What did you like the look of at the market? The best thing I saw was those impressive counterfeit handbags. Electronics black market tour ruclips.net/video/dBrRrWNY67A/видео.html Undercover inside a Nepali dance bar ruclips.net/video/mqewOH5mxNM/видео.html
The Rolex's wrist band broke straight away after filming! That's typical for these counterfeit goods, so always bargain because there's minimum a 100% markup. I gave it to my Dad to tinker with because he's a watch fan.
It's getting to the point now (especially with leather having to become imitation leather in designer clothes) where the fakes probably still use leather in their fake stuff products haha*
@@aryansrikumar347 u never spent hours making a product people want to purchase, and have somebody else copy it and profit from it. Thats why u dont care
Its pretty commendable how honest they are. Without missing a beat they tell you its a Chinese fake. At least they aren't trying to scam and its not like the luxury name brands are actually losing money because of this market.
They aren't scamming. Luxury goods are Chinese anyway. Where do you think fur and "Italian" leather comes from? Fashion industry heavily depends on China. If you see Documentaries on dark side of these so called luxury brands, you will realise that these guys are saving you from the real big scam
Fakes and supercopies of luxury brand are one of the grey areas that i can root on, given that they are honest with it and tell people that its not original
Unless they are selling these fake products for lakhs I don't think this should be illegal. Like LV or Gucci bags aren't made up of 24 Carat Gold they're just overpriced so if we are getting a fake one (of good quality) for a cheaper amount then what's wrong with that? Also they tell you that it's a "copy" and not "real" bags
@@exoticindiaa Nope I went to shop for some clothes and asked if the product was real they said it wasn't. I didn't buy it. They'll tell you it's fake because no way a Gucci bag is that cheap (cheap in terms of Gucci)
Heera Panna in the 80s and 90s was unlike what it is today.. It was more of imported stuff which was hard to get by cause of the Govt rules. But as time passed by ppl were more inclined towards what the so called stars are using and that is what got to its present state.. Btw.. Welcome to Mumbai 😍
Somehow I think that lots of fake "celebrities" and "Instagram models" from abroad (and possibly from India as well), are buying their designer handbags/watches etc from this particular market, not knowing that we already know about it hahah :D Thanks again Karl and Manisha ✌️ PS: the handbags look sooo real btw, unbelievable
@@KarlRock no, you couldn't. anyone who has even dealt with designer fashion recognizes at first glance that these are cheap fakes. why are you advertising cheap indian fakes here? the quality is BAD and often the models don't even exist in real life.
@@xxiielhazarothpagangrinder4455 the majority of people haven't dealt with designer things so they can easily believe that those bags are real by looking at pictures of them. As it's shown on the video, only if you look on the inside and check the label then you can actually see that it's fake. I don't think Karl is advertising anything, he's just making people aware that those places exist and showing the way people who work there are protecting them from police and authorities (and people with cameras, obviously).
This reminds me of when I went to New York City for the first time. We wanted to go see Chinatown and they have a massive underground black market their. When it comes to designer bags, purses etc, some of them are so good in quality you can’t even tell the difference.
So this kind of video pretending to illegal is no necessary, because on RUclips there are many openly making video of fake market in Turkey , Thailand and China,so why trying to make video like India in doing one going fake market.
That's simply because China makes the Real stuff too... You have no idea how dark the high end fashion world is. They are the real scammers. African labor exploitation, sourcing materials from China, not paying Bangladeshi artisans... Selling things at 10 times the price. They manage to fool both rich (who think it's really worth the price.., stupid rich always pay for exclusivity) and the poor who think their real price is FAKE
I just want to thank you man. We went to Delhi for 3 days. Definitely avoided all the scams, thanks to your effort of making these videos to help tourist like me travelling to India.
My favorite Karl Rocks videos are the ones where he takes us to the markets/street merchants, particularly the ones where certain shady stuff goes on or have a notoriety 😅
I don't think anything is notorious or wrong in selling counterfeits because everyone wants to look rich but only rich can afford luxury.. so if a middle class person can atleast get a feel of Rich by wearing first copy I don't think there's anything wrong in that.. I have seen much better purses and clothing than originals.. the so called brands ripping off people that's the real crime.. Christine dior tote bag for 3L is a joke. It doesn't even have a zip or extra pockets😅 people who buy originals are just bunch of rich asses who like to waste their money..😢

It’s kind of like, do you not steal because you might get caught, or because you think stealing is wrong. I’m not big on luxury goods, but copying is stealing. Better to not be hung up on carrying a bag with a name on it than to resort to stealing.
