AliExpress experiments - Non-watch products

[AGL]

If you cant see a distinction and the point between what apple do and what this guy is doing with the beads then there is something wrong. The equivalent would be apple taking a budget dell, not changing branding or badges, upping the price and selling it at 80x the price ffs. But hey lets not derail a great thread with typical pedantic internet forum BS one upmanship.

I completely know what the guy is doing. And I completely understand what Apple do. The comment about apple making their own stuff is rubbish in itself. Good on the guy selling the beads. He found some Instagram success and is milking it whilst he's hot!

Mots no different to IO Hawk buying $300 Chinese electric scooters and adding logos then selling them for $1500-1800.

No love for the Hermes Case guys?

That case is stellar! HUGH win!

If they have one for my phone I will be ordering!

Any reviews on the pants? Does the size fits you or they run a bit small?

Just received a pair of HERMES trousers. They are a 40 waist in Blue.

Thanks all on the comments on ties. I am actually looking more at branded ties like Hermes, LV etc.
Did not manage to find any credible ones on Aliexpress but found some on their sister company taobao.com (https://shop108208423.world.taobao....2a.7700824.w4010-5287842126.2.4sIZko&search=y)

I'll do a review on the ties when they shipped to me from taobao. If anyone finds any on AE, do share too.

Many thanks.

how did you get the vi8 for $50? can you link us?

 

[timeonmyside]

Is there an English button for Taobao? Or just use the auto translate in google chrome?

Has anyone found anything good on GMarket?

Also, I dropped my Samsung Galaxy S4 and the screen cracked. A day later the whole thing went blank. Im using a backup S2 which is SLOW and the GPS doesnt work! I could buy a refurb S4 on Ebay for $160, or a new one for like $200, but I am seriously considering buying a chinese smartphone now since the specs on some models are pretty good.

"Elephone" models...

Plus I travel alot and the dual SIM feature is really appealing to me. When I asked people in the AT&T store no one had a clue what dual SIM was.

It's the Vi7 not the vi8

Try to find a Huawei p7 lite. At least you're getting official warranty and all you need

 

[x32c]

has anyone tried any of those phones?

 

[jamieroquai]

I bought my dad the huawei p7 lite

And as far as Chinese phone I had an ulefone be pro, was not so bad but not great either

 

[timeonmyside]

has anyone tried any of those phones?

I dont want to spend more that $200 USD and somewhere around $150 is better. Im seriously considering this one...

Call me CRAZY but I just bought it. Pretty good specs for the money IMO. Larger 5.5" screen so I can trade stocks without moving up to a tablet. I also like the larger battery, the dual SIM, the ROM/RAM size and WTH an Octa-core??? Plus I can lock my wife out of all the hot babes on Instagram (for example follow "annawildgirl")

 

[jamieroquai]

Hahaha. Well those phones you can always get rid of it for the same price if you don't like them. Usually always someone to buy them

who wants some Xiaomi Mikey

bought 40 cause they were on sale thinking of reselling them ( cost 20 cent piece and ebay around 2.5€ ), but they sent me fake ones that are not from Xiaomi lol, thus I made a dispute to show the original ones how they were ( in individual cardboard packaging with QR code ) and these ones are in a little plastic bag and no link to the app.

So I made a dispute with photos and got refunded
