Fake, counterfeit clothing

[woolywoolenwools]

I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times and I did do a search for my answer but found a lot of chit chat, differences of opinions and nothing that really answered my question.  Unless I'm a total imbecile and just don't understand anything when I read it, I can't understand whether I can or cannot. ?:|  -- anyway...

A friend went to England a few months back and gifted us some t-shirts with famous logo pictures on them.  The tag also states the famous logo name, but underneath it has a small tag that says 'Made in XXX' (an Asian country).  Unfortunately we didn't have the heart to tell our friend that 1) the colours weren't very nice and 2) they are too big for us.  But Bless his little cotton socks anyway....:-x

Not that it makes it right or it would change the fact..... but they look very well made.

All I'd like to know is, are they classified as complete fakes and / or counterfeits, and does that indeed mean I cannot sell them on eBay? 

Thanks for you time.

Opinion of posters here is split. So will your buyers be. It only takes one buyer to have this perception, rightly or wrongly, and you have a neg with a fake claim, and you are stuck with it.

Facts are a second cousin to perception when it comes to sales and marketing.

Reckon lane-ends has hit the nail on the head.

Perception is everything !! 

If you have a doubt, IMO bin it, its what I do.  Its not fair to buyers if a seller can not stand by the stock they sell.
