      I personally went back in 2016 and they HAD puffer jackets / north face and fake Columbia jackets . However 2023 (this video) I could not find any this year. It seems like covid and inflation got those products off the market is my suspicion. I couldn’t find them when I was there. I’m going back to Vietnam this December. I’ll see if things have changed. :)

      Suitcases on average I got quoted first was about $100-150 Canadian which I wouldn’t get there. Try to bargain it down to something you like, I’ve seen suitcases go for $50-70cad. Don’t expect the prices to be like $10-15-20 it won’t be like that. Not for suitcases.

    • @PhinexTV
      @PhinexTV  3 місяці тому

      I believe they 'have' it on the perimeter of the centre. If you're talking about the hiker backpacks where there's a belly strap where you get at sporting life/mountain warehouse, its less common here. However, they do have hiker trekking bags like patagonia, northface that is backpack style. I really want to say they do have your style you're talking about, it's just less common. The north face bags/patagonia duffle back packs are 90-100L biggest size, not 120L so you know. Hope this helps.

    Recently went to Saigon and Ben Thanh was a stressful but also memorable experience.
    Surprisingly, I was the most active haggler in our group even though I have a reputation of being really bad at it.
    I only did 50% haggle though. But most of the time, I would only go up slightly or be really stubborn with the 50% of OG price.
    Anyway, got some good deals and managed to help my friends drop prices down as well 😜

      When I was last there, charged $100 Canadian but can haggle down to $70 Canadian. For fake Rolex. I didn’t end up buying it though, there’s many jewelry stores BUT that’s the price I got quoted before for those Rolex’s. so around there and cheaper for G shocks etc.

      Yes around there. The prices can flutuate, which is why you might have to take some time to bargain. Walk away and come back, you might have to repeat the process. oh a big tip is.... go shop near the end of the day when they are about to close. Better deals then. :)

    • @PhinexTV
      @PhinexTV  Рік тому +1

      I don’t recall seeing a LV jewelry box. But there are jewelry boxes. Also check the vendors against the walls. They don’t have much customers going there because many people usually go into the middle of the market because it’s a tourist thing to do- to go into the center. If you go along the sides of the market, you’ll often see different things and possibly better bargains because the side stalls and vendors don’t get much love n attention as the centre stalls.
