For me it's not about counterfeiting as such (I haven't experienced any either). It's the simple fact that the majority of the time now I'm not buying from a single retailer that I have some level of trust in (Amazon). It's some hole-in-the-wall seller, with crappy pictures and no assurance that I'm going to get the product I actually ordered in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable shipping cost. (I rarely do 1-day shipping; I'm totally fine waiting a week or so, but I do want to know.) I have gotten wrong model/color a couple of times, which has never happened when buying directly from Amazon. Shopping on Amz has no value to me if they're just a shitty webstore search engine.
