SD cards from fake markets are generally NO NO. XD, ProDuo and MicroSD are usually fine. Get them to prove it works before purchase.

DVDs in fake markets *always* suck.

Fake market DVD9 is usually crappy VCD. Don't buy DVDs from the fake market. Actual shops or street stands that stay in the same place usually are the best places, since they have a reputation to uphold. They usually offer returns if the movie was crap, too. Or if the subtitles sucked, or in some cases even if you didn't like the movie.

DVD nine has a going rate of 7-9 in my case. VCD is a standard 5 for street stands, although some shops charge 7.

Cufflinks: RMB80 for two pairs

The stall owner quoted RMB120 for one pair to start with.

"Nike" "fit dry" short sleeves T-shirt: RMB50!

She quoted RMB980 (Even a REAL Nike drifit is under 300?!)!!!!! Then kept cutting the price in half whilst I kept shaking my head. Her "final" "serious" price was RMB180. It became 50 when I was walking away. But now I know I could have got it at 25! Smarter next time!

Anyone tried to buy "fake" but ok-quality bedsheet and pillowcase? how much should I expect?

Whats the quality like on the mens polo shirts? Will the last a while or am I better off going to Uniqlo or H&M or something like that?

Also, do they have shirts without brand names on them? I just want some polo shirts for the summer but don't want any labels (fake or real) on them.

Typically they all have names in that market...

You can get them cheaper and without brand names in some Chinese markets, as low as 15 for the thin ones.

But in the fake market... well, it is a fake market.

That's what we refer to when we say the S&T market.

Righto, last night I picked up one large and medium Gucci bag, the brown patterned fabric kind with leather handles, and good quality lining for RMB 265 total. This was after much rending of garments, clutching of throats with a fake tears climax thrown in for good measure.

All of this action can be had at store D3-03. These were the best quality we saw on our visit.

Is it just me, or is it getting harder and harder to bargain at this market. I first went to the market in 2007 and I could easily buy leather Feragamo bags for RMB 90 - 100, sure I had to bargain, but it was never the Operatic Tragedy it has become of late.

Not complaining, I love bargaining, as I get to practice my Chinese.....but my poor old parents were left worse for wear.

Have any of you recently bought a fake Longchamp collapsable bag. I want to grab one to chuck in my suitcase for business trips where I come back with more than I left with.

I have decided it will make me look like a bit of a girlie-man, but it is much better than looking like a refugee with a whole bunch of striped bags.

So can someone give us all a report on a price for fake longchamp bags?

Best place for watches is shops near Yu Yuan. Last bought watches at an average price of 50 Yuan and that had 4 Breitling watches in that.

I bought one today for 50 rmb - big size. Might have gotten it cheaper - didn't have to work hard! Smile

Ladies Coach handbags - the good quality ones which are not displayed on the shelf - you have to ask to see them in a hidden room or they are all in the luggage bags that are on the floor. The ones which are on display shelves are very low quality. Going price for the high grade Coach handbags RMB180 for medium 10" x 10" to 16" x 12".

If you're talking about the street market behind Jiu Guang, its already closed as of 28 May 2008. Any other suggestions on where to go for watches? Am freaked about going to one of those touristy S&T or nanjing Xi Lu markets
