How do I buy a cheap fake Rolex outside of New York?

I want to buy a $30 fake Rolex like Dapwell does in this Vice article. When I look around for this stuff on the Internet, I find a lot of overpriced tacky junk, and things that look vaguely like real Rolexes, well, from what I can tell people try to pass those off on ebay as genuine. You could order from China but for way too much. I don't care if it's a real counterfeit or not. It doesn't have to say Rolex on it. I'm in Portland and a thriving trade in counterfeit goods isn't among this city's many fine advantages. Please help. I am desperate.

Maybe hire someone on Taskrabbit to go to Canal Street and ship it to you?

Best answer: I see these at thrift stores all the time. The really big goodwill regularly has at least two. The smaller stores seem to have at least one every week.

A lot of times they still have the little peel-off plastic on the back and stuff, even.
