Maven - I agree fake merchandise is a problem for those who make the real thing. For example its very hard to tell if designer purses are real or fake and I also think this lowers the demand if everyone has one. I wasn't advocating or looking for fake Pandora - just wanted some info if there are real ones on Ebay. I know some get duplicate charms as gifts, so possibly someone might sell for that reason. I'm looking for the real Pandora for a little less money. I wish the Pandora website would have specials or sales so people might not stray. The only sale they have once in a while is - spends $100 and get a free leather bracelet.