So good to see you. Do I care that they’re selling counterfeit items? No. People know it’s counterfeit- I’m so not a “label” person. But that adventure was fun!!! Hope to see you at The People’s Call Center!
I don't believe in buying pretentious over priced designer brands - often made in sweatshops. No, I buy from op shops, many of which still have brands made in NZ. Everything I own, inside and outside my house came from op shops, from gardening tools and plant pots to furniture, bedding, pots and cutlery, clothes.....everything. I recycle everything.
In india all shopkeeper will say this is a first copy.. No one will come to you and will say this is the original 🙄🙄 And the watch you got of Rolex you can get that watch even for 150 Rs just near any local railway station..
Great Video Karl, is the Rolex Watch running on a mechanical movement? It certainly looks great from the camera shots. And can you think of any similar markets selling these high quality counterfeit goods in Delhi? Love your Videos

@@davechristian7543you clearly havent watched all his other videos, or any at all, he constantly shows how cool all of this is but does tell you to look out for the bad. Its not a bad thing to be honest, but you people clearly dont care cause it hurts your little feelings
I wonder why does every american youtuber coming posting videos on the region have to come to india and cross over to pakistan (always) via the land border. its 3 american youtubers I have seen this doing till now. Its really weird though.
Why notorious? I dont like people recording the things from which people are earning their livings. This guy is recording this for his channel. For earning more money..but why on the cost of their living
He's recording for informational reasons about these "scammers" and knock off goods. It is just to let people know. No one will lose their jobs. Also, selling luxury counterfeit goods is illegal in most every country. Doesn't your channel report scammers as well?
You are delusional . You know whats a bigger scam ? Making people believe gucci prada is worth thousands of dollars . ThT is the biggest scam in the world
Would've loved to see what other items they held, this was an extremely informative video. Would definitely keep this area as a potential go-to check out Market
We got caught in one of the anti-encroachment situations in Mumbai, we had no idea what was happening so we just went to the other side of the road and stood back and watched in fascination. Its amazing how fast all those stalls can disappear, however I'm pretty sure the authorities in the trucks were turning a blind eye to a lot of things lol
Why not? It's like big scammers (Gucci, LV etc.) Eating the small businesses... They source their Italian leather from China...fur from China and when the same China sells the same product for half the price showing them their real value... They have a problem.
About 20 years ago I bought a 'replica' IWC watch in a Kuala Lumpur market. It was gorgeous and cost £20. A colleague I was with couldn't believe I had spent so much as he bought a Rolex for £12. My watch had a 'leather' strap with lovely metal clasp that broke after about a week. I tried to get a replacement strap and discovered the strap dimensions were non-standard and a suitable strap would have been about £100.
I appreciate the level of risk you took for this. I liked the video very much, however I personally don't think these markets are affecting much to the huge brands they are featuring. The ppl who can buy a real Rollex will always go for the real one only! But I think these markets are probably a nice earning source for many officials!!😊
That is why you buy branded items in their respective stores not just anywhere. In india, you will see street vendors selling adidas, reebok and other t-shirts, wouldn't call it a scam; because anyone buying there knows they are fake. It is definitely illegal but wouldn't call it a scam.
The A quality grade knock off designer handbags I've seen are pretty good actually at a fraction of the cost. No offence to those who have the original.
only people who have never dealt with real designer goods can say something like that. those are cheap fakes, every connoisseur will see at first glance.
@@xxiielhazarothpagangrinder4455 soldiers wear g shocks ...clearly they are the men among the men's ...stop being a child..a watch doesn't make u a man or a child but the persons words and actions ...
There are atleast 10 websites in Canada supplying such counterfeit products. China and India have a lot of such factories that produce the original as well as fakes. Its unbelievable people die of hunger n we r buying bags worth 200k and above. I don't have much sympathy fr these so called brands.
Heera panna best place for teenage and young guys in Mumbai ... I love this place.... Karl found hidden gems of Mumbai...every country has such market where they sell first copy including USA and new Zealand .. no big deal 👍 ..
