Having never been in the market for such things, what price would the fake Hermes Birkin bag in the example URL typically sell for? Either on aliexpress or similar or in a domestic retail market in China? The fake certainly seems good enough to pass casual inspection from a distance.

Anywhere from $50 for a bad rep, $500 for something that looks pretty good, and ~$1,300+ for something that’ll pass for the real thing. (Source: wife is fascinated by the rep industry)

1300 is when you get scammed. Most likely the 500 already gets you near perfect replicas.

Adidas has unseen Chinese competitor that sells any Adidas made in any size throughout Europe. They advertise with Google but the webshop images are just a couple of pixels too small to do a decent reverse image search.
