The decision to add "Epic" to the beginning of a fucking brush is making me not want it.
edit: since another poster commented the rest of their site looked like aliexpress - i spent 2 minutes and found the damn brush on there too. $1.30 and it even uses some of the same photos. link.
edit 2: holy shit those stock photos are so fucking deceitful (on both aliexpress and prohibitionstyle.com -- although the latter actually posts one at the bottom of the brush next to a quarter). unless all of those models have trump-sized hands, that's not what you'll be receiving.
The netflix show must have grabbed it from hackaday.com, we've been doing stuff like that for years. I just got a Microwave motion detection sensor from aliexpress for $5 that can tell where I am and If I'm moving, though walls up to 5 meters away.
$5.
EDIT even cheaper. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-8GHZ-Microwave-Radar-Sensor-Module-Smart-Sensoring-Switch-6-9M-Home-Control/32602485648.html
It has strange properties but I'm working on getting more data out of it. It can definitely detect motion through walls and knowing the initial state you can tell where people are moving, after a fashion.
It's early days on hacking/learning this device.
Here you go op. Enjoy!

So someone posted these on r/sneakers about a month or so ago and I decided to order. They were like $30 on Aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32664407619/32664407619.html?shortkey=FV3Qvuei&addresstype=600) and I thought why the hell not… Wearing them for the first time today and here are my thoughts:
Color: They are exactly as represented on the Aliexpress page. Love the red/blue knit mix.
Quality: Look, these are $30 Aliexpress jawnz so my expectations were low. That being said they’re not terrible. The fake flyknit/primeknit material is a little stiff, but might need to be broken in. It’s a lot more flyknit than primeknit. The only real quality thing is that the midsole isn’t completely clean and there are some jagged pieces from the mold. You can see it in the pictures. Probably could take some fine sandpaper and knock that right off tho.
Comfort: Now this is what you are probably all wondering about. And I’m sort of grading on a curve because $30 shoes. But honestly? Not bad. The knit upper is light and nice. When I first got them I was really worried about the sole because it was REALLY stiff/hard. But the insole is actually pretty good (plus I could swap it out if I really wanted to ball out on these) and the sole feels like it’s softening and breaking in. The sole looks A LOT like my Cole Haan lunargrand soles, but don’t have the same bounce. But not bad for $30.
Overall, I like. I might cop the grey or black colors because these are cheap and not terrible. I actually already got a compliment on these red ones. Not bad at all.
$6 on Aliexpress is the expensive stuff. Case in point.
Or buy these ice cube trays, and write "STILL OK" on one shelf.
These are rebranded generic Chinese laptops. I found the exact laptop they used. It looks like all they've done is put branding on the lid, and added a Penguin to the meta key.
All of the laptops here with the small notch in front of the touchpad in this link are the same laptop:
This one seems to be the most configurable:
If configured with i7-6500U/8GB/512GB SSD on Aliexpress: $709 USD + shipping; Slimbook version configured with same specs: $1109 USD + shipping. So, a $400 markup. It's good to support KDE though, provided they're earning a decent cut of the profit.
The hardware at least seems to have good reviews.
Or you can just buy them

Exact same product but without the branding. Where's your $105 MRSP now, huh?
My ex shops for lingerie using AliExpress.
Nice work! You could add some corner guards too.
These look remarkebly similar to these with a logo slapped on them...You wouldn't just be private labeling something from Aliexpress & kickstarting it like so many people have tried in the past, are you? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/20-20-Brand-Floating-Material-Polarized-Sport-Sunglasses-for-Men-Outdoor-Fishing-Women-Sun-glasses-Oculos/32715923793.html

no yeti slippers on aliexpress :(
>I'm curious why they bothered to make a case for the prototype
Probably to hide the fact it's housing a pre-built projector, something like this
No she buys a < $2 product, rebrands it and sells it at 10 times the price (no really)

