Replica vs Fake Handbags: Can You Tell the Difference?

(I think they occasionally make an "example" of someone...and with my luck it would be me) I personally did not want to do business with any of these sellers. They use high pressure sales techniques and undermine honest business people. It was kind of creepy how they lurked around the stalls of the markets in Florence and kind of jumped out at you trying to sell things. You read all the time about travelers being "put off" by people thrusting things at them and harrassing them to buy, yet the only reason they do it is it works. In one of the stalls, there are a handful of non-Thai foreigners, all male, bartering over a large sum of counterfeit handbags.

We saw a group of street vendors running at top speed carrying their wares in blankets, presumably being chased by the police. After seeing that, I personally wouldn't risk buying from them. I hope tonight's episode of Homeland Security USA on ABC, has a segment about this...I love watching grownups cry.
