Mary went into Milan Station in Tsimshatsui, a shop selling second-hand high-end merchandise for ladies. A sign was posted in front of a leather handbag

Mary went into Milan Station in Tsimshatsui, a shop selling second-hand high-end merchandise for ladies. A sign was posted in front of a leather handbag hand-written with "Gucsi - 1960 Limited Edition - the One and the Only One in Asia". Mary bought the handbag and received it with a simple receipt written down with "Gusci - 1960" and the price of "HK$160,000.00". Mary showed her new handbag to her friend, Fontane, in the following evening at the Lantau Hotel during a party who, told Mary that she had the same handbag as a gift from her boyfriend the other day. Both Mary and Fontane were very angry as their handbag were after all not so unique. Mary felt that she was cheated because she thought that, when not being "the One and the Only One in Asia", the bag could only have costed no more than HK$30,000.00.