You can get similar towels on eBay by searching "New creative magic towel". I haven't found this exact pattern yet.
This one has a label, which can help find a manufacturer. I'll check when not on mobile. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322266633474
You can probably find it cheaper if you did a bit more digging on Ali.
6-8 weeks for delivery? yeah, that's Chinese drop shipping.
buy it straight from the source instead:
edit: here's the same brush as OP. look at the promo pictures. it's $1.30 shipped. thanks user below for finding it
The right part looks like this mill. The left part looks like maybe a rice washing machine? Haven't found that part yet.
How large is it?
On mobile and can't link right now, but an aliexpress seller Dolovemk Beauty has the absolute best beauty blender knockoffs. They have mini ones, too and I actually prefer them to the real thing.
As a side note, I also tried a $0.39 dupe which just turned out to be rubber egg and an expensive one I tried always leaks color when wet :(
Edit, this is the one I'm talking about. :)
WASD's better switch tester is always $16.
Either way, though, switch testers are a poor way to select a switch. Typing on a keyboard is really the only way; switches feel very different when you slowly press them down one at a time on a tester. Go out to a hardware store or a meet and try things out; it's free, and it'll give you a much better idea of what you're looking for.
This is what's printed on it. A colleague gave it to me to test and he's gone home already. So this is all the info I have.
I think I found it on aliexpress. Looks identical and in the description it says "Real Capacity: 18800mAh(package marked capacity is:30000mAh)". Definitely looks like a case of false advertising. And my test showed a result of about 11Ah which is even lower than the "real capacity" on the aliexpress page.
Almost always. I prefer aliexpress because they have a much better review system compared to ebay. With aliexpress, as long as you read the reviews, you can get very nice brushes. I have bought fake RT brushes off ebay, and they're perfectly nice.
At the end of the day, private labeling is a huge thing, and there are a limited amount of manufacturers. I got some RT blendersfrom aliexpress and they are AWESOME. They expand a lot, and I wont be out 25+$ if my cat decides it makes a great toy.
Pretty expensive. And yeah what /u/noys said. Lots of reselling scammers out there
My favorite Maglite mod right now is you take a 2 D cell version and you swap the entire light out for this one :)
The Convoy L6 puts out 3800 lumens which is 14 times more than the 2D cell Malkoff dropin.
I do get that it's a nostalgia thing, though. For some crazy Maglite mods check out the user Old-Lumens on budgetlightforum.com
looked it up on aliexpress, doesn't seem to be the case. it's the same sort of rings but they're not the same rings sold by secret wood, and from the looks of it not nearly as intricate or well made. secret wood rings, if you look at their collection, have a very distinct shape that all of their rings share. notably, they taper in near the top. none of the rings on aliexpress match their geometric exactness and particularly telling are most of them where the wood meets the resin at the base of the "gem." the chinese knockoffs look very roughly done and cheap. their domes also widen out (ala ringpop effect).
Then I think they are miniatures, and for display purpose. Don't really know much about chinese culture, so no clue about the significance...
Edit; the other device is a 'windmill' to seperate chaff from grains. Found exact matches to the set in your picture on aliexpress. But they're all removed.... They do all reference to feng shui though, maybe has something to do with that.

Oh, if only. $9.09 on AliExpress.
So someone posted these here about a month or so ago and I decided to order.

