People posting fake items for sale in place of real items.

A store (buy-n-cell) was trying to pass a fake apple magsafe charger as a real one. Now I know that Apple products are very popular and fake accessories are common but at least the people buying them know they are fake and accept that.
In this case however, the store buyNcell is trying to pass of the fake as genuine, which means people are going to get scammed. In the thread, the big box retailers that accepted the pricematch lost a lot of money because they sold their apple chargers for $30 instead of $100.
There should be a rule, not against posting fake items, because that is hard to enforce, but there should be a rule so that you cannot post a fake item and pass it off as real. I think what buy-n-cell is doing is very unethical and they are deceiving their customers who thought they are getting a genuine charger when it has been proven it is a fake by many users in the thread.
