How can you determine whether or not a certain product is a counterfeit/pirated?

It's illegal to purchase such items in the US and in other nations, but how am I supposed to know if an item being sold to me is counterfeit or not?

    If the product is a target for counterfeiters many of the original manufacturers will instruct people on how to spot counterfeits. Many websites have information on how to spot them. Just search "how to spot counterfeit Rolex" in Google and you'll see how many information sites are listed.

    well if the price sounds to good to be true and is out of line with what the item normally costs, it's probably

    stolen or fake. if your buying from some guy in a parking lot instead of a store, it's probably a fake.
