My dear Peter,

We don't know if they are selling something or not!
But it is a very interesting capture!

HFF and have a great weekend! Stay safe.

My dear Füsun
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the scene.
I am sure you will remember the bits of coloured string which someone tried to sell us as an 'African good luck charm' on our visit there, (and the very politically incorrect response he got).
Maybe these are not so bad, but probably from the same stable....!!!!
Best Wishes, HFF, a good weekend, and keep safe!!

Hey Peter, It would really be interesting to know what exactly is going on here... I see those 2 objects there on the street., it seems like some sort of games?? well maybe not. the one closer to you has two names on it, "Laura and Sofia" may be one on the end?? the weather seems to be a problem also. A mysterious photo Peter, well captured,

HFF to you and wishes for a good weekend, Stay safe. Sarah

Hi Sarah ,
Thank you very much!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
Like DJ says below, it is a case of buying the trucks of the train with the letters of your name..
BUT there is a lot more to the shady circumstances of what they are selling. Probably the factory rejects bought cheap, and laid out like this so they can wrap them up and walk away should the police come. This area is so well known for tourist scams and crime.
Best Wishes, HFF, a good weekend, and keep safe!!

Hi David ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Yes, buy your name... But buy anything here and you can guarantee two things:
a) It is factory reject, nicked, or simply not worth the money
b) Someone is watching which pocket your money is in so they can nick it!

Of course I know you will have purchased from a legitimate retail outlet who does not sell factory rejects, pays tax, and is not an illegal immigrant!

There are always these dodgy traders around the tourist spots in Paris. They work in organised gangs, waiting for the unwary......

Later in the day I saw another bloke somewhere else selling the same toys, and with the same names on display.. Coincidence, or organised crime?

A good candid shot Peter. The street traders, whether or not they are illegal, haven't chosen the best day for their venture. I would imagine the goods could easily be trampled underfoot with people trying to get out of the rain!

HFF and a good weekend to you

Hi Carol ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
Glad you like it.
I am sure they have been told by their boss to get out and sell stuff, or no food that day!
I am also sure they are very quick to move it, just as they do when the police come! (As I said to Sarah O above)

As you will see from the responses above, I have every reason to believe this is not legit!

No, Laura didn't buy anything, and neither did Sofia, and nobody got scammed, nor had their wallet stolen!!
