| Jie Lun thank you very much for all your advices. I have been to the various places and others. I find that e.g. at Hongkong Plaza laptops, hndphones and PCs can be had for good prizes, but that besides these products the choice of international brands is quite limited, and that generally internationally branded electronics made in China must get shipped out directly without ever making it to the chinese market. E.g. all the microphones and related articels which I know are made in China are not available anywhere. Kenneth, there are many quite cheap chinese mp3 and mp4 players, a popular 1 GB mp4 player costs about 450 RMB. though I do not remember it's brand name. 1 GB may be max. capacity, there might be a 2 GB model though, but rarely at display. They can be found at Hongkong Plaza but also pretty much at any department store throughout Shanghai. I can't comment much on their general quality e.g. sound as I tested two or three at the shoponly where is was very loud, but the quality of their display is very poor. Ipods are also readily available, an 1 GB - what is the name of the model again, the smallest one without any display, - was offered to me for as low as 320 RMB, but I think they are copied. not original products. Many small stalls in a building at the crossing of Central Fuxing Rd. and South Xiang Yang Rd. south of Central Huaihai Rd. Other international brands hardly to be found but some Samsungs. |
Fake Market in Shanghai?
