Default Going to Hong Kong

As the title states, my father is going to Hong Kong in about a week or so, I know there have to be some crazy deals over there.

If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know, he is bringing a suitcase to fill up with purchases

what do you want to buy? need product category(s).

if you're referring to the illegal CD/DVDs, they switch every couple of weeks. but if you're talking about stuff like RC helicopter, then yes it's about 1/2 price

i would NEVER EVER buy any electronics outside of the US. believe it or not, if we have the particular model here, it's almost guaranteed that we'll have it cheaper than anyone else in the world. if you bought the stuff in HK and it breaks, many times you're SOL.

I bought a watch over there for about 15% lower than the lowest price I could find online. If you know exactly what you want, there are deals to be had. Good luck.
