If aliexpress ereaders are anything like aliexpress mp3 players, they will die after four months and you will be out however much you spent on it. I second the buying second hand, and not from aliexpress at all.

I also advise secondhand e-reader. I picked up an old kindle keyboard off facebook marketplace for $25 as I had had one when they were new a decade ago and liked it. It has a tiny scratch on the screen about the size of a tittle in the text. It's been going a year and I have no reason to believe it won't go many more.

My understanding is that if AX is Walmart (or maybe Amazon) in China, Taobao is Target, is that right?

stephenthinkpad
Jan 2, 2020
Nah Taobao is ebay, Tmall is Amazon US.

There is no AX because AX is basically ebay oversea where you can pay with any foreign credit card have working oversea tracking system

I don't know what is Walmart in China, maybe a bunch of local supermarkets including Walmart.

Taobao is not just ebay (in fact, I have never purchased a used item on there).

you can buy lots and lots of "factory direct" brands on there. some of the shops do made to order clothing. use a middle-man service like "superbuy" so you can communicate with the sellers


https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=577412160260&ali_trackid=2:mm_119784642_132400295_36218700225&spm=1101.1101.N.N.f3a3531
just received this denim jacket from taobao

fits true to the measurements, NOT true to American sizing (i wear a M, I got a 3xl for a loose fit). brand is just labeled "fashion". needed to be aired out, but great quality for $10 + shipping and middle man costs

I'm not certain Taobao has used items at all, I have never seen it. i can only imagine how cheap a used no-brand jacket would be....

I have both brought and sold used camera gears on taobao. But the shipping UI is for China only. I wouldn't use it outside of China.

There is a much smaller used good site in China, which let you sell your stuff in fixed price mostly. OTOH, there are other smaller used good sites in the US too, see Mercari for used watch and sneakers.

That's the quality content we expect from the Stimperor. The worst kind of cringe. The cringe would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred.

I was going to introduce this next item with "because I'm a literal child I bought" but now that is ruined. :mad:


Because I'm an immature adult I bought this kickin' rad dice bag. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001599420663.html

The fabric quality seems good for the price, it looks velvety. The stitching is adequate, not perfect but not bad. It's only a single line so if you wanted to fill the pouch with something heavy like rocks it might be worthwhile to add a second line of stitching along the outside edges, or it might be fine the way it is. This size pouch is also advertised as the right size for a deck of tarot cards. The promotional images and some review images show metal charms on the ends of the drawstrings, those are missing on mine. For C$ 3.92 I am very happy with it, in a local store I'd expect to pay more than twice this much for similar quality.
