1 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: So what you do. Listen, we can all make mistakes. 2 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: I've brushed with cancelation. I've had terrible things happen in business. 3 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: I've had terrible things happened in my personal life. I've 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: lived things publicly privately. I've made mistakes. I'm flawed to 5 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: air is human, to forgive his divine, I think I 6 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: think it goes um. So I had a situation where 7 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,319 Speaker 1: several years ago, I purchased a great looking bag that 8 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: was vintage in a store that sells new and vintage items, 9 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: and Paul bought it for me. It was three thousand 10 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: one dollars. It was Chanel Lego brick loose sight bag, 11 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: which are worth like ten thousand dollars now, and it 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: was it was a used vintage it's I think it's 13 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: vintage if it over a certain amount of years. So 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: it was a used vintage piece. And I was really 15 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,919 Speaker 1: excited about it. And it was impractical, and I found 16 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: out recently by too authenticators that the bag was not real. 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: It was a counterfeit bag. And I've reached out to 18 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: the proprietor and the people that worked with them first 19 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: told us their policy that they don't refund bags over 20 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: two years that were purchased more than two years ago. 21 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: So that was the initial response. In a bag that 22 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I think was purchased three years ago, I would have 23 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: had no way to know this happened once with a watch. 24 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Because if you like vintage pieces that aren't that don't exist, 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: now you're gonna take a risk. You have to use 26 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: a reputable authenticator and you could do a two step 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: authentication process if if you're really concerned. Because this thing 28 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: seemed seemed legitimate. So I found out that it wasn't real, 29 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: and the first response was, um, can you provide your receipt? 30 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: And we don't refund items for more than two years old, 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: So I got lit and providing the receipt. I remember 32 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: being in the store. The person who you know owns 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: the store remembers me being in the store. I mean, 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: they're not selling millions of bags. It's a very specific, 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: unique bag. So now I have to go hunt down 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: their seats. So now I go ask Paul to go 37 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: look at the old American Expresses. It takes twenty four 38 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: hours to find that I find. I'm able to find 39 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: the receipt and and I'm saying to the store, no, 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: the onus is on you. You go look it up. 41 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: They said they don't have receipts more than two years old. 42 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how that could happen in a business. 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: You have to know who's purchased your products for this 44 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: exact reason. And so then it became like a debate 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: back and forth, and there was a mention that the 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: proprietor said, you know, if you want to come get 47 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: another bag, you could come get another bag. I assumed 48 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: that this would mean they would refund my money in 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: full plus another bag, which is also scary because it's 50 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: the other bag fake. But I'd be in the clear 51 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: because I have my money back, and I just know 52 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: that if it were me and this happened to me, 53 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I would say to somebody, here's a brand new Channel 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: bag purchase at the store. You can return it, here's 55 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: a receipt, and here's your refund. I'd want to get 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: them off me right away. I wouldn't want them to 57 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: be talking about this. I would be very nervous, and 58 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: I had a personal conflict and dilemma moral and ethical 59 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: about whether to say the name of the store. And 60 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to mess with anyone's business. It's not 61 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: entirely a small business, but I don't want to mess 62 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: with anyone's business, and I also didn't want to be 63 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: in like the junk of this, but I wanted to 64 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: help people to understand that this could happen to them, 65 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: and to tell you that if you're going to play 66 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: games and not buy from a store because you want 67 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: something vintage and unique that you can't get currently, you 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: have to authenticate at least with one very trusted authenticator, 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: and you can't trust a retail store that something's going 70 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: to be real. And I've bought things on fashion File, 71 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: which is a great site, and one time they sold 72 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: me a bag that was not at the level and 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: they replaced it and gave me a new bag, which 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: was wonderful. Fashion File is respected, trusted, and has seems 75 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: to be fair and reasonable. Rebag is another company that 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: the difference between them and Fashion File is they sell 77 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: bags and they are a little more expensive. But on 78 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Rebag you can trade in your bags. You won't get 79 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: a great value on the trade in, I meaning you 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: can choose for them to give you money, which is 81 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: still not a great value on your bag, but you 82 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: can get the cash right away um or you can 83 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: choose to get I think it's fifteen percent more, but 84 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: in credit there. So you go find a couple of 85 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: bags in your closet that you don't like that much, 86 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: and you trade them in and you might be able 87 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: to add up to get a bag you do like. 88 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: So if you pick a bag that's an investment piece, 89 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: the three shitty bags you had, even at a bad trade, 90 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: you're entering into something that could be an investment piece. 