hi, a few years ago we used to import gear from china, you have to relise that it is fake gear that you are buying and therefore you can end up being in deep s***,also to our cost we found out about how they can dissapear with your money so be careful and customs can stop anything they want, can put a charge on your goods if they release them think we paid about £90 but that was about 4 years ago
just be careful and look into it properly

hi melmar

thanks for that

my daughter loves all the fake designer handbags, which she usually buys in Leeds market. all her friends do too so we thought it would be a good idea.

how do the market stall holders get away with it and do you have any idea where they buy their stock from?

hi giily, how much does your daughter/friends pay,see depends how much layout you are willing to commit to and how lucky you are, i have known stall owners go out to china after finding agents on the internet shown what they want then 3/4/5 orders down line no goods or inferior to what they originally saw,on the other hand people get some really quality goods- luck of draw!
pm me and i could let you have more info but it all boils down to what quality you are looking for and what you are expecting to pay out

It is illegal to buy or sell pirate/faked item in the UK, theoretically it is an offence that carries a custodial sentence if proven, although in reality a fine is usually all that happens plus the criminal record of course.

It really isn't worth openly flouting the rules like this , you will have money tied up in stock which will be consficated if caught and will always be looking over your shoulder to see who is watching you.