6-8 weeks shipping. Chinese drop shipping. Fuck these guys buy it straight from aliexpress like these guys do. Link for it below, these fuck boys even use the same pics.
Everyone, I just checked with the mods and they said it's ok so here's the link!
Why the downvote? you can find them there for like 4$
in case it's too hard to type "fidget cube" in the search bar
To be honest I feel like it would be worth it just to purchase the keyboard directly from the manufacturer, unless you particularly desire to embark on a lengthy project, then this would be pretty fun and rewarding. Otherwise, you are going to need 104 of these screens or similar, some sort of microcontroller to interface all the screens, an Arduino may be alright but I am unsure of how powerful the microcontroller would have to be since you would probably not want much delay in between changing the displays on screens and that may prove to be an issue when simultaneously controlling 104 separate screens. Then of course you are going to need the clear keys and mechanical switches for the keyboard, you may be able to find out some good info over at /r/MechanicalKeyboards for some more info on supplies. Of course this is kind of the essentials, you would need other stuff like wiring and such as well.
All in all you are looking at probably a minimum of $800-1000 to make one yourself not including time invested. Sounds fun, but I think I would probably just buy one if I really wanted one, otherwise you're looking at a lot of work.
Care to explain how this is a rip off of the Metro?
To my eye, it is a standard cigar shaped fountain pen, different section than the metro, different barrel band than the metro.
Honestly, this is closer to the Metro than the OP pen, and it isn't all that close either.
It's a telephone (or network) cable tracer. There is another part that plugs into a phone jack or network jack, and generates a tone and sends it down the wire. You place this on wires in your phone room to determine which wires serve the jack the tone generator is in.
i guess just some bought kit, no reason to waste resources on that. cheap 180$ already gets you this Skywalker Black x-8 FPV with around 2kg payload if the claims hold up.
certainly looks similar in the shape but they could also just clone a retail model and go on from there.
You can get it for like $1.40 directly from China on Aliexpress. It's probably exactly the same one. There are also some other cool necklaces. Just the delivery time is a bit long.

Chinese version for $36. Let me know if it works out for you, but initial reviews show it is slightly loose and not so bad. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AR-Folding-Stock-Adapter-for-M16-M4-SR25-series-GBB-and-AEG-black-free-shipping/32381132422.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10091_10090_10088_422_10089,searchweb201603_1&btsid=8d1df6fd-b271-4e45-b...
Touchpad buttons can be replaced without changing the whole palmrest or touchpad. Not long ago I've bought a cheap T420 with a faulty touchpad button, I'm a Trackpoint user so it didn't affect me but my colleagues are not and needed a bit of help so I bought this from AliExpress.
Simply swap over of the old buttons and reconnect the ribbon cable and away you go. :)
This is my all time favorite scam. Purple Peter Pepper. It's literally a photoshopped eggplant.
Since I believe in sharing the love, this is the bikini I got. It's from AliExpress and is only $15 with free shipping. Actually great quality and fit just check the measurements carefully for size. You end up getting about 3 sizes larger than your usual (because asian sizes).
Great for bustier ladies :)
(I literally just got this item in the mail yesterday so am still pretty freshly thrilled)
I have. Bought one for a friends birthday, as a gag gift. Didn't pay for it all by myself. A friend didn't know what to buy so she suggested that we buy this together. Not a pocket pussy, but a "pocket ass". Like this one. I used the gift as an excuse to buy one for myself...
It was a little pricy, but worth it. Of your dick isn't longer than 7 inches, and if you decide not to go completely berserk on it, buy it. I did go berserk, and it ripped, and became one hole, so it became a lot more loose. The separating wall between ass and vagina is thin, and since it goes into the same tunnel, it breaks easily. But it was good while it lasted. BTW it is kinda small.
If you have a couple of grand to spare, some technical know-how, and the will to get it done - you can buy one yourself:
If you're in a country that doesn't regulate, enforce, and penalize for shit like this - you could probably get a few people with it.
I'm a huge fan of Lego but Lepin is actually great for sets that Lego has discontinued. For instance, the Lego Super Star Destroyer was discontinued but you can still find sets from private sellers for over $1000. Lepin has a near perfect knockoff for a hundred bucks. Spend a little time reprinting the STAR WNRS stickers and nobody knows the difference, with a 90% discount. I always buy from Lego when I can, but for something like this I don't mind buying the knockoff.
I now have a rainbow of switches!
Edit: More info!
This is the switch tester I used. I ordered both the 2x3 one with the Kailh switches and the 3x3 one with Cherry switches. I'm not the biggest fan of Kailh switches, but I wanted the orange and the light green to complete my rainbow.
I actually didn't end up using any Cherry switches in the project because I had already ordered some single Gateron switches for this project. Here are the different switch colors/brands:
Red, yellow, green, blue - Gateron
Orange & light green - Kailh/Razer
Teal & pink - Mod
Purple - Zeal
One of my friends was nice enough to give me some of his spare Zeals so I could swap the springs and stems into Zeal housings to make the whole project translucent. Bonus: spring/stem swapping is way easier than I expected and now I want to experiment with that even more. ;)
You're not going to believe this, but you can find this same exact thing sold for less by cutting out the dropshipping middleman and shipped straight from China.
That looks like an alternative version of this one (recently got it for $16 but it's usually closer to $25):

