S&T is pretty large IMO, did you walk around both sides of the subway station?
I think QiPu Lu is large but I can't understand why anybody would wnat to go to that hell hole. Every store sells almost identical merchandise though, so I don't see why you'd need more than 3 stores anyways |

S&T, yes, but at QiPu there is actually more of a selection...
However, all of the stuff you find in these markets are going to be pretty poor. Rarely will you find any of the high grade stuff. |

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 |
Qipu road, parallel to Nanjing East Road. Have fun. |

| Post subject: Fake market prices |
Did a little shopping for some friends back home and here are the prices that i received.
mens & ladies walets-20 rmb
mens belts - 20 rmb
Sports Jerseys - 100-120 rmb
pearl necklace low quality - 10 - 20 rmb for small ones
ladies shoes - 30 rmb
men's Ties - 7.5 rmb
designer sunglasses - 13 rmb
Ladies Gucci & Prada bags medium size - 75 rmb
mens assorted bags (addidas, puma, etc) - 40 rmb
I recommend the hong mei lu market, you don't get attacked as much and its clean and just a nice place to visit. Of course I spent a lot of time bargaining these prices and bought most of them in multiples of 5 so that will always affect the price, my suggestion is when they ask how many you want to start bargaining with 1 unit, then once you have a reasonable price you can cut it down a little more by purchasing multiples |

Hong Mei Road in one block away from Gubei Carrefour. You can tell the taxi to take you to Hong Mei Lu, Yan'an Lu. There are also some decent restaurants there. |

You can find faked products of good &bad quality in Hongmei Lu, Qi Pu Lu is more of a place for local ppl while Hong Mei lu is more for foreigner, it's kinda another xiangyang lu.

Science and Technology Museum (subway station). Also the one on Nanjing road is geared pretty much toward foreigners. Qipu is the only one I've been to and not seen a lot (or any) foreigners. |

You mean the underground market at the science and technology stop?
S&T means Science&Technology?
I passed there once, but didn't look around, is it good? |

I don't know much about them, either.
It seems that these expats here in Shanghai are more professional in bargaining and exploring such places. 
I will explore the S&T market soon.
you can find the address of the fake market in the last few posts.  |

Yes, there is a bottom. What that bottom is depends on what market you shop in. |

silver tiffany's cufflinks are one of my favorites- 35rmb (compared to what some of you guys are getting i'll try harder next time).
Have had some for 18 months now and the silver (presumably a thin coating) still polishes up nicely. |
