My company orders crystal blocks with our ship designs laser etched in them. We get them for $5.50. The same blocks ordered here would be at least $70.

I got a Matt Ryan jersey. It looked super legit at first but the number is starting to kind of come off. I'm scared to wash it.

I have almost ordered from there so many times, but always fail to pull the trigger because the price seems too good to be true. I've seen video cards and CPUs on there for a quarter of their retail price.

Glue them to your fingers so you can't type.


Cad, too many fakes, IMO.

You can return right away if you aren't satisfied with it. But I mean for a 20 dollar jersey you know what you're getting. And I don't know how big of a pain in the arse it would be. Took over 2 weeks to get here(which I guess free shipping from China isn't that unreasonable.)

Everything I have seen on Alibaba had a shipping container full for the quantity to order. I may look into it if you can by normal amounts. My dad orders stuff from china that's like $13 shipped that's $50 here. Same part no logo.

Been looking hard at using it as a wholesale supplier for teeth whitening kits and flipping them to dentist offices or selling online on daily deal sites.

There's lots of little cheap things like that on there where a nice margin could be made if one was willing to hustle the retail end. I just keep shying away from "made in China" for some dumb reason. I know I don't have the resources to do proper due diligence on the suppliers and that would frick me if something went wrong down the line.

My current order:
3 different styles rayban aviator sunglasses including leather cases and eyeglass adjustment toolkit
1 pair rayban wayfarers
1 pair Oakley jawbone with 4 different lenses and case
1 waterproof military divers watch with LED..I need to get a photo it's cool as hell
1 cosplay wig for my daughter.. OK it's for me
1 ski hat for my son
2 heavy duty backpacks
3 knives

Grand total $55

I think every item was from a different seller. I got several 'happy customer most love and good
fortune to you! " type emails from the sellers as they shipped the orders.

The only downside is having to wait a month or more but these are Christmas gifts so I'm not in a hurry and even if 50% are pure crap.. Well.. $55 yo.

I used to buy HID kits off there all the time. Paid 45/kit and sold for 175/kit. Ive also been thinking about getting some bike wheels from there.

Alibaba does have alot of knock offs but they also have alot of reputable companies. Just have to do your homework if you are looking to buy products for a business venture.

Yeah you can pay $1 for raybans..$10 for raybans..or $50 for raybans.

Im guessing the quality of the counterfeit goes up at each price point but who knows.

It's easier to just GO to Tuscaloosa and talk to folks than buy one of those.

The effect is the same.
