Indeed, and you could also sell the certificate without the bag, at a discount. For instance, you could buy the bag and certificate for $100, and sell the certificate for $50 to someone who wants it for a fake bag. In fact the only distinction a real and fake bag is that the maker was somehow peripherally involved in the supply chain for the real one, for instance ordering it from a manufacturer and having it drop shipped to a retailer. In fact I would want to unload my certificate before the proliferation of fakes lowered its value.