Difference is that there's a sort of frame in it (like some sort of insert) and there's extra padding, but it also doesn't fold up into its own bag like the one in the OP. Mine is ~730g (~26oz)
I googled it (wrote "buddy game chair") on Aliexpress (in hope of chines already made replica) and that what i got "Luxury chair"
well thats another way to play games.
figure of speech, but a quick google found this
I bought this because it was too cheap not to at least try.
Loaded it up with 4 AA batteries in February 2016 and haven't touched it since. Powers our coat closet, about the size of your closet, which gets opened many times every day.
It's motion activated, sticks to the inside top door frame, provides plenty of light, and cost me $10 shipped.
It's a Android 5.1.1 head unit: Hot Audio HA2135 bought on AliExpress.
Came with the correct wiring harness in the box.
Pros:
- Full Toyota "universal" 200mm double-DIN. Same dimensions as the stock Toyota head unit. The previous Android head unit I installed was the standard double-DIN width. I couldn't find any facia plates that worked well. Everything always looked ugly.
- Runs Android 5.1.1, which is pretty recent.
- UI has been customised a bit to work well in a car.
- Button's are illuminated by RGB LEDs and their colour can be customised. I went with red to match the 86 interior.
Cons:
- 1GB of RAM. Workable, but makes some things slower than necessary.
- Full touch screen. There's no physical prev/next controls or volume knob.
Sorry for the slightly dark photo. Hard to expose the screen + dash correctly at the same time.
I did a quick google search and it is called 3D Trio of Sushi Phone Case. There is a listing for it on claires and I also found it on a website called Aliexpress :)
Edit: Also found it on Ebay
It's worth pointing out that actual clones are legit. As in, they're not knock-offs.
Arduino is open source hardware, so anyone can go and make a compatible board and sell it legally, as long as they're not infringing on Arduino's trademarks. Mainly that's the logo and silkscreen design of the board. If you see a Chinese board that looks identical to an Arduino board complete with the logo and silkscreen print, that's a counterfeit. If they use a different design, that's perfectly fine.
Functionally there's only one real difference between the cheapest clones and arduino.cc boards, and that's the USB-to-serial chip that they're using. arduino.cc boards use a smaller ATmega16u2 to handle the USB communication. On Windows the USB-to-serial driver will install automatically. Cheaper clones use a CH340G USB-to-serial chip, and the driver will need to be downloaded and installed manually. After that it works with the IDE like any other arduino.cc board.
However, you can also get slightly more expensive clones that use the same ATmega16u2 chip for USB, and those don't require a manual driver install.
As far as vendors go, pretty much any larger aliexpress seller with decent feedback should be alright, because they all use the same main chips, and putting those plus a few resistors and capacitors on a board is not exactly rocket science. Personally, I've been pretty happy with boards from this seller. Their UNOs with the black header connectors have the CH340G, and ones with blue header connectors have Prolific PL2303 USB chip that should also auto-install the driver.
Go with the D1 Mini from WeMos, not the low-quality clones from other sources.
My old setup for anyone who cares to see, here.

