It seems like no brand name products want to deal with online stores. What do you guys think about selling "designer imposters"? You know the type when you go to the mall and buy $100 perfume for $10.

Mike,

Good luck with that! I know there were big issues here in L.A. in the garment district when people attempted to sell replicated designer type items as actual designer items. I guess its all in how you put the product out there. If you label it as the actual product and its not...you run into patent infringement and fraudulant issues. However, if it is labeled as designer imposters...you might be ok?

Oh of course it wouldnt be sold as the real item. These products are currently sold in malls in LA as "compared to (name brand)" items. Similar styling, no brand logos. Maybe Ill create a second website so I dont tarnish my current products and give it a try. Or an e-bay store.
