LIVESTR0NG, wristbands Options

[BEBEx_iNFAM0USS]

there might already be a topic om this, but i wanna know: how do you tell the difference between a fake & real bracelet? because some ppl are selling fake ones \

when i say fake, i mean that NO MONEY whatsoever goes to cancer research. isn't that terrible?

[PurchasedRebelli...]

You can't.

Which is why you should just buy 'em from the site or from Nike stores.

[Saeglopur]

I got one because I inherited it from my friend, which she bought at a Nike store.

I think there's a 'Made in China' thing in the inside.

I know because I have a fake one and a real one. (The fake one I got for free.)

moved to the lounge.

So, do you mean that the fake one have Made in China or the real one have Made in China?

[Nicolatofu]

that's horrible that people would do that!
i don't know how you would tell, but i always wanted one, but now i'm afraid i'll end up getting scammed into a fake one!

[DaTru KataLYST]

the real ones say made in china

not sure bout fake ones


I got mine at discovery channel. real ones! =]

[comeupon]

All of you better know someone with cancer or im coming over there and taking your bracelets! Personally I lie my "Brakes for Brett" one a lot more

[Yemmerz]

The real ones you get at shoe stores and the Discovery Channel store.

The fake ones don't say LiveStrong...but do say Made in China

[mirage]

the real ones say made in china

not sure bout fake ones

oh, cool, my says made in china =)

[aznbabiicutie]

mine says made in china. x].

[mirage]

The fake ones don't say LiveStrong...but do say Made in China

i think the fake ones do say livestrong... if it doesn't, what's the point of the fake ones?

[mai_z]

The fake ones probably do say livestrong...bgut that's horrible, the whole point is to support cancer. And it's not like they're expensive, authorized dealers are only allowed to sell them for no more than 1 USD

[miss barnes]

if i was to buy one, it would be from like footlocker or other places in the mall

[*mona lisa*]

i think the fake ones do say livestrong, just in a distorted way probably so most people wont notice it and the real ones are $1, the fake ones are $3.

[imafreakinazn]

well...
a real one says "LIVESTRONG" on it.
a fake one.....doesn't!
=]
simple as pie.

[mirage]

well...
a real one says "LIVESTRONG" on it.
a fake one.....doesn't!

simple as pie.

OF COURSE it says livestrong on the fake one, what's the point of making a fake one and ripping us off if it's so obvious?

[RandomHero]

I don't know..I didn't buy one

[Just_Dream]

... Wait.. there's fake ones? It doesn't relaly matter, does it? Aren't the real ones inexpensive anyways? It's funny.. I never realized that people at my school actually wore them. And the last week before winter break, I noticed some people wearing them. They don't really look that great, but hey, it's supporting a good cause, isn't it?

I still think there's no point in getting fake ones since the real ones are inexpensive.

[beambitious]

i got 1 from ebay but its real because the real ones are brite yellow and the fake ones are kind of dark

[laylooo]

i ordered mine from the website

[blondebabe_1107]

Ya I was at the mall and like every store said they were on backorder. But they were selling em at my school before Christmas break, of course I didn't hear this until after lunch

[xSqueekyMexicanx]

i got mine form the discovery store

[silver-rain]

eh, i don't know- i got mine from my friend, who got it from another friend. hah.

[*krnxswat*]

All of you better know someone with cancer or im coming over there and taking your bracelets!

Uh, do we need to personally know someone that has cancer in order to wear this bracelet? No, we do not. We can just wear it for the support of the research.

[*Azarel*]

^ Agreed. Wow, comeupon, just wow. -_-

[Chaos13]

yes what he said. the wristbands are for supporting cancer. with the money they might be able to find a cure. maybe. so go buy them to show your support!

for a reason the fad of wearing them is fading slowly in my area. not sure about others.

[jaeman]

I don't have a livestrone bracelet yet.

[toodlepops.]

i've always wanted one. those people who sell fake braceletes, hmph!

[Chaos13]

how much do they sell the fake ones? i think that the real ones are $1 right?
well thats how much i bought it for.

[BEBEx_iNFAM0USS]

i went to this gift shop and saw a sign that said, NOT AUTHENTIC. it was $2. can u believe that? its fake, doesnt support cancer research AND is overpriced? wth?.

[sweetest-emotion]

ARG i hate the fake sellers! the arrogance! and the selfishness! grrmama. well i have a real livestrong from build-a-bear. i also have a dan synder bracelet. he was a chicgao wolves hockey player who died at the age 25 in a car crash. the wolves have a foundation for him now, and so its also for a good cause. i'v seen the pink breast cancer ones and the american eagle ones too. i say hey if its for a good cause, then by all means. i hate when ppl complain about it being a "trend". its not, and teenagers for the first time are donating thier own money for a good cause. i say bravo. keep it up.

[Euphoria Rose]

Mine is real, I think. My cousins gave them to me and my sisters for Christmas and they got them at Build-a-Bear.

[angel-roh]

how much are the real ones??

i dont know their cost of it. but who cares if they are fake?

[sykopathicgurl]

i thought that the packaging looked different? because the fake ones say livestrong but they plastic bags they put in dont look real at all?
maybe that was the only fake one i saw.. it was pretty lame..
and i think the fake ones are strechier than the real ones?
maybe?

[Angel_Cece]

I got one because I inherited it from my friend, which she bought at a Nike store.

I think there's a 'Made in China' thing in the inside.

moved to the lounge.

yah

[mouse_3k]

I got one and I got it at NikeTown in NYC (Just came back from NYC) sooo yah..they had their own box at the cashier so I think it was real

[chongalicious]

Terrible people dying and all they care about is making money
!
anyways hope they get what they deserve

[sporadic]

All of you better know someone with cancer or im coming over there and taking your bracelets! Personally I lie my "Brakes for Brett" one a lot more

If no one contributed because they don't know anyone with cancer... then that would be very cruel and selfish. And not a whole lot of cancer research would be funded. Hm. So you're saying we should let people die because we don't know them?

[lovescream]

The real one are not stretchy. The fake ones are stretchy. You can stretch'em without breaking them. I just got a real one today =D at http://www.laf.org <-- sorry if that's advertising. and i got a fake breast cancer one from a friend. and the fake ones dont have "Made in china" inside of them as the real ones do.

i just got one today =D

[smrkangl]

if you get them from eBay...the money doesn't go into the research.

[juliar]

The real one has made in china. but sometimes the fake ones might even have it, but the rubber isn't as resilient as the real ones.

[sweetxsimplicity]

They're all probably real, it's just that the profits don't go to the Cancer Research Center, so it really depends where you buy it from.

[jr0h]

i still dont have one...

just buy it at the right place

[lovescream]

good point. i think you should try his website. =\
umm.. some people can buy'em themselves then illeaglly [sp?] sell them as the real ones and keep the money for themselves.

[bad_girl]

dont kno.. never seen one.

[xTINAA]

well i didn't know people sold fake ones. i do however, know of someone who bought them in bulk online and then sold them to people for more and kept the extra profit for himself.
