Counterfit Goods = Crime

 

Therefore by tour own admission you are a criminal using counterfit goods.

 

"SIMPLES"

 

You can try and justify it any way you wan't but our industry doesn't need ill informed people like you

who think price justifys everything.

 

Firstly, for anyone starting out, they are not actually advertised as copies, so how does someone starting out know they are.

 

second, it is not against the law to buy them, it is against the law to then sell them on knowing they are counterfeit products. There is a guy selling a copy zed bull on ebay if anyone is interested, and also I know of a shop that sells them in the North West.

 

Third. Have you never copied a cd on your pc? played one in your car? ever watched a copied film? and I suppose you fit genuine ford (or whatever) parts to your car? answer yes to one of them, and you render your post pointless

WOW! Just read this topic. A lot of harsh comments, a lot of offensive remarks.

What a lot of hypocrites we are, do we all use genuine key blanks?.Never fitted a battery to fake Rolex?. Never watched a pirate video?

The list is endless."Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

I get the feeling chalky111 you just joined this forum to wind people up and to be fair

youre doing a damn fine job.

 

If you wish to use dodgy methods and counerfeit goods then thats your choice,Im sure the law states it is not illegal to own,

but illegal to use but as im not a lawyer i wouldn't like to stake my reputation on it.

 

And that is for me the overiding factor in anything i do or have done and that is my reputation,if you do every

job honestly and to the best of your abilities then no one can question your reputation.

 

For me that has to be the overiding factor of everything i do,and i take great pride in the work i produce,i know there

are better shoe repairers,key cutters and locksmiths out there, but my integrity is up there with the best of them.

you dont use copied key blanks then?

 

If you read the WHOLE thread, then you will see that someone who is thought very highly of on her first stated the fact that it is not against the law to buy them from china, it is against the law to then sell them on knowing they are fake. I am not breaking any laws. I do every job I do very well, I dont just do vehicles. Car keys is the smaller percentage of my business

 

I didnt come here to wind people up as you say, I came here asking for justification on high prices, and a couple of people have put very good cased forward, and even changed my way of thinking. But for you to come and comment without reading the whole thing isn't right really. If you have read the whole thing, then you are surely gonna comment on the guy who first mentioned the legalities of buying one?

 

 

Also, to "elfman" who wrote

"the only question i would ask chalky is

withyour cheap chinese copies do you provide your service at cheap chinese prices or do you charge top genuine prices if its the latter then you are what i would call a ripoff merchant"

 

I say the same to you.. read the whole post and you will have the answer to that question. I dont charge top prices, i make a fair mark up and labour charge. i dont HAVE to charge as much as you, as i've not laid out 12k for a programmer.

 

Read the whole thread!

Maybe i'ts time to put this thread to bed and not give chalky any more satisfaction.

 

It would be even better if this thread was completely deleted.

It serves very little purpose apart from advertising and maybe encouraging the odd member to buy a illegal copy. I say get rid of this thread in total. ?????????

I think it should carry on!

people can see for themselves what people are about!

carry on!

 

 

very well said.

 

Isnt a forum about having a discussion? read the meaning of the word..

 

If you all want to, and you agree to bury the thread, then who is throwing the towel in? not me. You silence a person who wants to put points forward and listen to any good point that come back (which I have done) that is what its all about isnt it?

 

childish comments are pointless. people who comment without having read the whole thread are pointless, because they are asking questions that have already been asked and answered aren't they?

 

Those who believe a thread should be deleted usually have had nothing decent to say on them, and want it deleted because they dont agree with something on it.

 

Only 3 people have put decent points across on this thread, and they have made a difference to the way i think. The rest of you are biggoted and wither not open to a point of view, or not intelligent enough to make a point of view (that is directed at one person)

 

Go ahead, delete it... I will seriously smile if you do so :)

 

(let the onslaught begin)

Why are you engraving then? No money in aircraft engineering???? :smt102

 

After 30 odd years doing the same job, would you not want a change of direction and be able to test yourself in a new disipline. Not withstanding that, the fact my job as an engraver/signmaker suits my physical disability perfectly.

However this is hijacking some elses thread and we should get back to the debate, my apologies.