91 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: And Chanel bags have gone up six since I bought 92 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: this back, so the increase in value has been six, 93 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: inflation has been four. So uh eBay is a marketplace 94 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: that's very different. That's a worldwide marketplace. They now authenticate 95 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 1: because they've gotten into trouble too, and prices are pretty 96 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 1: much similar to everywhere else. Real Real does not allow 97 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: you to return backs, so it's a little scary, like 98 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: you're in for what you're in for and the real 99 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: real and people have gotten paid very little for the 100 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: items they sell. The reason that the real Reel is 101 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: good is that your ship will sell fast. It will 102 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: sell at a cheap price. But if you don't want 103 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: to send it to a consignment store where you'll get 104 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: the best value, Real real it's like a chop shop. 105 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: You put you send your stuff to them, and it's 106 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: gonna get sold, and you're gonna get a small check. 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Consignment store. You're gonna have to keep up with it. 108 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: They may send it back to you. It's gonna take 109 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: a long time, and you'll get more money. I'm a 110 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: person if you, if you, if you want to get 111 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: rid of a bunch of ship, you'd probably do the 112 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: real reel. Um you know, I donate, I run the 113 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: whole gamut. But the real reel is and is the 114 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: wild wild West. You could send a bunch of ship 115 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: and it's gonna move, but you're gonna be disappointed with 116 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: the money you get, and you could buy stuff enter 117 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: at your own risk. I think now they're probably being 118 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: more cautious than ever. But you also can get the 119 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: best deal on something there. It's just a little bit 120 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: more of the wild wild West. So you could also 121 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: find something wildly overpriced. And that's why it's working this way. 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: The reason that the person selling is getting such a 123 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: shitty return is because sometimes the person buying is getting 124 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: a good deal, so it's a circular reference. You sell 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: something there, they give you a shitty check because they're 126 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: selling it for cheap, so the person buying it is 127 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: getting something for cheap, but they're entering at their own 128 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: risk because it might not be authentic. It's kind of 129 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: like a crapshoot. It's just like a fucking bingo game. 130 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: You might win, you might lose, you just don't know. 131 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: Back to the story at hand, this company wanted the 132 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: original receipts and then they want the authentification receipts. And 133 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: the problem is I knew that I a fake back 134 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: for many different reasons. I now was holding the control. 135 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't in the mood to go on a big 136 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: research product. So I went to go ask the authenticators 137 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: and I gave a price, and they wanted to get 138 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: the original receipts, and then they want my and I 139 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: finally I said to them, and they wanted to send. 140 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: They sent me a whole email of the whole SOB 141 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: story of their supplier and here's what I said. And 142 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: I don't know them, so I don't need I can't 143 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: do three page emails with a person whose business like 144 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: just fucked me, so and and and someone on Instagram 145 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: when I said should I blow them up or not? 146 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: Said go on Instagram and see if this has happened 147 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: to anybody else. And this has happened to other people. 148 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: So here's what I ended up saying. And it's me, 149 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: it's my name, it's not just my lawyer and my 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: business manager. And I didn't have to respond directly. But 151 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: I find that most people can't get the essence of 152 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. And there's a lesson here. 153 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: In business, you will make mistakes, you will have things 154 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: almost take you down. How do you handle it? You 155 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: handle things swiftly, You be transparent, You get ahead of it, 156 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: you resolve it by any means necessary. And it's gonna 157 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: sting a little. So what I wouldn't do is be 158 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: penny wise and nickeling and dining when I've been in 159 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: problems before. I wouldn't be asking for original to authentification receipts. 160 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be you know, I understand that they need 161 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: to know that I purchased it, but they already figured 162 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: that out. They know that I purchased it there, and 163 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: they know that they've been in this problem before. So 164 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: I was doing uh AN Awareness Day for Ukraine getting 165 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: these emails with this project, and my business managers like well, 166 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: they'll send you the check when they get this. They'll 167 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: send this after they get the too authentication original receipts. 168 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: They say authenticification cost twenty five dollars, when these higher 169 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: end authentic authenticators who found that it was fake are 170 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: way more expensive than the shitty ones at this place 171 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: says that they use. So here's when my fuse lit lit, 172 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: my fuse ran out. I said, I have lost patience. 173 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: I've lost my patience. Here's what's gonna go down. Number one, 174 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: you're going to self audit and you're going to go 175 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: back through every single person who's ever out a bag 176 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: from you, and you're going to tell them that, at 177 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: your cost, you will allow them to authenticate these bags, 178 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: because I want to protect these people. But more importantly 179 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: is me to tell everyone, if you've bought something on 180 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: the secondary market, you must have it authenticated by somebody trusted. 