They catch people selling this at the Opa Locka flee market and the Swap Shop all the time. This stuff has also been seized at the Port of Miami. It is usually the Asians involved in this.

In a lot of cases the company in Asia has 2 production lines. One for the
legit goods and one for the gray market. Usually at different locations.
want to buy a RULOX watch LOL

You are right on. I have seen some of those as well.

A couple of weeks ago the Broward County Sheriff's Office caught a vendor at the Swap Shop selling copies of Nikes. There were various sizes and styles and the quantity they had was unbelievable. Most cases in South Florida are copies of the real items and not the gray area. I saw more gray area items in the Toronto area.
Illegals buy a lot of the knock off items. My daughter would tell me how the illegals had Louis Vuitton or Coach purses, Dior or Chanel sunglasses, Puma or Nike sneakers, etc. I told her that most of it is fake stuff.
