyers don't have an in-person experience? I was under the impression that part of the reason for luxury goods, beyond signaling after the purchase, was the shopping experience itself.

- lnanek2 10y agoMy wife is Chinese and has intentionally bought replicas (knowingly ahead of time and even choosing the quality level) online before for shoes and jackets. If she sees a nice Chloe jacket for thousands and wants something that looks like it, she knows she can go buy a replica and wear something that looks just like it. There's some clueless people on the internet who get knowingly defrauded, but a lot of this is just preventing the sale even from two parties who know all the details. E.g. like preventing someone from selling DVD movies copied to obvious blanks.
