Other posted:If you really have to buy some bootleg figure then do yourself a favour and look up the listing for the original on myfigurecollection.net before you burn your cash. There you should find comparisons between the original and the knock made off by users, the difference in quality can be quite extreme some times Oh, no doubt. Looking at the selection, a few of the Nendoroids on Ali Express aren't even that much cheaper than the real thing. I was interested in body chan figures too, for artist reference. With those, I would be more concerned with poseability.

I haven't had the cash to buy any but someday (when I have a sewing machine again) I'm going to make the most voluminous burnout velvet maxi skirt. Or skater / circle skirt. Or both. Edgar Allan Pwned posted:Never bought from here before because the prices seemed suspicious. Entertainment is not useless! Makeup brushes are OK, though usually lower quality than whatever they're knockoffs of, you just gotta sanitize them before use. Things like brush holders and scrubbers are useful. Jewerly is fine unless you're extra sensitive, and even then you can use clear nail polish to coat the parts that touch your skin and usually you'll be fine. You can also find jewelry that's supposedly free of irritants, including nickel. In my experience (I've bought a lot of settings and such since I do the handmade jewelry thing) that's accurate about 70% of the time, and you get your $ back if it's not. Clothing is okay, although you need to pay attention to the size charts / size up if the sizes are Chinese. Don't buy casual/lounge/sports bras if you're busty, they don't seem to produce any level of support beyond "covers the tits." I wash everything before I wear it, because China. Honestly, electronics, toys your kid may put in their mouth, and makeup are the only big no-no's. And plenty of people buy the makeup, knowingly or otherwise, and are fine. Sometimes particularly nasty batch of something will cause skin/eye infection (testing of counterfeit cosmetics usually turns up animal and human feces), but the bigger worry is absorption of heavy metals over time. Testing usually shows super-high amounts of those. Pick posted:I have a quoted section in the OP that is all jewelry I've purchased and like a bunch! Eh I just realized the Benefit Erase Paste (a thing that goes on the delicate skin of my under eyes, for those who don't know) that I've been using for like two years is counterfeit. I'm not dead. Unhappy, but not dead. It's my own fault, too, I received it with some other fake minis in a set from Amazon, kept them for reference, and somehow the erase paste got in my personal "to try" basket. Freaked me out, but thanks to Amazon preserving order details forever, I was able to ascertain I hadn't sold any of the fake poo poo, which was my real concern. I probably have slightly higher levels of lead & similar in my body than I would otherwise. I still am gonna discourage people from doing it, but not gonna judge you. Now I'm curious. What do you use that's from AE? How's the quality? Would you be able to tell it was fake, if any of it is knockoffs of authentic products?

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:Now I'm curious. What do you use that's from AE? How's the quality? Would you be able to tell it was fake, if any of it is knockoffs of authentic products? Not a bunch, although I have a number of brushes from there (though my foundation brush was a $ one from Ulta and I have a legit Beauty Blender that do most of the work). Hmm, most of them aren't listed now, I guess because they were forgeries of something. I actually don't check if they are or not, I don't know most of the brands unless they're also a clothing brand. I got some metallic lip colors and some mattes to see how those shades look on me, seemed to be about drugstore quality. I do know at least one was Colourpop, which as it turns out is a real brand, so whether these were third-shift or counterfeits, I don't know. I REALLY like these though. And I used to use these until I got a pot of something better for the job, but they're fine. Been happy with these too, seem to be a Chinese brand. Hmm, looking through my orders I've bought fewer cosmetics there than I thought!

Oh, but these false eyelashes are INCREDIBLE, far better than any I've seen for sale elsewhere in the States. They're not clipped, it's the natural taper of the fiber. Great effect. I know we're like, what, four dollars ha ha? But you can get sets of like ten pairs of falsies for under two bucks, so by China standards these are probably like $100 eyelashes. Anyway they rule.

After-runs are usually branded, almost always a "higher end" (not drugstore) brand. MAC, Urban Decay, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Tarte, whatever's popular right now. Browsing makeup on Wish or Mercari will tell you real fast what's being copied, because there will be $65 palettes for $20, and things like obvious (if you know what you're looking for) packaging errors, like this:  The real one has gold on the lids of the model, the fake doesn't. The fake also doesn't have the right texture for 7 of the shadows, which is why sellers that use their own pics do better than those that use stock. This one isn't an after-run, or the shadows would at least appear the same. My other favorite thing counterfeiters do that gives them away is when they invent products that don't actually exist. Urban Decay has 4 Naked palettes, plus 3 Naked Basics palettes and 1 Ultimate Basics (or something) palette. You can easily find Naked 5 & Naked 6 palettes on Mercari, Wish, AE, etc. And "Naked 3" brush sets, which doesn't make sense if you know the brand. Similarly, Tarte has 2 "Tartelette" palettes. Wish has up to Tartelette 6 already. Also fun, sometimes they'll take one of those massive 120 shade shadow palettes and stick "MAC" on the front. MAC doesn't make those, and if they did, they'd be a couple hundred bucks. But lucky you, you can get them on Amazon for $20! That's something I don't think a lot of people realize, how many 3rd party sellers on Amazon also have Wish/Aliexpress storefronts, because they are in China, selling bootlegs. Most of the non-brand clothing on Amazon is from China. Might as well save the markup and cut out the middleman.

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.

Oh hey I love AliExpress, Im currently in the middle of the shotgun like delivery spread of my last order. I did get this charming message a few days ago -  Yes I bought an LED RGB Lightbulb with built in Bluetooth speaker after seeing one at my friends place and it is rad as gently caress.  Im also guessing this is where an ex-colleague of mine got the supplies to do this to his car

Yeah i bought similar packs and you can choose fom the A, B, C, D etc set that are 100 unique vinyl stickers within each "set" but I just bought some to stick on my lovely laptop and a few other things, would never chuck em on a car. Id still prefer to have control over the placement and those vinyl wraps tend to repeat the pattern way too often

Has anyone ordered from Deal Extreme lately? I remember the old GBS thread on that site. Would take like 2 months to get your order and there was a 50% chance they'd send you the wrong item or send you extra items for no reason.

Guilty. They even say on the site "please use the loving app you get better deals". I love my cheap China poo poo and I pray Trump doesnt gently caress it up for me

I dont know how it is anywhere else but there is no way you'd get free shipping from Ebay in the EU, at the most on very limited selection anyway Some stuff gets shipped or forwarded from the Netherlands, some from Germany, some from China from my experience
