So I sell high quality replicas of different types of apparel from Taobao/WeChat sellers to family, friends, and friends of friends (They know they are replicas when they buy them). I don't have consistent sales, but every few weeks or so someone will come to me and want to buy Ray Bans, a Louis Vuitton bag, etc.

My question is how can I advertise or scale this operation so I can reach a wider audience of people to sell to? I have been doing this for over 2 years now and the items I offer are essentially 1:1 with retail, I do not sell crappy knock offs.

I can't make a website and sell my items there because I'm almost positive it's illegal, all my advertising now has come from word of mouth. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can reach a wider array of people?

I have photos of some of the items I sell if you guys need to make sure I'm not selling crappy knockoffs.
 
illegal activities are frowned upon here,

not a good idea to discuss your illegal business

I believe it's only illegal if I'm selling them as real, authentic items, correct? The people I sell them to are 100% aware they are replicas. I look at it as it's like I bought something that I do not want so I just sell it to a friend.

But replica items are an infringement of Intellectual property (logo trademarks)
 
people dont normally buy fake shit it will be hard to sell when most people already know how to get fake shit when searching google for 2 seconds
 
i have a mate who sells stuff but in a closed fb group but to a select group.
websites will get taken down and if your not careful a knock on the door,
me personally ive only ever bought 1 fake item in my life
an england shirt.
 
It is copyright fraud .anyway i saw dozens of websites sell them . Just in facebook ads don't say its a replica or anything. And the photos on ads must not contain anylogo of the brand ..
Sell them as high quality handbag only etc .
