hi everyone Simon here Bangkok Chronicles don't know what number today
I'm going to move away from Chinatown come back into platinum wholesale
clothing market when my condo was a lot of subscribers have asked me about
football shirts now but I mentioned before there was some large African
ladies downstairs at the bottom of the condos in the shops who was shipping
lots of clothes one morning whilst I was having breakfast in the carpark section
of the condos I don't chat into one of these ladies
and she we talking about football shirts she invited me down to their shop and
explains that she was buying all these football shirts now in Asia you can buy
counterfeit almost perfect replica football shirts now in my own country in
the UK recently bought one from my stepson and it was about 50 pounds
expensive back then 15 years ago you could buy one of these perfect replica
shirts for three hundred and fifty bars which was five pounds then make seven
and a half US dollars now they're 10 pound so twelve dollars and she showed
me all these shirts she was buying and she was buying all the rector shirts and
shipping them to Africa and other places but I'll explain that I didn't want to
buy and sell counterfeit products but then I noticed that the shirts a lot of
shirts coming in didn't have all the badges on they were the same material
identical the different color shirts that but there was nothing on there's no
footballers names there was no numbers on them there was
nothing saying what club they were and she was printing this stuff on herself
all this price machinery apparently and she was getting badges
and putting them on herself to make them cheaper and better and that got me
thinking and that point I asked her where I could get these shirts from with
nothing on them and she pointed me straight to a little back door of a shop
didn't press now a quick visit I deploy these years for a hundred and fifty bars
any of these all these football club shirts the colors so played shirts blue
white red whatever orange but nothing Martin no marks on them so they're just
apparel they're just shirts such as colored shirts nothing wrong with that
150 some points 200 baht but anyway they were keep his chips that sparked
something in my mind the handbags I was doing homage handbags with no items on
them saying that they were leave it on whatever just look similar I jumped on
the internet did lots of research research I've looked at all these
football shirts and at that time there was really nothing much on the shirts
apart from some printing on them or embroidered badges in those days then
Holograms came out later but even the Holograms were allowed to sticker on a
little badge I investigated the internet and I did it over a few weeks of
searching and talking to people I fired some emails off to companies but could
not locate all these badges and things and stick on numbers and letters that
you could iron on but I then found a company in the UK this company sold all
those letters and the different sizes that all the little packages for the
football clubs even the Holograms badges the you stitch on and the embroidered
patches from the main clubs and after talking to them
they were every badge they sold they paid royalties to the football clubs
they were all aboveboard and anybody bought royalties were paid now me being
nosy and asking them the questions and things I fired emails off to football
clubs an eBay only one Football Club came back to me and that was Tottenham
Hotspur so Thank You Tottenham they came back to me and said I could if I was
buying badges from this company which had registered with them and they were
getting royalties I could sew those badges onto any shares apparel any item
I wanted because I owned the badges and I paid the royalties and I explained to
them in a another email that these shares look the same as their football
shirt same colors and all the rest I'm serving the badges separately for people
to sew on would that contradict because this counterfeit product something no
not at all buying the badges and pen they're also
on the badges you've stitched them on well yet the person who buys the shirts
ditch the lawn it was all legal aboveboard and they would have no
problem with me selling the shirts on eBay with this badge as a pack providing
I put all the disclaimers in and explained the laws once I have that
email from them I copied it after eBay pictures of the shirts pictures the
badges yep it's no problem you it's all copyright it's all you know paying
royalties that was like hitting the jackpot there I was living in platinum
market all these shear plane - it's available for pennies my only problem
was logistics all the badges I want to bring the UK shirts were in Thailand my
customers were all over the world so I made an investment and I bought and it's
quite those badges were quite expensive you know the badges were a set of badges
for one shirt and all the iron-on stickers were five pang
but with calculations I was thinking people are still going to buy these if I
put a shirt for three pound and badges for five eight plus postage he was
packed a 1012 pound still sell under 20 people will pay or maybe it will be 15
and if 5 pound we share profit you could sell a lot of shirts even if you cut it
down to a couple of paint so I ordered about 10 packs of each foot for the top
20 football clubs bought all the shirts 10 of each to wait for the stuff to come
from UK all the badges and stuff not only took about 10 days shirts
photographed everything up on eBay and I made a set template for quick uploading
of all the shirt and I listed all the shirts in the right habit and again I
fired an email to eBay with one of my adverts to see if it was all okay and
yes in those days eBay used to talk to you not now but then they did it was a
nightmare today to get all of eBay on to talk to somebody but in those days all
fine so there it was I had football shirts
what shirts I had football badges they were simple to iron on the badges or
stitch on let's say it was about 11 pounds well for argument's sake let's
say it was 10 pound for shirt and badges shipped off to most places in the world
I put them on and I had 10 of each one of each club on with 10 available on
