    As in louis vuitton or Hulk?

    I imagine the Hulk is just as scarce out there.

    I'd be surprised bid you picked one up cheaper than the one on sales corner.

    Is there a particular reason you think NYC would be better than UK or EU?

    I guess exchange rate will help but but you could easily be stung at customs if not lucky.

    You aren't going to get one there unless at a grey dealer with a huge mark up on RRP. Also VAT to pay at Heathrow.

    And New York sales tax which adds 9% to the ticket price.

    Surely it’s been years since you’re able to walk in to an LV without purchase history/being offered one in the safe...

    It's been years since it was cost-effective to buy in NY too. I'm actually old enough to remember when it was $2.50 to the £... I was going over there twice a year at the time, and never came back without a camera, a couple of suits or some other self-indulgent nonsense.

    Still have some of the 8 pairs of CK jeans I bought there in '98. Bit baggy for me now unfortunately.

    If you look on Chrono24 and filter for US, you’ll see asking prices over there although, as mentioned, you’d have VAT to add. (You could probably avoid/ be refunded local sales taxes.)
