gently caress yes dremel engraving bits for dirt cheap. I do a lot of woodcuts, so this is loving awesome.

Has anyone ever ordered any of the off brand Copic markers before? There's a decent discount on them for the 7th sale and I might pick up a small set for funsies.

It looks like they're only selling a t0cm version on that page while the photos are mostly the 150cm version.

I mean, most of the Micron value is in their designs and sizes and such. Ink is Ink is Ink, unless we're talking fancy painting and fountain pen inks.

basically they're probably not going to shortchange you on the longevity

I don't have a Gameboy so I can't play it but the cartridge itself is solid and seems like a 'real' cart. The case is kind of grainy, almost feels like it's been 3d printed? I'm planning on gifting it to a friend who is a huge video game nerd so hopefully he can play it and I will post a trip report.

Has anyone else been having trouble logging in to AliExpress? I made an account & ordered a ton of stuff yesterday, went back today to browse a bit and I can't log in. The verification thing fails every time. For some reason it's stopped letting me browse the site while logged out, I can only see the first page of anything I search.

The real savings come from using the Select coupons, since they've been handing those out like crazy. I have like 12 of them, and they stack with general AE coupons and discounts.

Have been following this thread, fun stuff! Thanks to all of you for sharing your amazing finds!
I'm inspired to order some goodies too, but having never ordered from AE before, I have a question:
When you add something to your cart, does it all go together into one big cart like on Amazon and you pay for it all at once? Or is each seller/cart a whole separate transaction on my credit card?
I have my eye on many things there, but they're all from different sellers. Thanks for any info you can give this 'AliExpress Virgin' :)

I just had to contact six sellers and let them know my order was sent to the wrong address. Am I going to be blackballed? :ohdear: I still wanted to buy the stuff, I just accidentally sent my cart to a friend in California!

Also, these are cool: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PC...2696594323.html I have some of them and they're super handy, and this is a good price for them :)

I got hit once out of the ten or so orders I've made. It was for a $1.75 pair of sunglasses that I had a $1 off coupon for. That was like the third order I made. I didn't risk it though. Figured it wasn't worth the effort for a less fun way to probably go blind.
