I agree. It seems what they mention if often the retail price of the totally overprices brand name items.

But how much does any of those brand name companies actually pay for the production? Maybe 10% or the retail price?

40,000 bags at 750 baht = 30,000,000 baht.  

How stupid do you have to be to advertise knock-off goods on the internet so that the whole world can see what you're doing, including the brand name owners? And then be surprised when there's a knock at the door. I guess some people still don't understand the internet and that advertising isn't only seen by potential customers.

Same with those who arrange illegal motorcycle races on the internet, and then being shocked when the police show up. Totally brainless.

I've seen her ads on FB, charges something like 30k for a belt...she was asked if she could show receipt....she posted ok , I'll have it tomorrow....

Usually it's fifth to 25 % of the RRP

Just how many Thai's can afford a 'real' designer bag? I don't see many at the local market that can spend that kind of money. If not for the fake goods there wouldn't be a market.

95% of stuff you see in shops and markets are fake... only the very top outlets have the real deal.

In a way that is what I thought. And then I spoke with girls who work in a 5-star hotel. Salary and tip together maybe 25k per months. And they all thought it's necessary to have a designer bag. As far as I remember the price of the bags they mentioned was 30k up, more than one month salary for them...

totally agree ....  fake rolex's, copy nike's, fake levis etc ....  the little guy working in the factory can afford a copy or the office girl on 12k a month can afford a copy, they will never buy the real thing, the money that the street seller makes feeds his family, jobs are created down the line from the seller to the distributors.

I'm all for copy items.

I expect they were paying import tax on the items same as you, they are not exempt. I am aware of several sellers and they all pay the import required.

Real and fake bag is different how? Nothing.

 

Real price 50,000 baht, fake price 500 baht. 

Same bag, same use. 

 

What you want? 

a) real bag

b) fake bag with 49,500 baht cash. 

 

Be stupid buy “real” bag. 

 

 

Where do the rats sell them after seizing ?
