Why do people on ebay sell fake tamagotchis around the world wen they know that people can bye a real one wich is better it just doesnt make sence.

They want to make money! Why else?

Exactly! They want to make money. Imitation tamagotchis are far cheaper to buy than the genuine product therefore, the seller hopes that they can get the imitation product and pass it off as a the genuine thing and sell it for much, much more than it is worth and make a huge profit. Most people are smart and recognise the difference however, there are some that don't and that is how these people end up making their money. That's also the reason we have a warning section on TamaTalk

They want to trick people into buying a tamagotchi for alot of money when they payed less.

To add to my other post: People sometimes take genuine Tama's, open them up, and put in an old cruddy microchip in the circuit board. Why they do this, I do not know. Probably because they couldn't find anything better to do with the microchip. Then they put the new fake up on the market for way more than it's worth to make a profit off of it. It's a sick thing to do, ain't it? It's even worse when they make fakes from scratch. Those probably go for about $9 or $10 on eBay. Watch out.
