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.
