These are slam-dunk sales.
Street vendors at the New York Knicks’ ticker-tape parade made a killing peddling bootleg merchandise – raking in thousands of dollars in just a few hours.
Wan Ali, of Los Angeles, California, sold about 40 Knicks-themed bucket hats in just 45 minutes – at a jaw-dropping $100 to $150 a pop.
“We did great, passed $10,000 this morning,” Ali, 53, told The Post from his lower Manhattan outpost. “Better than New Years, because I didn’t freeze and have to pay for a high dollar hotel room.”
Parade attendee D. Spin, of Raleigh, North Carolina, said he got sticker shock at first, but then still opted to snag a hat.
“For $100, I wasn’t sure,” he said “but I was getting so many compliments on this hat [that] I had to come back and get some more stuff for folks back home.”
Yet another vendor was peddling copies of The Post’s Thursday cover — with the wood “KINGS OF THE CITY” — celebrating the championship ceremony for a cool $20.
