| Post subject: best place for quality replica's? |
Anyone know a place aside from the science and technology center to buy really good quality imitation watches and clothing particularly branded Men's Shirts / Polo's / Longsleeves (overruns or imitation)?
A few workmates from home are flying in next week and they've been to the Xiang Yang market already before it closed down and wanted to see where the good vendors went off to. |

there are a lot of stores who sell branded jeans with overruns along changle lu and julu lu. you just got to be patient and shop like a real lady if you really need to find one. Also you can try 580 Nanjing lu but the choices are very limited. For watch and bags, try to walk near Parkson in Huaihai lu corner Shaanxi lu and some local vendors will ask you like this, "hello lady/friend, watch, bags? look-a-look!" Good luck... |

Are you guys naive to believe is "overruns" ? The fakes has NOTHING to do with originals except the logo. Material is inferior low quality (you will see after few washings). You can buy same for half price and stick the logo there by yourselves.
I thought there is no sucker who buys from those "DVD/Watch/Bag" scum on the streets, I was probably wrong. Well there is born one every minute or so... |

1.
You misinform people. There are NO overruns, its just myth/urban legend/lie so suckers will buy the SHlT
2.
To suggest someone to make business with those "Watch/DVDBag" scum is NOT friendly, I would suggest this only to my enemy |

i am not misinforming nor misleading people. i am just making a friendly contribution. and i am answering a person who is interested. you are taking this very far and very seriously. this forum can be fun if you can just put your shoes on others sometimes. people have different ideas, i know some can respect this and i know others won't. hope you can belong to the first group sometimes. this thread is not created only for you. so to react in that manner that is a baseless and a nonsense thing to do is just like a kid wanting a balloon.
i am not suggesting a person to buy. from my previous post i didn't even type the word "buy" or anything synonymous to the word...
the topic is "best place for replicas" not "buy a replica!"
i suggest before you make a post, try to analyze first if this topic is really for you or you just want to be recognized for your nonsense arguments.
i didn't know that you can make your enemy suffer or make a revenge by suggesting him/her to buy fake "Watch/DVDBag".
Enemy: ouch, you hurt me a lot by asking me to buy those "Watch/DVDBag". "My life is worthless now!

I insist I am the only person giving here friendly meant answer - do not buy that SHlT, its not worth it. Period.
Its same like someone would ask here: "Someone can tell me how to make suicide" and I am saying "Hey do not kill yourselves" and you are saying "Well, You can jump from JinMao, eat a lot of sleeping pills or cut your artery". And than argue with me you are giving friendly answer. |

well talking about senselss answers. this thread is really informative, now i know that "Watch/DVDBag" can also mean "suicide". hahaha.
this is what you think, but as i have said the one who created the topic is interested. he is asking for "best place for replicas" which is related to "where". not "what do you think about replicas". if that is the question, you can bark anytime you like, i would understand because the topic suggested you to. but wake up, it is not!
he's alive! einstein have risen from the dead!
Enemy: "you make me feel like i'm jumping from JinMao, eat a lot of sleeping pills and cut my main artery by telling me where i can buy replicas". wow, this make sense to me now! thanks einstein...
 cheers! |

Let me go back to your answers:
there are a lot of stores who sell branded jeans with overruns
Not true, there does not exist any overruns, "overruns" is just myth for suckers
try to walk near Parkson in Huaihai lu corner Shaanxi lu and some local vendors will ask you like this, "hello lady/friend, watch, bags? look-a-look!"
You advice people here to seek one of the Shanghais biggest scum, get cheated, overpriced, maybe even robbed.
Now you definitely are NOT an Einstein fo sho... |

