    I wonder how many stared without protection, and how many were scammed with fake glasses.

      I’m going to lean more towards fake glasses (benefit of the doubt and what not)

      Fake products have been really popping off on Amazon for awhile now

          Some are stupid, absolutely

          But we can all easily be screwed over by fake products

          Shit I got a fake SanDisk SD card a few years ago from Amazon, only found out after the return period because of how long it took to fill. Now I only buy storage from local electronics stores (when I can) and even then I test them.

            It’s not all Amazon’s fault. Sometimes people buy a thing, then return it “unopened” because reasons, when, what they actually did, was remove the MacBook from the package and replaced it with a brick, then shipped it back to Amazon for a refund. Free MacBook.

            Amazon restocks it because it was “unopened” and ships a fucking brick in a MacBook box to someone for thousands of dollars.

            But yes, many, many, MANY, expensive products on Amazon are fake. Even not expensive ones too.