181 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: So I said to them, I want to know that 182 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: you've gone back, because it's not a million bags, it's 183 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: a couple of hundred bags that you've gone back, and 184 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: you've gone down every rabbit hole with every person that's 185 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: ever bought a luxury bag, and you've found out that 186 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: they are a hundred percent authentic and that they have 187 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: the opportunity to come back and authenticate them at your cost. 188 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: And I said that now I'm much sure that that 189 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: will happen, but they gave me some assurances that it would. 190 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: Then I said, after getting tedious and going back and 191 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: forth and multiple emails, I said, take me off this chain. 192 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to be part of this correspondence anymore. 193 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: Here's what I want. I want my full refund. I 194 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: want the authentication money paid directly. I want the increase 195 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: in value of a bag of s else someone on 196 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: Instagram give me this idea to Chanel bag has gone 197 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: up six Had I bought a real bag, it would 198 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: be up sixt. I want that increase, and I want 199 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: the inflation and the tax. It's totally fair and reasonable, 200 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: and that's what I want. Go with God. I did 201 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: not mention the name of the retail because I just 202 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: don't think that's going to help at this point. But 203 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: I got My point is they didn't handle this like 204 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: again sue knife Sicilian style, immediately directly place of yes, 205 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: oh my god, we are sorry. What do you want, Yes, 206 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: we will refund your money and any other inconvenience costs 207 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: that you've had, and what are they now? They are 208 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: in a little bit. Now it's a little messier for 209 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: them because they got entangled and they got small picture 210 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: and they got tangled up in the weeds. So now 211 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: it's getting resolved, but in the way that I dictated 212 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: that it has to get resolved, because when you've been fucked, 213 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be inconvenienced when someone makes a drastic mistake 214 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: in business. When you make a drastic mistake in business, 215 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: you swiftly, immediately, cleanly, and surgically resolving. You figure out 216 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: what the damages are, what the person wants, how to 217 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: keep this quiet, lean, and get out as fast as 218 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: you got into this entanglement. That's what you do. What 219 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: you don't do is start asking a million questions and 220 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: making the person that has been wronged feel like they 221 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: have to prove to you five different ways how they've 222 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: been wronged, exactly like I don't know it to you. 223 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: You know what the black and white of this is 224 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: fake bag, real bag. You sold me four years ago. 225 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: Now you're getting me mad. Now I gotta go down 226 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: rabbit holes and give you specifics. Didn't ask for anything, 227 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: crazy I just said I want exactly what I'm entitled 228 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: to nothing more. So that pissed me off. They're saying 229 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: authenticators are people that authenticated are saying it's several hundred 230 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: dollars to have it properly done. I don't know, I 231 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: don't care. I don't want a research project. I don't 232 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: want to be in the fake bag project. But I'm 233 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: gonna say that I'm gonna listen to the people that 234 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: I enticated the bag and not the chop shop you've 235 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: got going on, because we landed ourselves as a person 236 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: was a fake bag. Furthermore, I don't judge people who 237 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: are buying fake bags short of practices that I don't understand. 238 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: But I don't understand every sweater on my back and 239 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: how it's been made either, Because if every lip gloss sweater, 240 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: Cereal olive oil, floor tile throw pillow I had to research, 241 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you I'd be disappointed. And people 242 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: are doing things wrong. It's up to proprietors to do 243 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: things right. I can't police everybody, So if you buy 244 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: a fake bag, I can't be judgmental and holier than 245 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: now on that one thing, anymore than I can be 246 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: judgmental on you for eating meat when I wear leather 247 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: like there's no I cannot do that. I don't live there, 248 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: so I don't say to you, don't buy something fake. 249 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you buy something fake, it doesn't 250 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: go up in value. It's not an investment, and your 251 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: smartest decision is to buy fewer items directly from a 252 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: retailer because they are investment pieces. You choose to buy 253 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: fake and then throw a bag in the river after, 254 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: that's your own business. You choose to buy fake and 255 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: you go to Canal Street and it's seventy five dollars 256 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: and you know you're getting seventy five dollar fake bag. 257 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: Go with God. You buy a thirty bag plus tax 258 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: and a boogie boutique. You better fucking trust and believe 259 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm coming for you if that thing is fake. I 260 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: bought it and it's fake and it's embarrassing, and I 261 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: don't want other people going through that. So you buy 262 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: in the secondary market and cross your teas and you 263 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: dotch your eyes. You buy fake, it's your own god'sdamn business. 264 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't work for Channel and it's not my business. 265 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: And I've owned fake bags just like the rest of you. 266 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: I've been broke where I can't afford my rent and 267 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: I bought fake bags. I've been to Canal Street. I've 268 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: done it all. I don't believe it's a good investor, 269 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: but I'm not standing on a soapbox and that's a rant.