Man i never understood the obsession of people with luxury items , apart from cars all these clothes and accessories appears clownish to me. Though Sports brands like NIKE do provide amazing designs and products.
yeah... because i have seen so many shopkeepers telling a high value of something to foreigners which is much lower for indians. because they know that indians wont be fooled thats why they take advanatge of foreignes sadly
My experience of watching Turkey change is that in the 80’s I could go to the market and buy gorgeous local crafted clothes, material, foods. But when I returned with my children in mid 2000’s after a gap of about 10 years, all the markets sold were counterfeit items. Mikes upon miles of counterfeit jeans that bore no resemblance to the real ones apart from a label sewn on. And the teas, spices and Turkish delight was all mass produced and pre-boxed. More tourists putting higher demand on the industry in the now sprawling tourist areas is mainly to blame for this. Also the difference in how I was treated from being a teen and then mid twenties had also changed. Manners had left the area. I was propositioned for a night of entertainment in front of my children many times. I responded by telling them they bring shame to themselves and their family by speaking to a mother that way. In Turkey, they know tourism is ruining their country, but they have grown to rely on it and the attitude towards foreigners has changed. I still made friends with locals, but with many there was always a catch like can I stand CD’s or tapes of rock music out to them. That was a common one. The next time I Go, I will go to a more out of the way place, a village area & see if that holds the same values Turkey pre popular tourism took over.
India has great temples, marvalous heritage monuments ... Lots of great and positive things to show .... I request you guys to make better content. This was OK ... But I wish to see more content that speaks about Incredible India....
Thanks for telling us about this market. I am gonna buy some 10 pair of Air Jordans from here now. 😂 And those idiots shouting in the comments, that a counterfeit can't match original, Just experience a First Copy (not second, third or further) yourself, these are literally made with exact same material and even in the same factory in many cases. You guys are just paying that unjustifibly Overpriced high amount for brand's exclusivity not the quality. 🤡
Great work, Karl. I'd be too embarrassed to buy one of these. Have you done an expose of Tank Road, Karol Bagh, Delhi? The US has named it as one of the top 4 market for counterfeit designer goods in India.
Great Job Karl & Manu loved this video , they are mixed good some are first copy , some are smuggled , some are brought by merchent naval guys , some are auctioned items . You risked and took a perfect stng operation great work .
u portray them as thiefs which is beyond me.. they are not lying abt wht they are selling rather honestly telling u abt 1st copy n 2nd.. n no gun to buy.. they are not even pushing u to buy. n ppl outside the shops are normal idle shopkeepers standing to attract customers to their shop.. n their alert was due to all the concealing of camera which questioned yr intentions.. mumbai was hit by terrorist attack soo the curiosity n alertness..take a chill pill guy yr detective n snooping sense is rising too high..
You'll be lucky if you're not demonetized for this one, Karl. I'm a watch guy and the watch channels rarely run fake vs real watch content because they get demonetized. Interesting stuff for sure. I ordered a G-Shock recently because I like them and would rather have a real G-Shock than a fake watch.
my husband wears a g shock too...and i think its pretty expensive. a watch tells time thats all. put your 5 lakhs where u can earn some interest from it
If the counterfeit quality is as good as the original(or 75% of the original ) I would give it a try. Spending 15000 on a counterfeit Christian Dior just to impress others is ridiculous. You can get very good quality bags for that price .
I didn't find anything unusual you had to go through there are markets like this in east & west and counterfeits are sold openly in malls in London and America to 😧
Saying a “luxury brand sells exclusivity” in one sentence and then saying ‘because no one who actually can afford luxury would shop in a counterfeit mall and therefore these malls aren’t actually hurting authentic goods sales’ is a contradiction. Any counterfeit good sold anywhere at any price DOES IMPACT authentic goods sales and brand value. This Indian market has nothing on China. China is the world’s worst perpetrator of counterfeit goods; there is no #2.
It depends what you are buying , they may look just as good sometimes but they won't last too long , if they are cheap , theres usually a good reason why.
Lol I used to stay in South Bombay for 5 years and this market was very close to our home. Every guest who visited us be it from or outside of India, loved to visit this market. Firstly, the owners themselves accept that the products are not original. The quality of the products is similar to other affordable brands but these firstcopy products have tag of luxury brands - this is what attracts us the most. I personally love Heera Panna market when ever I want to buy an easily disposable seemingly luxurious product... Even my friends love it and it's one of the very few markets in India which has products for everyone and not iust females. There is wide variety of products, accessories, innerwear, sex toys and what not... The only drawback is the extent of bargaining one has to do. A product of 1200rs can be sold to someone at 900rs and someone who is good at bargaining, can get it for 400rs.
