  • Join me on an adventure through the bustling Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City, where I dive into the world of counterfeit goods. In this eye-opening journey, I scour the stalls in search of knockoffs from renowned brands like Yeezy, Nike, and Louis Vuitton. From trendy sneakers to stylish handbags, the market offers a wide array of imitation products at bargain prices.
    But the real gem of my exploration lies in a hidden corner where a watch vendor proudly displays an array of copy watches. From Rolex and Patek Philippe to Omega and Cartier, the selection is astounding. I take a closer look, examining the craftsmanship and scrutinizing the details to distinguish between authentic-looking replicas and shoddy imitations.
    As I navigate through the maze of vendors, I uncover the key to scoring a good deal: thorough inspection. While some merchandise may appear convincing at first glance, closer examination reveals telltale signs of cheap production. Join me as I share my tips and tricks for discerning quality and avoiding counterfeit pitfalls in this fascinating world of imitation luxury.
    Embark on this journey with me and discover the allure and intricacies of Vietnam's thriving fake market scene. Whether you're a seasoned shopper or a curious observer, this adventure promises to unveil the secrets behind the allure of knockoff goods. Don't miss out on this captivating exploration of counterfeit culture in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City!

      Yeah I've driven prices way down at the entire market since then. Take at least 20% off what I paid in this video and you'll arrive at the price you can probably buy single items for.

    Honestly, who cares if it's fake. I bought the original last year and, frankly, after checking it out, I wasn't impressed with the price I paid. And prices are rising every year. It’s better to go to *topluxs* and buy a high-quality replica.

      I doubt 25 bucks gets you a "nice" rolex. It all depends on the quality. You get what you paid for. I've bought fakes under 50 that barely last a year and i have some fakes costing 400+ that are still working after 3-4 years.

    • @FollowBrando
      @FollowBrando  Рік тому +2

      It is about the same. There's some poorly made stuff but some really good knockoffs. The Adidas and Adidas Yeezy kicks I bought were solidly built. The Rolex is automatic (not battery operated), still works great and fooled a few watch fanatics. Many factories like Adidas, Nike and other major brands are relocating to Vietnam so I think that is where they are learning how to make this stuff.

      To negotiate, you gotta be firm, don't feel bad. I'd say offer them 50-70% of the price they give you and if they don't, just walk out, they'll probably chase you and say they'll give you that price.
