Hi! I'm 3O and this is my big, gay condo.



Also, Aliexpress is cool and good. I've bought some Nike reps that are almost perfect and have lasted as long or longer as the real thing. Also bought some "Yeti" cups that had very real looking boxes, tags and decals. Also bought some other odds and ends for motorcycles and RC stuff.

For the few goons doing the sex, reusable condoms can save you lots of money :

There are quite a few items that are also decent products that are original items that have been picked up by American/European companies. They then have the factory make minor differences and mark it up. My latest example, I bought a 240w/12a dual lipo battery charger that has been available for a while under the original name on aliexpress for $100. Now, an American company, Reedy, imports and sells the same unit with their name, new color, and a non-Chinglish manual for $180 or so.

Doing something very wrong. Cheap stuff everywhere and free shipping on much of it.

I got one of these as a stocking stuffer a couple years ago that came with a 12-1 tool that is the size of a credit card. I've actually used both when I was out riding and didn't have regular tools on me . For $.49, its a good value.

Is there a secret to buying off AliExpress that doesn't involve scanning all my ID cards and poo poo and sending it to them? I just, you know, don't feel like doing that.

I've bought quite a few items from Aliexpress and have never had to do anything like that. Lol

Checked the last 20 pages and couldn't find anything relevant, anyone bought any Bluetooth buds\in-ear style headphones that were worthwhile? Bonus points for a high IP rating or a microphone. Cheers!

If you're stuck on getting them directly from China, I don't know, but I have a pair of Magicbuds from Amazon. They're easy to pair, last quite a while between charges and at $27 they're tough to beat. I keep a pair at work and jam out during my prep period.

I just bought a knockoff of Lego Batman Movie Bat Cave 70909 for $34 compared to $80+ for a legit set. My wife and I have been taking turns helping our twins put them together and it's pretty much a 1:1 copy. Quality is good and the only complaint is that they aren't bagged in numbered groups like most of the legit sets which makes it a bit more difficult to find the pieces you need.

One of the twins wants remote control Lego train that retails for $225 or so, but Aliexpress and Dhgate has it for ~$65 which is a little easier to swallow. If we get it, I'll report back. I'm sure the blocks are fine I'm just curious about the electronics.

Nothing is cheap on Aliexpress anymore.

I've bought a few sets of knock off Legos and saved a few hundred dollars so far. The quality is good and the instructions are fine. They're usually about 1/3-1/2 the cost of legit sets.

What the heck kind of silicone rings :confused:

E: like, a ring for your fingat made of silicone? Never thought they were a popular item but Google says otherwise. But still wouldn't you just need eight, ten at most?

If someone talks non-stop about exercise, look at their fingers and they probably have one on. Everyone I've seen wearing them are either the vegans of the exercise world, Pinterest addicts, or both.
