I've bought hundreds of products from Amazon and have not experienced one counterfeit good. I even bought a 60 inch 4k $1,000 tv and a $300 foam mattress that would have probably cost $3,000 if I bought it from a traditional retailer and they are both amazing. Add on the fact that I can buy everything from home and don't have to walk/drive to a store and prices are really good, I buy pretty much everything I can from Amazon.
The only products that I have bought from Amazon which have been relatively crappy quality are cords but I paid 1/10th the price for multiple variable length ones effectively saving me 95% of money (1/10th the price * 3 cords) plus I get spares to leave around the house. The overall cost of replacing even an entire set of bad ones has been blindingly obvious in favor of the cheap ones.
Granted, I only tend to buy things that are highly rated by Amazon which almost always have prime shipping but I don't see where this counterfeit goods destroying the market sentiment comes form?
Are you just buying the cheapest goods despite the ratings/sales reputation causing you to be scammed?
