As the name suggests, its mostly stolen goods. You can find A-Z items. Almost everything can be found in the market. But need to be very careful while buying anything. Lot of duplicate and defective items. Shopping at chor bazaar could be quite an experience.

Situated on the pavement bang opposite Red fort, it extends for 1.5-2 km till Delhi gate, Daryaganj. Nowadays 'chor' (thief) is not valid, as hardly any stolen items are on sale. But don't worry, the shopkeepers have not changed their principles, it is just that they have graduated to fakes.
Fake eatables, shoes, clothes, sports goods, bags, electronic items are all on sale. Forage and purchase at your own risk.
Beware: It is really crowded, and louts, pickpockets and ruffians have a field day.
Tip: Lots of unique snacks are on sale, though with dodgy hygiene.

This market is named Chor bazar.
The re-sale of stolen products basically electronic good has earned this name for this market.
I visited this place once and I found good number of things available for sale. The market is live with visitors.
This market is mostly informal in nature and most of the shops and stalls are on the roadside or on footpaths.
A good place to see how informal market operates.

This is a very old market and has seen decades after decades. Earlier it was behind red fort but from past 10-12years it has been shifted towards jama masjid. The market is unique in nature and you never know what you are gonna get it from here. It may have anything from a needle to a laptop . It's full of products which are Theft... Duplicate... Defective.. Good...fake.. Unpredictable...

Chor Bazaar is an out of the world place to visit, especially for foreigners in Delhi. It is situated in the Old Delhi area and takes place every Sunday morning around 4 AM to 10-11 AM. I personally recommend people to not buy items if they are looking for a branded thing. Most of the stuff here is duplicate or good quality copy and not actually stolen. But the experience is awesome.