The problem here is China, and it is our Enemy....... I know that we can't stop chiniese products But try to avoid as much as possible, Nation first , than leading a fake luxury lifestyle
I remember that too and was felt sorry for him then. Keeping that in mind, he needs to make sure he is not doing any videos of investigative, detective, or things that police get involved in. It's one thing to make a video of himself getting scammed or pointing out to an area where fake products are sold to alert people, but to enter these locations on purpose to examine and investigate further and talk about how they avoid raid etc. am not sure is a wise thing Tourist visas don't allow certain activities , he is a foreigner unless he has a different visa now. I wish him well so hope doesn't get himself into trouble.
Haha in India only serious issues are illegal. Otherwise its fine, for small issues like these even if you get caught just bribe the cops and you can continue.
I would totally shop there every chance I could! I can't support these companies charging the obscene amounts that they do for something they produce at 1% of the price. It's nuts to me...

When people in the USA are asked what is the first thing you think of when you think of India, many reply with "scammers and beggars" hardly any say the "Taj Mahal" or any positive things any more.
Why don't you see luxury cars or handicrafts getting counterfieted ? 1) Because they're complex to build with enough checks & balances, and 2) They're reasonably priced for a counterfeiters to actually make some profit out of it. All big brands import their goods from sweatshops in China, India , Thailand and South East Asia infamous for poor labour conditions but then are the first to cry out if they get the same treatment in return by the very own suppliers who try to make best use of their acquired skills. I am not justifying counterfeiting but for me something that can be copied without much effort shows how much that 'brand' relies on these sweatshops and is basically marketing something they buy off cheaply and sell for a fortune without actually doing much for it. Anything like this lacks inherent quality in itself and is nothing more than a nuisance value. Personally I would never buy something just because it's 'expensive' and for it being a visual treat but unfortunately it is also those people who step in wanting to get a slice of something they KNOW they can't afford but can't do away with that yearning as well !
After my recent 11 years in Shanghai, as a Californian Linguist, I wish you and I could share a tea or cafe and discuss the rather seemingly eerie beautifulesques in this all.
Omg such a fake video, it's not like that in jeera panna, he didn't even show people following him, don't blindly believe him, he's brainstorming everyone for the views.

how is he an ambassador when all so often he is putting shit on there way of life?
@@davechristian7543you clearly havent watched all his other videos, or any at all, he constantly shows how cool all of this is but does tell you to look out for the bad. Its not a bad thing to be honest, but you people clearly dont care cause it hurts your little feelings
I wonder why does every american youtuber coming posting videos on the region have to come to india and cross over to pakistan (always) via the land border. its 3 american youtubers I have seen this doing till now. Its really weird though.
Why notorious? I dont like people recording the things from which people are earning their livings. This guy is recording this for his channel. For earning more money..but why on the cost of their living
He's recording for informational reasons about these "scammers" and knock off goods. It is just to let people know. No one will lose their jobs. Also, selling luxury counterfeit goods is illegal in most every country.
Doesn't your channel report scammers as well?
You're doing great work brother. Better than many out there.
You are delusional . You know whats a bigger scam ? Making people believe gucci prada is worth thousands of dollars . ThT is the biggest scam in the world
Would've loved to see what other items they held, this was an extremely informative video. Would definitely keep this area as a potential go-to check out Market
We got caught in one of the anti-encroachment situations in Mumbai, we had no idea what was happening so we just went to the other side of the road and stood back and watched in fascination. Its amazing how fast all those stalls can disappear, however I'm pretty sure the authorities in the trucks were turning a blind eye to a lot of things lol
Why not? It's like big scammers (Gucci, LV etc.) Eating the small businesses... They source their Italian leather from China...fur from China and when the same China sells the same product for half the price showing them their real value... They have a problem.
They were not turning blind eye. Its just a reminder to pay the bribery or we will destroy your shop.
Thank God I was never into buying designer/name brand products. Such a waste of money.
Simple life = Best life
There are other such counterfeit markets in Mumbai and most of the times the buying experience is not so good.