ebay.com or around the world I've got loads of
inquiries loads of questions load of questions from other eBay is saying you
can't sell this and you and you how can you do this and lots of complaints but
those above board I know prompt eBay at all and I put them
on eBay and I price them at about 20 pound each and they I solved a couple
but they weren't selling well I did my research at that time the
original shirts were only about 28 pound wasn't enough saving for people and I
ended up dropping the price and I put them down to I think it was 14 pound 99
and then as soon as I did that bank they just exploded all the ones I had about
hundred shows it get sold within three or four days completely gone couldn't
believe it and I was making that okay back three
pound 50 shirts after the shipping on average but that was about 350 pound
profit you know that was back then that was twenty thousand bad plus and it was
100 meters from my condo an order over the line for the UK company for the
badges absolutely all aboveboard through the post office and customs you're only
saying sending one sheet at a time he was like in a jiffy bag it was no
problem it was amazing so today can you do it
today yes if you buy a plain shirt it's plain apparel another example you could
go to press down market you can buy a tailored shirt that looks like one of
the top brands and a lot of the top brands okay they've got a label in the
back here and on the top of your pocket they might have some initials and things
you can buy those badges and pay royalties on those badges there's
different companies motocross motorcycle racing shirts were the same I even
dabbled with those you could buy the badges from the same company in Britain
there was Formula One stuff there was all the sports around the world I even
tried an American baseball shirts they went well and it was all from the badges
from the one company you'd go on everything was there go on find the
shirt the tailored shirts I did dabble a bit
and diesel was the brand and you could buy a badge and pay the copyright
royalties for the badge and it goes on the top of the shirt and they they were
pennies again so you're not selling counterfeit products you're selling a
made in showing a made in Malaysia made in Thailand shirts
yep buying badges you paying the royalties you put the two together and
you're selling them online I did that with the shirts and all the different
shirts right through my two years and I made a lot of money with them I ended up
buying hundreds of patches badges at a time from this company in the UK and I
shipped thousands of shirts all over the world everything was written on the ebay
advert it told people everything and how they put the badges on there's pictures
there was pictures of the royalty declaration stemming from this company
they gave me permission to put all their details on because it generated them
more sales but adverts looked fabulous it was all about appearance and it
looked great and the quality of the pictures really good made an absolute
killing on shirts and you still can today so any of you are looking for the
products it took me a while but there's a way around selling online with shirts
that look like football shirts and stuff that's all from platinum market those
shirts if you're going to buy quantity hundreds of shirts at a time you go down
to Bobe market which i think i've marked on my interactive map 11 o'clock at
night through to the back five in the morning the shirts come in and you buy a
bag of 100 shares at a time price goes down a half price because you buy the
quantity tailored shirts as well but you end up by on one side
one color same as the shit so you'd end up with thousands of shirts
it's then the storage problem but these African ladies had the shops and that's
what they were doing they were buying hundreds of shirts thousands put them
all together apparel there you go now the company in the UK I was buying these
badges off that the copyright paid also did all the badges for the handbags now
I didn't go down that route I could have quite easily but if I'm not mistaken you
could buy the badges from this company get the plain homage handbags sell them
together not put them on yourself but sell them together the customer to
decide if they're going to put those on there's a possibility there and purses
wallets very good chance you could do that as well anyway so we're away from
Chinatown today we're in platinum in 2017 Platinum our key is still got all
the little hidden alleyways and all the underground cellars but now in Bangkok
they're building huge mouths all round platinum they're pushing these little
shops inside aircon but all those little shops are still there in the new mouth
but you have to talk and get to know these sellers and look they've usually
got catalogs as well you can look through pictures we'll do another story
on price now because another huge part they're issues
and yes there's a market on shoes to be made money to be made and also another
one is the rock how would you describe it all the musicians around the world
the rock artists and Superstars and singers have like ac/dc and all the
heavy rock bands hatchets and
same design shirt saying badges innings you they're all there in platinum as
well but they also do all the replicas identical ones but don't tell those the
whole section by I found and if you're a punk rocker which is years ago
there's stack of shops at the back of platinum that sells all the metal gear
and nose rings in the earrings and all that punk rock stuff remember seeing
that recently and then another subject will be hats big big market we could go
on for weeks with all these different products but I know some of you guys are
out there trying to find products perhaps you may try to find products
that you can sell online hopefully this will point in the right direction not
those fancy pictures today but thanks for watching and again that interactive
map shows some of the bits for you and that's on my website Lander smiles
Thailand comm YouTube menu that's not pointed it and then a little men your
pop-up interactive map you can have a look and zoom in the moment is just got
the areas where I'm talking about I will add more to it as I learn how to thanks
