Buy it, buy it!!

„All genuine … only twelve Euro!” this is how the vendor offers an “original branded watch”. The mostly Vietnamese vendors at the Czech border crossing Hrensko offer whatever the – German – clients want, including garden gnomes and plaster figures. Since more than 25 years the markets along the border have an almost magical appeal for their German customers. If the Adidas shirt loses its colour after a short time, who cares! Recent controls in November 2019 of the markets at Petrovice and Hrensko discovered fake branded products worth almost 100 000 Euro.