About 20 years ago I bought a 'replica' IWC watch in a Kuala Lumpur market. It was gorgeous and cost £20. A colleague I was with couldn't believe I had spent so much as he bought a Rolex for £12. My watch had a 'leather' strap with lovely metal clasp that broke after about a week. I tried to get a replacement strap and discovered the strap dimensions were non-standard and a suitable strap would have been about £100.
I visited kuala lumpur last month Its so cheap and stink place half part of it is modern but half is under developed and not good
Karl Rock,,, It’s very nice to see a husband and wife happy. To your credit. You work hard at it. God Bless you both. High quality video…
I appreciate the level of risk you took for this. I liked the video very much, however I personally don't think these markets are affecting much to the huge brands they are featuring. The ppl who can buy a real Rollex will always go for the real one only! But I think these markets are probably a nice earning source for many officials!!😊
That is why you buy branded items in their respective stores not just anywhere. In india, you will see street vendors selling adidas, reebok and other t-shirts, wouldn't call it a scam; because anyone buying there knows they are fake. It is definitely illegal but wouldn't call it a scam.
That full face mask definitely had some Daft Punk vibes going on
I don’t mind these particular shops so much. They’re honest about the merchandise being counterfeit and the originals are overpriced.
If it works as a bag, I honestly don't care. But great video! Love the investigative reporting.
A plastic bag works just the same as any other bag , would you really want to walk around carrying it all the time though ?
The A quality grade knock off designer handbags I've seen are pretty good actually at a fraction of the cost. No offence to those who have the original.
only people who have never dealt with real designer goods can say something like that. those are cheap fakes, every connoisseur will see at first glance.
@@xxiielhazarothpagangrinder4455 Well he said pretty good for the price , not just as good
Tbh G-shocks digital watches are among the coolest watches i have seen ,especially their army camouflage series ...
Totally agree
watches for little boys, imagine an adult man wearing a gshock LMAO
@@xxiielhazarothpagangrinder4455 soldiers wear g shocks ...clearly they are the men among the men's ...stop being a child..a watch doesn't make u a man or a child but the persons words and actions ...
There are atleast 10 websites in Canada supplying such counterfeit products. China and India have a lot of such factories that produce the original as well as fakes. Its unbelievable people die of hunger n we r buying bags worth 200k and above. I don't have much sympathy fr these so called brands.
Heera panna best place for teenage and young guys in Mumbai ... I love this place.... Karl found hidden gems of Mumbai...every country has such market where they sell first copy including USA and new Zealand .. no big deal 👍 ..
Even Hyderabad Old city some areas have fake product black markets still today, they're cheap so good demand
We call them grey market. But these are sometimes only place to get latest tech even if its not available in infia.
And yet again Karl brings us some great detective work and investigating. I love these videos. 10/10! You rock Karl!
Man i never understood the obsession of people with luxury items , apart from cars all these clothes and accessories appears clownish to me. Though Sports brands like NIKE do provide amazing designs and products.
You should never say to the shopkeepers, your budget is 6500 or anything, you should bargain, always
He did tho lol got like 20$ off or something!
@@wellidk556 The price of that watch is around 50$ max in india that was mall so it was almost double
yeah... because i have seen so many shopkeepers telling a high value of something to foreigners which is much lower for indians. because they know that indians wont be fooled thats why they take advanatge of foreignes sadly
@@ZaWarudo69 Just like Canadian education system enrolling 10k student for 30lac rs
When jobs are only 500 avaliable
@@jayvalecha4874 can you tell from where can we buy such products at right price?
My experience of watching Turkey change is that in the 80’s I could go to the market and buy gorgeous local crafted clothes, material, foods. But when I returned with my children in mid 2000’s after a gap of about 10 years, all the markets sold were counterfeit items. Mikes upon miles of counterfeit jeans that bore no resemblance to the real ones apart from a label sewn on. And the teas, spices and Turkish delight was all mass produced and pre-boxed. More tourists putting higher demand on the industry in the now sprawling tourist areas is mainly to blame for this. Also the difference in how I was treated from being a teen and then mid twenties had also changed. Manners had left the area. I was propositioned for a night of entertainment in front of my children many times. I responded by telling them they bring shame to themselves and their family by speaking to a mother that way.
In Turkey, they know tourism is ruining their country, but they have grown to rely on it and the attitude towards foreigners has changed. I still made friends with locals, but with many there was always a catch like can I stand CD’s or tapes of rock music out to them. That was a common one. The next time I Go, I will go to a more out of the way place, a village area & see if that holds the same values Turkey pre popular tourism took over.
