Anywhere from 20-40 dollars.
They have taken them off the street and now ladies walk around with pictures of them. If you are interested they will take you inside their shops. Where you will be guided behind fake walls to the stash. This is done to elude the cops.
Canal Street vendors have changed recently, so finding the bags with Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Kate Spade logos are not as easy to find as before. But hang around the intersection with Broadway and ask the vendor if they have those bags. Their usual answer is "no," but promise them you'll buy one, and they'll open up a secret compartment with the bags you want. Act fast, because they'll close the compartment if they suspect a cop is nearby.
If purses are not your thing, look for $5 DVDs of movies still in theaters, $10 Oakley sunglasses, $15 Rolex watches, car and home stereos, $5 computer programming books (complete with missing pages and misprints), and fragrances. Of course, some of this stuff is obviously fake, some are really good "knock-offs" of the real thing, and some might even be stolen (or "hot"). But whoever receives your gift does not need to know that, especially because you don't even know where it came from.

Chinatown, around Canal Street. You need to ask discreetly one of the sale people in the back of their stores. Then, they sneak you into a back room where all the good stuff is, one lady took us half a block away, upstairs, down hallways, it was wild. My niece got some great Gucci and other top brand knock offs that looked legit to me; and cheap, about $20 each! Quite the adventure, let me tell you.

Depending on the bag, $20 to $70. Learn to bargain, it helps.

Canal highway is nice, yet additionally around Korea city and the garment district you will locate numerous places... that's around seventh Ave. and Broadway between thirty fourth and twenty 6th highway section.
