While China has cracked down a lot on imitations of famous brands, there are still many bargains to be had on great products at Shanghai's "copy market" such as the one Inside metro Line 2's, Shanghai Science & Technology Museum, 2000 Shiji Da Dao, near Yingchun Lu.
Of course, you must negotiate to get the deals! If you've been to one of these markets, you are very familiar with the process. You casually find something that catches your eye. Your interest piques until you finally ask, "How much is this?" The sales person nicely pulls out a calculator, enters the price and shows it to you with some reinforcement of "best price for you," "great price for this quality," etc. From here the fun begins. The amount of negotiation you can do is very dependent on several factors such as how many you want, the type of product and even the time of day. I won't try to give a detailed account of how much discount you can expect for every factor, but good negotiation comes down to some very simple practices:
