Trying Not to Get Punched At the Guadalajara Fake Market (#6)

- This Guadalajara market is not only the largest market in Mexico, but the largest market in Latin America, period: San Juan de Dios. This is where you come for bargaining. You can find everything from vegetables to video games to Jesus figurines there. But it also has a dark side - an entire floor is devoted to, shall we say, slightly more unsavory goods, like knockoff clothing, bootleg movies and illegal genres of porn. And to top it all off, it's rumored that half the stalls are paying protection money to the Jalisco cartel. Bargaining at the cartel's fake market? Let's do it.

Bahaha wtf why are they selling bestiality next to Xbox games
“The graphics on this horse is photo realistic…waitaminute this isnt a cut scene from Red Dead Redemption!”
@@AB-ot3bm lmao
Mexican markets are overpriced, I can attest to that as Mexican.
Suppose on top of their rent they have to pay a cartel, so they have to charge more yo customers.
@@DMWBN3 cartel this cartel that, no man these are just people trying to get by
they must be sellin crazier things than that
Ain't nothing like good ole big shopping markets in all countries! Real or fake 😅❤
MEXICAN AIR FORCE ONES AND FAKE TVS OR BUST
❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed the video but the misleading title draws you in.
That guy that tried to cover the camera would have punched him if he stayed any longer, and maybe that guy that asked if he thought his stuff was stolen too… 👀
This guy will never get scam in mexico i do the same thing lol
This dude definitely has balls of steel or he has no perception of danger i.e. (crazy). I would never go to Mexico by myself let alone a market where you obviously stand out. You could've been kidnapped and tortured with the confidence you have, halfway speaking like a local. I have admiration for you but fear at the same time. You could have easily gotten murked with a gory video that follows if they felt like it. Fuck that. I suppose the fact that he speaks their language somewhat deters the pissed off vendors when he tries to bargain. It's not worth it man stop going to Central America.
Guadalajara is just one giant market. no zoning laws.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of the best market in the world. And by that, I don't mean the part with the vegetables.
Hahaha
Imagine paintball in this market 😂🤣 without civilians ofc
My friend sent me here a few years ago when we visited her. Definitely one of the highlights.
We also got very lost in all the courtyards trying to get out lol.
Libertad or San Juan de Dios market the place where the famous boxer Canelo used to sell self made Beverages for living before becoming famous
I wouldnt be brave enough to accuse people of having fake merchandise while simultaneously filming. They think youre trying to get evidence of fraud.
Not really, when they say it's not fake they really mean it, there is a lot of merchandise that come from contraband from China or even the US. They get it cheaper as they dont py taxes. Still it could be fake but they are not aware, it is easier that way than actually trying to make copies of the products manually.
They got mad more because he was trying to get cheaper prices in a quite rude way . Like they know he has the money to pay and still he proposed to pay less than half of the price when they were offering the normal price as it is not a touristic place
Well if you watch enough you Tommy is out of his mind LOL
If your're interested in visiting this place...
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
this place is NOT tourist-friendly
It is a great place for mexican tourists, and experienced traverlers,
you can do all your shopping in one place and get great prices.
but this place is known for having tons of pick-pockets
this place is also not family friendly, its super busy, packed, hectic, overwhelming, and a small child could easily get lost there.
its also HUGE, so kids could get tired very quickly.
ALL NAME BRAND CLOTHING IS FAKE.
they will never admit to it, because it is illegal to sell fake merch. the government turns a blind eye to it, because it provides a lot of income to the locals.
but they only ignore it as long as its not very obvious.
Every once in a while, the government will put on a show, by shutting down whole markets and taking away all the counterfeit merchandize. this can happen for multiple reasons such as political reasons, or pressure from multi-national corporations.
so yes, the sellers are gonna be aggressive towards the white guy filming and asking too many questions because he might be a secret shopper for nike or addidas. admitting that the clothing is fake could cost them their entire livelyhood.
in the video, they make the distinction between "original" and "low cost"
LOW COST = Knock-off = very cheap copy that's very noticeably fake, and costs 1/4 of the price, this is where you get your "addlas, Nikey, Tonny Hilfiger, Pumo, Vercase, Etc. " this merch is technically legal, since they're not exact copies.
ORIGINAL = Bootleg = very high quality copy that looks exactly like the original, and is meant to trick the buyer. they'll sell it to you at very close to the original price, but still at a discount.
the locals know its all fake, this is where they go shopping when they want to appear like they can afford name brand stuff.
another reason this isn't tourist friendly is that the vendors are very persistent, and if you're shy, and cant utter a stern "no" they'll keep you at their shop for a very long time.
for white people this shouldn't be an issue, because they cant be as persuasive with the language barrier, but if you're Hispanic, they'll do a lot of hard selling.
the building itself is an architectural marvel, and its very beautifully designed. it was a state-of-the-art building when it was made. but you can barely see the building itself nowadays. I grew up there in the 90's and back then it already looked like a fabella, that's the best way to describe it. but if you look for pictures of it when it was new, it was a beautiful building.
if you want to go to Guadalajara and do a lot of shopping, the place to go is TLAQUEPAQUE, a quaint town, 15 minutes away from this place.
that place IS, designed for tourists
its very beautiful, clean, pristine, and you can find most of the things you find here (at least the things that a tourist would want to buy)
the prices will be 30-40% higher, but you dont have to worry about your purse/gold chain/hat/glasses/phone getting snatched.
its also a lot more fun to navigate, beautiful to look at, has great food places, street shows, sculptures, and its a lot more calm.
they also have tourist guides and police officers trained in assisting tourists.
