The following are the reasons for the sellers of Chor Bazaar to sell cheap stuff:

1. Most of the goods sold in this market are "Second Hand".
2. There is no way that the government can levy tax on the goods sold over here because the goods are brought directly from the manufacturer.
3. A lot of these goods which are sold in Chor Bazaar Delhi are diverted from the donations given by the citizens of wealthy western countries.
4. The is no official confirmation that the goods sold here are stolen. But i personally feel that it is a million dollar question.

About Chor Bazaar:
This is the place where one can find curios and most of the wanted items at prices, which seem so unreal. Don’t be carried away with its name. It is a good place to see many unusual goods on sale.

Great shopping
Behind the Raudat Tahera Mosque is a beautiful old Saifi mosque. Next to which is Gujjar Street where a heap of knick-knack and artifacts lie for anyone's bargaining. This is Chor Bazaar, where you can haggle and get a Gucci look-alike at an Indian price. Smuggled goods abound. Chor Bazaar literally means "Thieves Market". The adventurer buyer may come across curios and quaint collector's items and may even chance upon a genuine antique. This is Mumbai's famous Thieves Market where bargain-hungry tourists rummage for Ming vases at throwaway prices. The main avenue is Mutton Street, flanked by rows of small antique shops that look like musty attics and sell just about anything from old ship parts, grandfather clocks and gramophones, to crystal chandeliers and old English tea sets. Others offer authentic Victorian furniture, wonderful for browsers, antiquarians and restorers. Although bargains are sometimes staggering, most of the shop owners are pretty street smart, and could easily take a self - styled aesthete for a ride. Mutton Street houses unremarkable wares from old English tea sets to antiques to crystal chandeliers. On Fridays owing to the Muslim Sabbath, the stalls shut down but the pavement vendors still abound. You can easily while away an hour or two browsing through these wares, though you need a practised eye to distinguish between the genuine and the spurious.

Interesting
No one is clear as to how this market got its name except that once a Queen called Victoria came to Bombay in her own steamer. Her luggage was carted down and the lady discovered, much to her dismay that her precious violin was missing. After a thorough search the instrument was finally found -- at one of the stalls in Mutton Street (next to Chor Bazaar) so the area came to be known as the Market of Thieves or Chor Bazaar. The genesis of this dwelling can possibly be traced to the days post the World War when poverty stricken families had to hawk their priceless heirlooms for money.

The name itself says "CHOR " it means stolen

It is a place designed to sell stolen goods and thus the prices are abnormally cheap!

UMM you can find everything there, but I would advise you to go to somewhere more 'legal.' This is, because if the police find out that you have bought something from there, then they would probably do an investigation on you. aur iis jamele mein parne ko kisko time hai, na?

HOPE THAT HELPED!
