bad posts ahead!!! posted:i think i got the twisbi knockoff you’re talking about. ink kept getting past the plunger and that made me nervous, so i retired it before i ever really used it. the nib was actually pretty good, though It was this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32833677894.html in grey, EF nib (non-hooded) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33021102818.html in rosewood, hooded nib - was also nice to write with but feels cheap as hell. I don't know what the body is made of, nothing approaching wood or even wood-adjacent.

If they're silicone they should be able to handle up to 450 - 500 degrees (F). Hot wax I've used silicon molds for white metal with no issues. *It is from Ali, after all.

I need a small guitar amp. I know someone in high school who had one that was like a 6-8 inch size. Does anyone know if ali has a reasonable version of that? Looks like amazon runs about $40 but they seem to have sketchy reviews.

Shibawanko posted:it has significantly increased my real purchasing power You mean the braid? That's hosed up. I order from some foreign component store (along with components) and it's not 70 cents but it's not 7 euros either. That's half the price of my soldering iron  e: What the gently caress I went and checked (it was Transfer Multisort Elektronik) and yeah it totally can cost 7€ a roll. I'm sure I didn't pay that much but then I rarely desolder anything so I guess it was actually like ten years ago I last bought some. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Oct 5, 2020 |

Check the listing...oh, that 'colour' is out of stock.

Ebay sellers have been pulling the same poo poo with one $0.01 variant for years. It would be easy to fix by forcing sort by price to utilize the highest price variant in the listing, but no one's implemented it because they have no reason to disincentivize the practice.

What I realized about Ebay after I engaged in selling something on it, is that every aspect of it is a scam. You as the end purchaser can get some deals, but sellers are beholden to Paypal and all sorts of cuts that Ebay gets for their service...meanwhile they'll happily put up scam auctions and bait and switch bullshit because as long as their paying the percentage, gently caress the end customer.

There's definitely been an uptick in this - every webcam on Ali manages to list a variant that's always the same cheap 720p budget webcam, just thrown in to bring the price down. There's also an increasing number of widgets that are "ONLY $5!!! (*$15 postage)", with the vendor clearly making their markup on the mail.

Or they are all the same thing but one is cheaper... but you buy the cheaper one and they'll say there is a problem, they offer a refund via Paypal, you say no, find out they fake numbered you and eventually you get refund (of $0.01 because you used a coupon). Those bastards!