I'm so in love with the teapot! It holds 160ml which is perfect for me. The teapet is a lot bigger than I was expecting, which is nice! I'm really loving the double walled glasses too, it stays cool to the touch no matter how hot the contents are. So far the tea tray is awesome! No warping like my old tea tray, no leaking, and it holds a considerable amount of liquid! The tray is super easy to remove and dump out. Looks quite nice too, I didn't have my hopes too high about the quality of the tea tray, since this is by far the cheapest one I've seen for the size I wanted.. but it's perfect! No complaints! I love staring at my teaware now 😍
--
The teapot, pitcher, cups, and tea pet were bought from teaware.house, the Cha He and tea strainer were bought from Yunnan Sourcing, and the tea tray is from Aliexpress! I'm brewing some Rou Gui oolong (from Yunnan Sourcing) right now :) Very different from the other oolongs I've tried.. there are notes of chocolate, and I can taste that it's been lightly roasted. I have a roasted Tie Guan Yin that really tastes like it's been roasted, but this rou gui has a nice balance. I'm really liking it!
Don't overlook the arduino! The starter kits from Aliexpress are cheap and come with tons of components. most of which can also be used with a Pi (or Pi+Arduino combination).
I use my Pi as a home automation server (Home-assistant.io), and my arduinos for "projects". Also the NodeMCU which is like an Arduino but has wifi and still costs only $3 or so.
$2
You can get these on Ali for £5~
808s cap here
If you do cop from Ali, I recommend ePacket shipping since it is just a bit more expensive but tends to arrive much quicker.

It's used so seat belts fit them better and not choke them.
Everyone needs to read the product description on their official AliExpress store. Absolute gold.
Remember that Power = Current x Voltage. LPDDR memory is able to draw less current and enter very low power standby states. Skylake doesn't have support for LPDDR4, so Apple went with LPDDR3.
I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable can answer why they're supposedly limited to 16GB of LPDDR3 when it's fairly clear that SK Hynix, whose memory appears in the iFixit MacBook Pro 13" non-touch teardown, sells up to 24Gb modules that you can literally buy on aliexpress for $35/piece shipped.

Se la tua batteria fosse un rubinetto sempre aperto ma a te servisse solo 1 litro/min come faresti?
Hai due soluzioni:
- 1) lasci il rubinetto sempre aperto ma butti via l'acqua in eccesso. Questo si puo' ottenere con una resistenza od un stabilizzatore lineare come il 7808 che "buttano" l'eccesso sotto forma di calore. L'efficienza dipende dalla differenza delle tensioni in gioco.
- 2) apri e chiudi il rubinetto solo quando ti serve per ottenere il tuo 1 litro/min. Questi sono i convertitori switching, anche detti DC-DC quando si parla di convertire tensioni continue. L'efficienza di questi spesso supera il 90%. Una ricerca di 10 secondi ed ho trovato questo oggettino da un negozio cinese anche se forse quello da 3A e' piccolo per te.

I happily endorse the Lepin version of the Lego Millennium Falcon. I purchased the one linked below and it came in a reasonable amount of time and was identical to the Lego version. It comes without a box, but the directions are there and were followable.
Here is the store I bought it from.
It was $37, I think. The original goes for $119 at minimum on Amazon and other sites.
One redditor even tested Lepin pieces for lead on their lead-detecting device at work. All clean, no lead paint.
Note: It did actually have a small production error. Six pieces were 3 studs in length instead of 4. I had Lego at home to swap out. No big deal considering it was 1381 total pieces.
I've bought the eye shadow brush from this VDL pantone set. I love Aliexpress for cheap brushes haha.
My latest pillow purchase is this copy on Aliexpress
Its a copy of the Sea to summit Aeros pillow. Cant be beaten for the money. I have both the real and copy, and can honestly say i theres not much difference.
some user reviews can be read here:
Tell us more about the watches.
What makes these watches reliable?
What kind of movement do they have?
Are they water resistant?
Where are they manufactured?
What kind of warranty comes with them?
What does your watch offer that justifies a price premium over something you could buy for <$10-$15/per on alibaba and sell at a profit for $30-$40?
Basically, you need to explain the value proposition for your customer, as you're entering a very crowded field in the middle of the price range.
Help us understand what we're getting for our money, that we couldn't get for $7.41 including free shipping off aliexpress.
Not trying to be a jackass here, but most folks spending $100+ on a watch want some basic information about what justifies the price, so the better job you can do of explaining that, the more likely your product is to sell.
I wouldn't order from them at that price, cheaper else where.
It's some kind of FitBit.
This guy. Look at the other images.
