Shopping in a Fake Market in CHINA 🇨🇳 (GHOST TOWN?)

This is an infamous market for buying designer replicas in Shanghai, and it used to be super busy, I hear. While it's not as busy as before, it's still got some good stuff and good deals. I'm not the best at bargaining but I am getting better. Let me know what you think of the prices.

    In fact we Chinese people don't go to these fake markets anymore. We use Taobao or pdd to shop online instead cause the bargain is really a waste of time and annoying.e.g. for the first jersey he gave a price at 300yuan, after a long bargain u bought it with 120 yuan.I searched it on taobao the price is about 50 yuan. Decades before we had no choice but to shop at these market, now these stores are hard to survive so they tried to sell at a higher price to those don't shop online, and fewer people will go shopping there,it's a vicious circle.

    The reason you can see that the quality of these "fakes" is very good is because they are not fakes in a sense. Many big western brands asked Chinese factories to do processing, so those Chinese factories have formal production processes and assembly lines. These fakes may be exactly the same as the originals, the only difference is that they are not officially authorized, because they may be secretly produced, or these factories continue to produce when those companies leave.

    In fact, online shopping in China can get lower prices than this because online stores save the cost of renting a store. In addition, the competition among online stores is more intense, and you can get the lowest price without bargaining.

    The reason Chinese merchants are successful is they will go down in price to even a penny's profit whereas western merchants want 2000%-8000% profits ! A penny profit is a penny more then before ! I remember when we were buying HDMI and USB cables from China, the manufacturer asked for $0.17cad for a 3ft cable and our Canadian buyers were haggling them for $0.12cad for 100,000 quantities. The same HDMI cables were sold at Best Buy and Future Shop for $79.99cad, this is the reason why none of Biden's tariffs and sanctions will ever work because western businessmen want easy and large profits for doing nothing !

    As a Chinese, I want to provide some information to help tourists - most of the people who come here to shop are foreigners, and the prices here are relatively expensive compared to other places China. But the good things is that many shop owners can speak English, shopping here you should compare the price of your own country just like this guy. Cause even if its a little expensive for China, the overall price in China will be lower than in some countries. You can enjoy bargaining here, cut the price in half!!!

    It's interesting, in fact, many fake factories are production lines for real brands, so there is not much difference in quality, more fake goods in China in the past, these years the industry has upgraded, the mainstream is already the original brand, such a market has been very few. But it's really interesting to visit places like this as a foreigner.

    About shopping in China, the products can be classified into two types. For name-brand products, it's easier to buy false ones in online shops than physics shops. For domestic-brand counterparts, it's convenient to buy them online. However, to maintain the physical shops, some companies will only sell some parts of products in physical shops. These products have better quality and more expensive prices because of the cost of rental of shop and utility fees. Those shops you saw might also sell products online. Before the coming of online shops, we also buy false-brand products like you. Nowadays, we get more famous domestic brand products which also have good quality. It's challenging to judge whether online shopping is better or not. It just depends on your budget and needs.