Now you definitely are NOT an Einstein... let me explain that i am scolding someone here who happens to know everything about overruns. this does not mean that i am the einstein, einstein! hahaha.....
i didn't advice people, besides i believe everyone here can do things in thier own free will. not everyone are the type who does everything they hear without their own decision. this are just posts nothing more. don't take it too personal. once again i am just suggesting to the one who made the topic which is obviously interested and i happen to share a place or two. anway overrun master, hope this ends here.
dear posters/moderators, i would like to say sorry for these posts which are obviously out of the topic. being the one who undertand, i give up to our friend here.
einstein is suppose to be me? take a look around? woof woof... some people just type and type. let me remind you that sometimes we can also think and think! he's alive...
i am not impressed with the new einstein... can't even recognized who is who... peace! |

You are still not getting that: "Brandname overruns" does not exists, it is a myth, a hoax, an urban legend used to sell overpriced fakes to suckers. |

So let's summarise: there are no good quality replicas available in Shanghai. Sorry. The crap you buy at 580 Nanjing Lu, Cheap-u Lu, or former French Concession is of poor quality & high price tag. If you settle for rip-offs and poor quality go to any of the places mentioned above.
Enjoy your stay in Shanghai (and on shanghaiexpat).
Angie. |

Lol, thanks for all the replies guys, I appreciate all your advice, I've been in Shanghai for a year now and don't really buy fake stuff, it's just that my other colleagues are just dying to score imitation stuff probably for their families back home. |

I don't know why people fight in those forums...
Everyone already had buy some fake stuff here...or you never watch a dvd movie at home?
and about clothes: I bought a lot of shirts for my husband at former XM and the quality was great, after almost 3 years, he can still wear it!Looks like new!
For jeans, don't know because it don't fit us...
For watches: you can buy a 20rmb watch in the street, will work for a few days maybe, but you also can buy a 200rmb watch that after almost 3 years is still working...
My point is: we all know everything is fake here.Sometimes we have luck and buy something that worth every cent.Sometimes we just come home and put in the trash.
The good point is: is cheap
The bad point is: the real logos owners aren't happy...ok, then why they don't lower their prices a bit, so we can buy real stuffs??
And, I think everyone agrees: is very fun to go out and bargain, and see how we became happy buying for a "real cheap"price, and then we see how the vendors are happy selling us stuffs for a "real good price"...it's a game, and we like it! |

Factory overruns do exist for non-luxury brand items. This is because the production contracts allow for a 3-5% margin for QA, testing, samples, etc. Manufacturers are allowed to keep this and sell it, although they need to destroy the label (hence the cut-labels you sometimes see)
However, I doubt premium brand jeans would allow overruns to leave the factory. I would expect them to monitor the fabric usage very tightly and destroy all overruns. |

Or they might be saying that they find brands are simply marketing methods of getting people to pay more for a product than it's really worth. After all, I've never met anyone daft enough to try to pass off a fake Rolex as a real one - everyone I've met who's ever bought a fake Rolex just shows it off as a novelty item. |

So you are saying that the brand owners are stupid and can not control it. Hmm. And there are also the 4th secret shifts - how many times I got an offer like "Full container of Adidas, 4th shift, same as original, for 30% of factory price". |

Everyone who has it on its hand has already expressed intention (with wearing it) to lead people to believe its real. Everyone can buy replicas WITHOUT Rolex written on it. That would be "show as novelty item". Whoever buys replica with the actual brand written on it has intention to show it as real ones. |

brand owners can control it but in reality there are individuals who wanted and manage by chance to slip several items outside for a reason i don't know. possibility of making an extra income.
i've seen a number of cut-labels before but the damage to the label has a very low percentage to recognize when worn because of the fact that it's from the inside. also it is just a straight one-inch cut diagonally, just enough to play safe and make a self-defense when questioned by the authorities. |

Thats the TRICK ! They make it it looks like cutted label but always leave something to recognize the brand. 'Bout one year ago someone talked me into HOTWIND, swear is real overruns. And really - they have cutted label but you can see i.e. buttons or something. I bought "Guess" trousers, looked good. After first washing it got 2-3 numbers smaller and did not look like Guess anymore. I have for comparison reall "Guess" trousers, washed lot of times, still looks like new. The "overruns" rumors is their (succesfull) kind of marketing. |
