It's A Steal! Strike Bargains At City's 'Chor Bazaar', Buy At Your Own Risk

Rock-Bottom Prices For Array Of 2nd-Hand & Refurbished Stuff Make Market Crowd-Puller

New Delhi: If you are a brand freak but don’t have the money to splurge on Gucci or Louis Vuitton handbags, Levi’s or Wrangler jeans or even Dior or Chanel beauty products, pick up your shopping bag, head for the Walled City this Sunday and shop to your heart’s content. But this all ‘low-cost, high-brand shopping’ comes with a rider – the goods you buy may look genuine but don’t count on the quality.

This is the Capital’s very own ‘chor bazaar’ where the prices of the products being sold – from a needle to fancy electronics— are a steal. Business thrives on second-hand stuff, factory and retail rejects and, as you may have guessed, items procured through not-so-honest means which gives the bazaar its unsavoury reputation. That is hardly a deterrent for the bargain hunter.

The market has been popular for years like its namesake in Mumbai, where, people say, that if you ever lose anything, you can find it being hawked there. Besides residents, tourists too flock to this place. It had earlier been shifted to Ring Road but has for long been reinstated in the Walled City.
