Sri Lanka's Worst Market Scammer 🇱🇰
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2019
- ■ SRI LANKA, KANDY: Whenever I'm in a new city I like to check out the local markets to see what goods are for sale and how much they cost. I generally don't care much for the price (whether I overpay or not) on these occasions as I'm happy to help out the local vendors who toil there day in and day out. But even I have my limits.
After buying some socks at a pretty decent price at at the first market stall I entered I decided to go on a little shopping spree. It was then that I ran into the biggest con artist I've ever meet in any market worldwide!

the jacket you were asking for is just about 2000 in india here
the 3 pair of socks you bought doesn't costs more than 150 here in india
You have the patience of a saint Harold
Wass up harald? Hope ur doing good. Thanks for the shopping excursion.
Those KFC girls digged you man! :-D Go get 'm ;-)
The first store owner seems pretty honest, you can tell this just by looking at his behavior
Yep
Well he is the one going for them not really the other way around lol.. Even they guy on the sidewalk he started asking what price he could do... You don't tell a hustler what price he can do for you and expect him to tell you and walk away :D
he's getting so excited just for Selling socks for 3dollars its crazy, he can't find hes stuff.
good quality veri cheep price u buy??

1.6 thousand people viewed this before I was notified.
RUclips doesn’t understand my priorities.
Yeah, RUclips can mess up like that sometimes. I recently got notified of a "new video" that was uploaded 5 years ago. Go figure.
RUclips's priority is money and advertisers.
yeah RUclips used to send me weekly updates on my subscriptions i subscribe to here of videos then they stopped doing that?
Now for these new video updates I don't even know if they uploaded a new video unless i log into youtube so sad
Same.
6800 for a shirt IS outrageous we can get a Tuk Tuk windscreen and a tune up for that🙄
APV I think there is good and bad in all countries Mr apv and judging all Sri Lankans by the two greedy shop keepers in this vlog is not right, I think the real Sri Lankans are like Mr tuk tuk and his family
APV I also agree with fellow RUclips user 3 Dollops... There is indeed good and bad in each and every country no matter where you visit so the chances are that you are going to end up having an encounter with both. I personally am located in Canada 🇨🇦
where I was born and raised here in the province of British Columbia and although I have traveled to 4 other countries so far as an adult
(I am in my very early 20's and due to my siblings and I being raised by a single mother our family was never able to afford to travel anywhere while I was growing up) with all but one of those countries being located in Latin America, I must say that I have personally witnessed more scam attempts in my home country compared to when I had traveled.
I would like to clarify that the scams never happened through local businesses and stores but rather with the people who live here in their own time. Back before Walmart became more strict on their return policy as they used to blindly trust that their "customers" would be fully honest whenever returning a product WITHOUT the receipts created the problem where people would attempt to steal from Walmart and come back another day or to a different location and return their previously "purchased" item for a full money back refund... That was definitely more of a scam then what these people are doing at these markets as they do not force their customer to pay that much, the customers willingly pay the provided price and yes the customer may be paying for their item unknowingly that it is overpriced - but it is up to the customer to do their own research prior to shopping in a country unfamiliar to them.
Lmaoooo
When I was in Spain last summer there were indian scammers just like this that used same phrases like: my friend I give you good price...
And also the calculator the damn calculator.
It's always the damn calculator!
Bro those wernt Indians, they were fucking Moroccans, I cant stress how annoying Moroccans are in Portugal and Spain, the cops dont care either.
Yes, I'm Spanish and we have quite a lot of maekets like this, however in my experience they tend to be less intrusive, they just shout about their awesome prices.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from Germany"
"I like German football players very much"
"Who's your favorite player?"
"My favorite player is Christiano Ronaldo"
"He's Portuguese"
😂😂

He is from Norway though, but I guess he gave up. Most people know Germany, but not Norway.

@@iHipHopVEVO He is from Norway, but most people (in countries he has been traveling to) don't seem to know where Norway is. Germany is close to Norway and generally known by people. So it's easier for him to just say Germany. No need for further explanation after :)

I'm sorry to hear that your ex let you go.. Just keep moving forward. :)
I was getting irritated watching them try to cheat you. I understand that they have to make a living but I am sure they would do better if they don't cheat. But it's an entertainment to watch them go about their process.
Different kind of work ethic. Some people in some countries have no understanding of the outside world. They think we're all rich; hence, it's justified to rip us off. It's more of a victim mentality than a entrepreneur mentality of fairly earning an income. In their mind it's not ripping us off, it's us giving them charity. It still baffles me how some have no cognitive understanding of how income and expenses work between one country to the other, thus why they think all tourists are rich.
I really like this first shop owner who has the prices written on his merch. Now that is a true entrepreneur with a good work ethic! He gave Harald the real prices. He isn't a man looking for a donation, aka ripping tourists off.
@@sebastienbolduc5654 and he was still offering him discounts when he comes back, it was wonderful!
Because he has passed the India round
They charge more than in the US retailers. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I love how these videos are just Harold starting off with renewed confidence that this vlog is gonna be different and he will have a good time in this one but it’s just his slow descent into madness
12:28 The slow motion of salesman saying: " good price my friend" was hilarious Harald! The way his eyes shifted around and his voice trailing off made even him not believe what he was saying ROFL :-D

also harold: talks about cricket after
The guy selling bags is a really good guy who is trying to sell
3500 for that Tshirt😂😂😂, Mr. Harald you taught a very good lesson for that scammers at the Tshirt shop.
Max Retail price would be US 10 dollers for that Lion Shirt in that market. But that guy tripled it as he thinks foreigners are foolish..
He was basically quoting normal US/Western prices (a dri-fit shirt could easily cost in the $30 range); not that I would buy even I liked the shirt, but it's really not that outrageous in light of that. Harald's offer of 500 rupees is only 2.84 USD
I live in Sri Lanka and that t shirt doesn't even cost 10 USD. Max price would be 5 USD for that in a market like that. I'm really ashamed to see this. Happy he wasn't fooled by the scammer.

I could listen to some of these guys explain products all day long. Something very comforting about the way they explain. It’s too bad that most of them are trying to scam you. Good on that first guy though.

I really wish that particular individual my very good and happy thoughts, this person has displayed and shown himself to be an incredible human. LOVE and peace from Singapore.

My favourite quote from Harald: "That is outrageous!"
These vendors would drive me bonkers. You cannot get a straight answer! HOW MUCH??
12:05 wtf don't even think about buying from this bugger 😂😂
I never go into shops to just look. When they say, "It can't hurt to look" it does hurt to look because they will drag everything out of every drawer and keep you in the shop as long as possible. Then there are the looks of disappointment and "I show you everything and you buy nothing?" You just spent a half hour+ in the shop being bored stiff and that hurts. Oh God, never go to those tailor shops. More often than not they give you an inferior cloth and quality. Nobody EVER wants to talk to you because of where you come from. The only reason is to get your money. Period. You are an opportunity.
