Subject: RE: BS: Pitfalls in buying a genuine fake
A friend of mine is a tour guide in New York City and can't get over the regular request by out of town visitors to go down to the streets in Chinatown (Canal Street, for one) where they can buy the knockoff Dooney and Burke bags and the Rolex watches, among other things.
There was a charming film with Edmund Gwenn and Burt Lancaster called Mr. 880 about a man who forged 1 dollar bills with Washington misspelled (or some other such conspicuous flaw).