Heera Panna sales after this video. ^^^^
India has great temples, marvalous heritage monuments ... Lots of great and positive things to show .... I request you guys to make better content. This was OK ... But I wish to see more content that speaks about Incredible India....
Karl complains about counterfeits, 3 months later is chipping his console to run illegal games.
Thanks for telling us about this market. I am gonna buy some 10 pair of Air Jordans from here now. 😂
And those idiots shouting in the comments, that a counterfeit can't match original, Just experience a First Copy (not second, third or further) yourself, these are literally made with exact same material and even in the same factory in many cases. You guys are just paying that unjustifibly Overpriced high amount for brand's exclusivity not the quality. 🤡
U r so intelligent
this happens in every country... london has same markets too, Canada, US
How much do you sell me your “ first quality copy” Rolex watch .hahaha 😃 👋
Great work, Karl. I'd be too embarrassed to buy one of these. Have you done an expose of Tank Road, Karol Bagh, Delhi? The US has named it as one of the top 4 market for counterfeit designer goods in India.
Its not Karl Rock its pewdiepie!!!
Great Job Karl & Manu loved this video , they are mixed good some are first copy , some are smuggled , some are brought by merchent naval guys , some are auctioned items . You risked and took a perfect stng operation great work .
u portray them as thiefs which is beyond me.. they are not lying abt wht they are selling rather honestly telling u abt 1st copy n 2nd.. n no gun to buy.. they are not even pushing u to buy. n ppl outside the shops are normal idle shopkeepers standing to attract customers to their shop.. n their alert was due to all the concealing of camera which questioned yr intentions.. mumbai was hit by terrorist attack soo the curiosity n alertness..take a chill pill guy yr detective n snooping sense is rising too high..
They are thief’s quite simply. Selling fake products of a name brand is thieving from the brand.
Agree this dude is getting annoying
You'll be lucky if you're not demonetized for this one, Karl. I'm a watch guy and the watch channels rarely run fake vs real watch content because they get demonetized. Interesting stuff for sure. I ordered a G-Shock recently because I like them and would rather have a real G-Shock than a fake watch.
my husband wears a g shock too...and i think its pretty expensive. a watch tells time thats all. put your 5 lakhs where u can earn some interest from it
Totally agree. G-Shocks are great.
Please come to Canada soon Karl!
Why invite this guy??
As long as there are brands there will be counterfits, there's no stopping them
I don’t quite understand people’s desire to have expensive brands like this. But to each their own
Karl we need more such videos like these 💪🏻very informative
The Actual scams are Brands, Id happily pay for quality of the product, rather than paying mindlessly 10x markup for a brand.
I would buy them but only pay for something thats worth. These brands are overpriced and their existence creates further division in society.
The dedication to giving us content though 🔥
Stay safe though brother 🙏
Shopkeeper: Panga nahi lene ka
Karl: Here! Hold my beer.
There is nothing scam here.
I will definitely go and buy some dupes of luxury products...😅 Livin' in Mumbai and don't know about this market; shame on me.....😂😂😂
If the counterfeit quality is as good as the original(or 75% of the original ) I would give it a try. Spending 15000 on a counterfeit Christian Dior just to impress others is ridiculous. You can get very good quality bags for that price .
I'm really confused, are all these shops run by people from the same community?
Are they smuggling this stuff illegally due to contacts?
I didn't find anything unusual you had to go through there are markets like this in east & west and counterfeits are sold openly in malls in London and America to 😧
Saying a “luxury brand sells exclusivity” in one sentence and then saying ‘because no one who actually can afford luxury would shop in a counterfeit mall and therefore these malls aren’t actually hurting authentic goods sales’ is a contradiction.
Any counterfeit good sold anywhere at any price DOES IMPACT authentic goods sales and brand value.
This Indian market has nothing on China. China is the world’s worst perpetrator of counterfeit goods; there is no #2.
I would definitely buy from these stores it’s save huge money
It depends what you are buying , they may look just as good sometimes but they won't last too long , if they are cheap , theres usually a good reason why.
Lol I used to stay in South Bombay for 5 years and this market was very close to our home. Every guest who visited us be it from or outside of India, loved to visit this market.
Firstly, the owners themselves accept that the products are not original. The quality of the products is similar to other affordable brands but these firstcopy products have tag of luxury brands - this is what attracts us the most.
