I was going to make a list, but it's so endless and constantly updating, it would be silly to aggregate. What else do you have? - just a few years ago you had to have a dvr, now You Tube has everything, even the nudie video you took of your GF you took in the 80's and thought you erased. Or the super8 - no not that super 8 the one with no sound and a projector 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing If you weren't shocked when they said eggs, you should cut this hobby and see a shrink. Moral relativism will only get you so far.

h2ored Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I wish they showed what the end result of the fake egg looked like. That's disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi717 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 If they can fake a watch to near perfection of details... This should answer your egg question. Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Love the vid on Luxury Watches. Pretty amazing that they are still hand crafted! Especially after watching how much automation is used making the Panerai's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 For what they charge they can afford the time. It's a nice life. In the country side banging out really small pieces of metal for hundreds of thousands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal.tbh Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Fantastic videos! Thanks for linking them. Like everyone else, I can't get over the eggs. Are real eggs so expensive that the fake egg market is that lucrative? Maybe eggs are harder to come by in other countries, but in the US the average price of a dozen eggs is around $2. That's $0.16 per egg. It seems like producing a fake egg would cost more than that. And even if it's cheaper, how much cheaper could it be? What really scared me was the fake condoms!!!

KB Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 It seems like producing a fake egg would cost more than that. Actually I think (if I remember correctly) the fake eggs saves about 2 or 3 cents an egg, that might not sound much but when you consider that a factory worker makes about $3 a day think of the profit if the same person spent all day making dozens of these eggs.

alterego Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 That video on The Fake Industry was an eye opener. The point is who is to blame for such business practice. The manufacturer or the consumer ? I see a tremendous difference between buying fake watch or shirt, which will do no real harm to anyone and being poisoned by fake medicines or food, The point is clear. Fake goods are out there beceuse they are cheap to produce and because there are millions who buy them because we cannot afford the real product. If the big brands wanted to shut down this industry they could do it overnight. But ... yes there is a but. It would hurt their business. Picture all the American and Europen companies taking back home their production plants. Thet would hurt their "esay way of making money" deeply. It's good to know (that's's the relativist side) that there is no trace of child labor in the watch industry ... or is there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big brands would shut down fakes if they could, and china would make fakes even if the production factories weren't over there. The real question is, what china will emerge. They majority of it's population live in squalor. They have the world by the financial balls. The have a huge pollution problem. Will the govt figure out a way to springboard this success to raise the country into a sustainable middle class? Or will they implode due to mis management. This chapter has yet to be written. I have heard convincing arguments both ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