Bueno... la gente tampoco es tonta. Sabe que los productos originales estan mucho mucho mucho mas caros... La gente que los compra realmente no son engañadas lo compran muchas veces para aparentar y/o para no comprarse lo peor de lo peor.
Creo que debiste ser más cuidadoso en preguntar si las cosas eran falsas y además llevar una cámara te pudiste haber metido en algún problema no se sabe con esa gente
5:35 that was a sick ass burn man Lmfao
i subed just for that
yeah It was well slick.
Had me 🤣
ANDAAALLEEEEE
To Answer your question if you spent 5 minutes at all 3,400 stalls that would come to 17,000 minutes (divided by 60 for hours) would be 283 hrs (divided by 24 hrs in a day) would be roughly 11.7 days. So to spend 5 minutes at every stall would take you over 11 and a half days!
To answer your question of how long you'd spend in there at 5 minutes per stall - 283 hours.
2:49 "That's not true...I've seen some big women" LMAO
Pretty cool video! You know what you’re doing and confident! I’d just be careful with the manner you talk to some people but overall good
Wtf?! These dudes really put up a sign showing they sell DVDs with zoophilia in it?!
This is my experience:
In Guadalajara, vendors inflate the price around 8% to 10% on average.
In China vendors inflate the price around 10x to 20x on average.
Big difference.
So, no, they don't bargain like Chinese because they don't inflate the price like Chinese.
One time in China, a vendor wrote down that she wanted USD $10 from me. I wrote down USD $1. She said OK immediately; that's a sign that I still overpaid a bit much. If she had taken a second before saying yes then I overpaid only a tiny bit.
I have never been to Mexico but I am from the north of England and I really miss those type of markets. In my home town of Manchester we had two just like that, minus the adult movies. One called the underground market which was literally under the main shopping street and was like going into a subway station and the other part which was attached to the main shopping mail. All disappeared over a couple of decades ago and have been replace with chain stores, so dull now.
You still have a few in London but much more regulated than they were...Del Boy and Rodney days are over
no mams no habia visto este video men.... la verdad tuviste demasiada suerte de que no te pasara nada te lo juro! tomalo tranquilo en especial en tianguis y estos mercados por que la gente no es tan abierta como en otras comunidades y solo es precio y beneficio.
291 hours or 12 days too visit each stall for 5 minutes :)
Creo que debiste ser más cuidadoso en preguntar si las cosas eran falsas y además llevar una cámara te pudiste haber metido en algún problema no se sabe con esa gente
you have a complicated relationship with the name tommy...I WONDER WHY. lol 😂😂😂😂😂
I wondered the same thing
@@marqueshughes3367
His name is Tom or Thomas. Probably hates being called Tommy. Without her knowing that's his name though, it comes off as if he has an ex named Tommy or something
I have a complicated relationship with that name 😭
Weeeey que pedo con la gente vendiendo zoofilia como si nada, puto mundo podrido 😭
Que parte Que yo no veo
Did you say dress like a Narco or a Naco 🤣
After you buy the “real” red cap, she takes one from the rake display to replace the one you bought.
Tommy no te gusta ? No tengo una relación complicada con ese nombre 🤣🤣🤣
Poor man's, Anthony Boredane
People still buy porn in Mexico?
That was not a happy place! 😅
11.8 days if you spent 5 minutes in each stall. ;)
Came to the comments section to see how many hours it would be and I wasn't disappointed 😅
If this is the mercado by a big church. There is a place that sells tortas de pierna that are bomb
I think he said “saludos a la cámara” at the end
11.8 days :)
people still buy porn in 2021? Don't they have internet there? lol
some people are too poor to have internet they cannot pay for this service but most do have internet
I wanna own my porn when the world goes to hell and the Chinese hijack our satellites and there’s no internet. I’ll be like a Mad Max warlord with the only porn on my block. Who run barter town????
It wasn't me, it was a spooky ghost
They do but bandwidth is terrible. Internet speeds are late 2000’s DSL speed at best.
I would love for american prices would be this low
They can be... If you find fake shit lol. Canal street or flea markets throughout the country
It's all shit merchandise. So what were you saying?
for fake items its quite expensive, especially the shitty quality
The prices fit the income. Both are low there
@@Itsyougirlkinley I have bought two fake lacoste polos from this same market for $15 total, the collar is backwards on one but for the price the quality is good
I love how you low ball them they over price items that the same thing i do when i go to mexico.