I personally love Heera Panna market when ever I want to buy an easily disposable seemingly luxurious product... Even my friends love it and it's one of the very few markets in India which has products for everyone and not iust females.
There is wide variety of products, accessories, innerwear, sex toys and what not... The only drawback is the extent of bargaining one has to do.
A product of 1200rs can be sold to someone at 900rs and someone who is good at bargaining, can get it for 400rs.
Honestly I like the first shop and how straightforward they are discussing the build. If I was interested in luxury goods I'd support them.
The problem here is China, and it is our Enemy.......
I know that we can't stop chiniese products
But try to avoid as much as possible,
Nation first , than leading a fake luxury lifestyle
So the government won't stop this market and it takes a RUclipsr to reveal the truth. Sad state of affairs
One day you will discover that rabbit hole going to the top politician in power and that is where ppl starts to wanish.
Thanks Karl this is the first time I watched your video completely
Why is the video so unstable?
This is the type of videos we ❤️. Nice Vlog. Love 🇮🇳
I remember your mentioning of the difficulty returning to India. It's good to see that you've managed to go back.
I remember that too and was felt sorry for him then. Keeping that in mind, he needs to make sure he is not doing any videos of investigative, detective, or things that police get involved in. It's one thing to make a video of himself getting scammed or pointing out to an area where fake products are sold to alert people, but to enter these locations on purpose to examine and investigate further and talk about how they avoid raid etc. am not sure is a wise thing Tourist visas don't allow certain activities , he is a foreigner unless he has a different visa now. I wish him well so hope doesn't get himself into trouble.
I didn’t know first copy,second copy etc was illegal in india. I encounter such items all the time and shop keepers happily admit to it.
Haha in India only serious issues are illegal. Otherwise its fine, for small issues like these even if you get caught just bribe the cops and you can continue.
I am sure pretty soon Karl will need a disguise. Because scammers will see him walking into their store and they will say, "Nahi chahiye bhai....🙏"
I would totally shop there every chance I could! I can't support these companies charging the obscene amounts that they do for something they produce at 1% of the price. It's nuts to me...
Yup the real thieves are these companies but of course nobody does anything against them cuz they got money
The problem here is China, and it is our Enemy.......
I know that we can't stop chiniese products
But try to avoid as much as possible,

bro that is a normal market. stop looking at things suspiciously where ever u go.
Be normal. So that people can treat you well
Should those brands have such ridiculously high prices? What do you think?
When people in the USA are asked what is the first thing you think of when you think of India, many reply with "scammers and beggars" hardly any say the "Taj Mahal" or any positive things any more.
Why don't you see luxury cars or handicrafts getting counterfieted ?
1) Because they're complex to build with enough checks & balances, and
2) They're reasonably priced for a counterfeiters to actually make some profit out of it.
All big brands import their goods from sweatshops in China, India , Thailand and South East Asia infamous for poor labour conditions but then are the first to cry out if they get the same treatment in return by the very own suppliers who try to make best use of their acquired skills. I am not justifying counterfeiting but for me something that can be copied without much effort shows how much that 'brand' relies on these sweatshops and is basically marketing something they buy off cheaply and sell for a fortune without actually doing much for it. Anything like this lacks inherent quality in itself and is nothing more than a nuisance value. Personally I would never buy something just because it's 'expensive' and for it being a visual treat but unfortunately it is also those people who step in wanting to get a slice of something they KNOW they can't afford but can't do away with that yearning as well !
Karl that guy made a fool out of you
The actual price of the same quality of watch
you bought is Rs 2200!
Approximately $26.75
Can you tell from where we can buy such items at the right price?
@@vinaywadhwa99 its available everywhere
After my recent 11 years in Shanghai, as a Californian Linguist, I wish you and I could share a tea or cafe and discuss the rather seemingly eerie beautifulesques in this all.
“Wu kuai” to locals is five points but to foreigners it is called out as “ten yuan” or ten points.
The mere language shift results in a 100% increase in consumer cost. The English is the only difference.
these big brands are looting the customers as well, in the name of luxury
It’s a copy, clearly mentioned by the seller. You bought it being fully aware that it’s a copy.
Omg such a fake video, it's not like that in jeera panna, he didn't even show people following him, don't blindly believe him, he's brainstorming everyone for the views.
