So this is the link for the mb bag

These are the photos I just took

Feedback: it comes in a canvas bag and has some MB tags. It's softer than I was expecting. It closes both sides through magnets. There are no visible effects minus a small black dot on the star on one side which i think i can remove scratching it(maybe visible on 3rd photo). The lining inside smells awful and i'm leaving it outdoor with a sachet inside to get it sanitized ;) The leather or faux leather or PU leather really smells leatherish and it's definitely better than any PU i touched before.

Fits a vaio 13" comfortably

All in all I'm happier than I thought. If you remember I was a bit regretting the impulse purchase on my previous post, but I think i will use it no problem. Will let you know how it holds up after a while. Definitely value for money.

Is it PU or genuine? Listing says 100% genuine but I'm skeptical at that price. edit: just realized that the genuine leather links to other listings, so I doubt this is anywhere close to leather.

Doubt it's genuine leather for this price. The cheapest I saw is ~$50 for non branded bags

It feels good tho, better than any other PU stuff I came to touch

I also received the BV card holder many bought in this thread

Absolutely great quality

I did tons of research before ordering my bike using the bikeforums link above and other sources. I do most of my own work on my bikes and have put a crap load of kilometers on the Chinese frame above in the last three years. I wouldn't order from a random store but manufacturers like HongFu, DengFu, ICan and Great Keen make consistently reliable frames that I would personally trust after a thorough inspection. Don't buy one of these unless you know what you're doing. Bikes from major manufacturers fail as well. I had to replace a seat post on my BMC because it cracked on me during a descent when I hit a pot hole!
Where did you order your bike from? Please share link.

Has anyone on here ordered Golf Clubs? I have been checking out a bunch of sellers and thinking about trying them out.

Years ago a friend had a Taylor Made knock off driver and it was stellar. I loved swinging it, and find it much better than my gen Callaway.

Just wondering if anyone has tried them?

Just was talking about this at work with a coworker. He said he bought fake clubs, and they broke pretty easy. But It was a knock off. I tend to find that non rep items are better at the same price point as rep items at that price point. Not sure why.. At least I noticed that with my ties and some jewelry I ordered..

The Tiffany stuff was terrible, but the non branded stuff was great! But as you know, the more you spend the better you get.. But man, gold clubs are expensive! Lol

There used to be a site called Velobuild that would organize group buys from Chinese manufacturers. My frame was from a company called DengFu and the model is the FM098. There are some companies that go by the same name on Ali and on Google but I can't say they are the same one as my bike because it was built several years ago. Sorry :(

These LV ones have an easy tell, someone pointed it out to me and now I can't unsee them. On the Gen, the slant of the L and the V are parallel, most reps are not although I've seen a few that have. Looks good otherwise

+ the LV Paris should be 5.5 squares in as opposed to just four. Other than that looks dope

I have no experience with the Bose headset, but the Solo 2's from them are great. My pair of Beats have been in use almost daily since I got them a few months ago.

Hi folks

Been browsing the repsneakers reddit and looking for good reps that arent yeezys. Looks like Nike Roshe flyknits are pretty good. Here is a review from a few months back. Apparently only 2 versions of these with the better updated version being one without the glossy nike swoosh.

The problem is, Im having a hard time searching for them on Ali. From the reviews a few months back, these were selling for around $30. All im finding on Ali are $50 ones that might be legit. Has anyone looked for these?

Got these shades for 5usd. Pretty good for the price.



Got these for the gym around 7usd. Size fits but collar is a little low. Material is soft and feels like underarmour material.

It very easily could be "100% Genuine Leather" at that price point. One of the biggest scams in general is the leather trade. As a novice leather smith, I got to learn far more than I wanted to know about leather. GEnuine leather isn't the top level of leather. It's actually third in quality. Full Grain and Top Grain are far better and what you will see the gen of these items made from. The difference in cost alone is astounding. I just bought a hide to make a leather portfolio and I used a tanned full grain leather and the hide alone cost me about $200 and it was only about 1.5 square meters. An equivalent "genuine leather" hide would have been as low as $10. And that's my non wholesale price. :laugh:

I am also looking. Seems like the sellers go up/down so quickly you can't really wait until they have a huge amount of feedback. I'm just going to message a few and ask for some pictures. Let me know if you find a particularly good link mate

Just got a message saying my scarves have finally turned up. Very excited to see them, as is the wife (hoping they are Burberry branded. didn't confirm with seller)
