Persols are great. But I'm too cheap to get a real one. Where can I find a knock off?

I'm also a Persol fan.

Why not check ebay, usually plenty of pairs on there.

In one of the other threads about Persols, I mentioned that I had seen a lot of Persol-inspired-looking shades at Macy's by Alfani and some other brands I can't remember. They were decent looking though not great quality, but much cheaper, around $50-60 retail. You might check that out.

You see some seeling pretty cheap on eBay. I recently bought a new pair of 649s for 50 bucks.

649 is great. How about something more specific? Any one seen any replicas on the 2720s? that should be an easy one, right?

I picked up a pair of persols off of ebay, they were the real deal, brand new and under $100.

New at a real place like frames direct I think they run $120 to $170 depending on if you get the polarized lenses, which you should if they are available. On ebay they can be cheaper, but who knows what you're going to get on there... people have gotten real ones but I personally wouldn't risk it.
