You know, original items are of good-quality and will last you a lifetime if taken good care. It also helps in the progress of your country's economy since original items are from legitimate companies that pay taxes which the government may then use to establish certain projects for the development of the country. But there are people who actually patronize imitation items to actually save big bucks rather than buying products that costs but pays you back for its long-term service. What do you buy, original or imitation products?

if you are going to buy something expensive,better buy the original.original items have good quality and can last a long time.it can save you more money in the long run.if you buy imitation,it will break down after some time and you have to have it fixed.if you buy original,it can last for a long time.

Yeah. That is true. We certainly have the same thoughts. Anyway, I don't really have the heart for imitation items maybe because I believe that "fake items" are "degraded items of value". I mean, these fake items lessen almost everything in every single aspect that there is to be considered towards the country, the designer and the patronizers out there. Thank you very much for your response. Have a nice day!

Yeah, that is true. That is the main reason why I DON'T consider buying imitation items - it breaks easily, I wouldn't get the value of my money and it is not going to help me and my country either! Thank you very much for your response =)

Hi there! I go for the original products. They are of better quality, longer lifespan, and worth our money. No matter how pricey it is.

Yeah, that is very much true. That is the main reason why I DON'T consider buying imitation products. Original products could go pricey but I believe that it'll pay you twice the value of your money for its service. Plus, in buying original products, we get to help in the progress of a certain company and our country itself who receives taxes from legitimate companies that sell original products. Thank you for your response =)
