Football Kits

That is why they sell them in the first place, to make fuckin money, and you think you are a clever fucker as well. No money, no produce!

Aren't you charming.

Would you rather sell 100 at $90 or 10 at $100 with everyone else buying knock-offs?

This, I'm involved directly to sourcing products direct from Factory, RRP is OTT on clothing/boots etc, next moment you see the same genuine lines on sales 50+% lower.....

Sale price is always a good indicator of what something is really worth.
If you ever see a store have a "40% off sale", then they have a "take an additional 30% off" on top of that, you can be almost certain that their product is pretty low quality. Still might be worth buying on sale, but definitely not worth buying at RRP.
Obviously sometimes stores will drop a price below cost just to move it out of their warehouse, but more often than not there is always a profit, even if it's a small one.

What I find amazing about kits from official stores, like Rebel, is when new kits come out old ones very rarely go on sale. Usually they just disappear. Occasionally you'll see some in an outlet store but presumably most must be going into landfill. Multiply that by every other piece of clothing that is shitload of waste.

And when brands (or in this case club jersey designers) start losing their share of the market to knock offs there is less and less incentive to actually come up with new designs. Everything will get dumbed down.

There is also the argument to be made that the people buying cheap knock-offs would have never paid for the genuine item anyway, so is the company actually losing any share? No matter how cheap the genuine item is, there will always be a cheaper knock-off. Perfect example is the most sold wristwatch of all time, the Casio F91-W. You can buy one brand new for AU$28 (sometimes closer to AU$20). You can also buy a fake one for AU$13.

Fair point I suppose... Value is always in the eye of the consumer and the market will bear what the market will bear.

Some people on here with retail experience would know it but the apparent lack on inventory management is baffling.

I think we all went into a store in the 90s and there was this constant one model of a device sitting in a damaged cardboard package on a shelf for years. Stores with the same clothing items collecting dust for months.
