BAPE is a print brand, so the rep question is entirely about the print. Get the camo and the ape head right and the piece works; get them slightly wrong and it looks like a different product.
The pieces that come up most often: Shark Hoodie, camo hoodies and tees, BAPE STA sneakers, plus caps.
The Shark Hoodie is the benchmark piece and quality varies enormously. Look at the shark mouth zipper, the face panel alignment and the WGM embroidery. Cheaper batches get the camo colours subtly wrong, which is visible next to a retail photo.
Ask for a straight-on photo of the shark face panel and a close-up of the camo edge. Uneven colour transitions in the camo are the most common flaw.

The good batches are. Check the shark mouth zipper, the face panel alignment and the camo colour transitions.
