If you go from the Colony Hotel North to the first roundabout and turn left there are a variety of stores selling knockoffs -- watches, clothing, etc.... The question is whether the prices they ask for in the stores are the final price or is negotiation allowed like in the open markets of the Middle East?



If negotiation is part of the game, how much above the real prices are the storekeepers asking?

try negotiating and see what happens. Go in with a ridiculous low amount and see if they show you the door. What have you got to lose?

Where else can yu get a GUCCI watch for £15.00 ? I don't think knock-ff is the phrase - we call them "snide" and they do work - for about 2 weeks - well until you get home anyhow lol

To me knockoff always meant stolen.

Fake, copy or counterfeit come to mind for alot of goods over here.
