I am of the humble opinion that there are knockoff products on the markets representing anything and everything of value.

That's kinda the assumption I am under. If there is money to be made...someone is making it. I'm just curious if it's a "big" deal or just small fries compared to the CC thing.

This is true. And, I'm not so sure you need to look to the expensive items to find counterfeit goods. Look to the items that sell in high volume. That was the deal with the Swishers -- there are probably thousands of those sold for every Padron 80th. The margins are smaller, but the volume makes up the difference.
