Hi guys,

I'm going China Shenzhen Soon in about a months time and I'm looking to buy a few things which I want to sell when I get back to the UK, mainly in the computing and cosmetics area.

What are the best places for bargains?

What is Shenzhen like?

I'd be great full if you could share your experience :-).

Thanks
 
Shenzhen is the biggest electronics market in China.You can find electronics with cheap prices at huaqiangbei,RD. For clothes,you can go to dongmen.
 
You will get fake bags,sunglasses as well as electronics item. Shenzhen is not far from HK. You can take a visit there.
 
You guys in the UK are lucky to be so close to China, its 23 hours AND $1200 USD flight from the USA.

I'd love to know what city/region has the best quality replica nikes, tired of the same average quality and high price from alibaba's MANY middlemen.
 
shenzhen is a prosperous city,if you want to buy some electronics,hua qiang bei is the place to go
 
Best advice is to go straight to HK and ask the locals for their black market!
 
buddy you should be careful there many fakes around , counterfeiting is also done . be careful but its a very good place ,make sure you do some research on google too before buying :) happy journey ..
 
One more thing, you should get your Chinese friend to help you around! If you're a white guy walking around like you have no clue, you aint gonna find the right people!

We're closer to China than you are, but it's still pretty far away!
 
"Around the world in 80 trades" show comes into mind. It's about a guy like you, he is from UK. In one show, he went to china and done some trades, also got some profit by sold the south african wine to Chinese distributor.
 
I travel to Guangzhou China twice a year. I pay for my entire trip with replica products I buy there (including the suitcase to bring them home).

I now purchase from the same places each time, so the price and service has got better. In my experience the items which I have had the easiest time making a profit on (which is the point) are True Religion blue jeans, Bench brand jackets, and Lu Lu lemon brand jackets. You can buy these items in quantity for under USD$20 each, bring 50kilos of them home in your suitcase, and resell them within a couple days for USD$50 each just to friends and family. The quality on them is decent and nobody complains because the price is so cheap. Other items such as watches and sunglasses also work.

Now i wouldnt recommend trying to build a business on replica products, but it certainly will put an extra thousand bucks in your pocket anytime you need it.

Also if your dealing direct with anyone in China you will have the fear of sending money and getting scammed, as happens to every noob at buying chinese goods online. I had that same fear until I met my sources face to face a few times.

I will be back in Guang Zhou (where every replica product in the world is made and wholesaled) in April if you or anyone else happens to be there and wants to go out on the town and show the Chinese how to drink whiskey.
