  Re: Way to make another ill-educated opinion, BestNetTech

  "WHY would a high-profile company like NewEgg knowingly guarantee damage to their good reputation by shipping out fake product?"
  
  I think the somewhat obvious answer is this: They didn't know it was fake.
  
  A company this large cannot afford to be involved in a scam of this nature, it would damage their image beyond repair, and they would lose far more customers - and so more money - than the scam could compensate for.
  
  What is most likely is some individuals at stock or factory level swapped out some legitimate products for their fakes, and then proceeded to sell the stolen goods through other channels.