It’s massive and also a fire trap
Love your vids but personally I wouldn't be so tight with my money in a foreign country. These people are trying to make money. (Except for the beastiality store. That can get get burned down.)
Sure, in my defense I had very little money at the time I filmed this. Still wouldn't patronize the beastiality store though
@@SabbaticalTommy where are you going to next? How about the Polynesian islands?
they are overcharging him cuz they see he’s american, it’s extremely common and it happened to me when i went to Guadalajara
Yeah, but as tourist we also need to pay attention to not overpay everything because we destroy local prizes everything. It needs to be in balance. :)
I'LL BE TIGHT WITH MY MONEY EVERYWHERE IF I SO PLEASE
bro its not "filmar"
that would be to sign & even then it'd be "firmar"
to say "film" *or* "record" it would translate into "grabar" peace my dude
hahaha I was in that square I'm from Guadalajara always to those from the United States if they apply it and ugly so have a trusted friend who is from Guadalajara so they don't tell this gringo we took money from him
I love going to that central market..
Buy a bunch candy sarapes other cool things..an lonches which is a huge subsandwich.
3,400 + 5 minutes = 17,000 = 283.3 hours = 11.8 days
Hey Sabbatical, what is the name of the outrosong?
About 12 days if stopped at each stall for 5 minutes lol
Be 11 days if ya spent 5 min @ each stall lol
That market is a major ripoff

5:35 lmfao
12.15 days ; 291.67 hours
hah ! nice ! been there..and china...in china they dont give a F ..no problems filming there at all!! they even admit to all of it being fake ..lol XD well..i had that experience anyways...i love doing these markets...and i love your channel..gives my mind peace :)
Tks, for sharing.
3,400 X 5 =17,000 Min if im not wrong
Almost 12 days.
Lol....I can get an Oakland A's hat in Oakland near BART for $5.
Broo you are crazy, you're gonna get alot of back talk in those little swap meets, I wouldn't recommend even playfully back talking with the locals they don't play games out there you can get jumped and who knows what worst could happen, recording inside those shops have consequences it's not like America alot of illegal activity goes on in there the cops don't give 2 on whatever happens
Wow!
That was crazy man
🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍😍
It'd take you about twelve days. I never did lockdown or wear a mask.
"150? What you think they're stolen?"
Yeah well, they are.
No they are not
They're not lol
Dude was tripping that bad over 100 pesos… lol saying it was going for 250
@@cesarperez10 where are they from? (Just curious)
I'm from Mexico and yes most of them they are
Im thinking about following you...but im not very sure because you bargain (regateas) too much i think XD.Saludos desde Viladecans (Barcelona,Spain) Our weekly gipsy market has the average prices that you are obtaining with your communcations skills XD
Eres un tío con un par de cojones (balls) as we use to say here.Great video
Awesome videos!
bro that was pretty cringe when you said, Im going to leave and then asked "are you not going to chase me?" LOL!!!! no mames wey
Well hey it's a negotiation tactic that works in Chinatowns around the world haha
That part was cute. I love his humor
@@sassytheclassy_rose9778 na, it came off disrespectful with him raising his hand. That kind of gesture in Mexico can be translated as, "chinga tu madre"
@@pvdg3515 yeah lmao
@@SabbaticalTommy Well... hey, you are not in Chinatown or dealing with Chinese people. Next time you are in Mexico you need to show more respect, not everyone will tolerate your entitled bs.
I've never negotiated in mexico it's not too common there.
Yes it is lol
Are masks pretty much optional?
This makes me not want to visit Mexico 😕
Great video but sorry to say I agree with the man at 6:18. I've owned a business most of my life. Some people think store owners get their merchandise for free. Asking for discounts is rude. Bottom line,...if you can't afford something then don't buy it
Depends on the place and what the local custom is, right? And when you know that stuff is fake and the shop owner knows that you know that it's fake then some bargaining happening at times should hardly come as a surprise to any party involved. I think that dude at 6:18 was just having a bad day.
@@rebjorn79 He was mad rude, imagine talking to customers like that.
It’s not being rude it’s simple know its fake and trying to make absurd amount of money when they know its fake. You can get those shirts for around 7 usd like he ask almost everywhere around the world or even lower. They see a tourist and they want to make money . It’s simply like that in most fake markets.
YOU NEED TO LEARN ABOUT BRANDS TO GO AND HUNT REAL GOOD FAKE STUFF IN THOSE MARKETS...ALL THE THINGS YOU SAW AND ASKED FOR WERE CRAP...LOL GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME !
WHY ARE YOU IN THEIR COUNTRY, OFFENDING PEOPLE??
Have you seen how they treat each other lol
@@Just.A.T-Rex they treat each other better than in the us unless u a fkn narco choppin heads off
