Aren’t the sales just lies where they have raised the prices right before discounting them? I heard that a while back and have ignored the sales since.

You should always be using a price tracker on Ali anyway. The Eachine drones were cheaper than they'd ever been (or at least recently, I don't care if 18 months ago it was briefly cheaper). Plenty of things were down to their previous low price at least. Keeping an eye out for coupons and shopping at stores that stack the $2 select coupons + a store coupon + the $6 off $65 etc.

The things on Flash Sale seemed like low prices to me, but as I've said a few times nothing like "omg you NEED to buy right now."

I got mine from the official Eachine Ali store, I got a E520S with 2 batteries in the 4k camera (meh the video quality looks poo poo but I'm just dicking around and the 1080p video had visible framerate issues) for $62 shipped, and that included them collecting loving tax for some reason. It's $97 on Banggood and my price tracker shows the lowest there @ 71 (dunno if they have coupons).

Because of how the Ali discounts work it was cheaper for me to get the 4k/2batteries version than the 1080p, which didn't qualify for the $6 off $65 (it was $63). I'm pretty drat confident this is about as cheap as this drone has ever been shipped to the US. All of the reviews call it a bargain at around $100. I'm just going to take stupid videos of me canoeing through class 1.5 rapids and then force my wife to watch them.

Whoa thanks. I searched for the QX on Ali before but I guess overlooked it because it way more than on BG. This one is pretty cool though, even if the video does look like rear end for 60 bucks a drone with GPS and wifi video is amazing value.

If you want a super cheap one this is $24 in the lowest config, but honestly the E520s @ 62 seems like a much better value and like a really perfect entry level drone that I'll actually use. not 100% sure all of the same discounts currently apply today but you can get it pretty close or just the 1 battery version.

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.

I blame all of you for this. I found this thread last weekend. Since then, I've ordered:

- Three cheapass fountain pens
- A blanket that looks like a tortilla
- Enough washi tape and stickers to make my journal pretty for the next ten years
- Enough cute sticky notes to annoy my coworkers for same ten years
- Two strings of novelty christmas lights, with star pendants (will probably burn my house down)
- Silicone ice cube molds that make giant spherical ice cubes
- Silicone beer bottle caps
- This pair of shoes. They're loud. I love them. Only thing I spent more than a few dollars on: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...rchweb201603_52

Not in Firefox on private browsing. Same in not private browsing actually, they're pretty aggressive about making you log in each session and I'm able to search/browse.

The E520S seems like a good candidate, though it's not like $20 more than yesterday. Good job on missing the biggest sale of the year by a day :v:

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.

I bought some; a lot of my travel is camping and hiking. I don't wear my engagement ring (with my grandmother's diamond in it) while hiking around or building a fire, but I feel like my husband and I get less side-eye than when he's wearing a ring and I'm not. But people in this thread said I just like to demonstrate that I'm property... ;)

would like to reiterate (just in case), these silicone rings are very tough and it’s only something you should wear if you’re worried about dirt or moisture. i wouldn’t be surprised if they deglove just as well as metal
