AliExpress experiments - Non-watch products

[chinachinaman]

Jesus Christo! I should open my section back up and sell nothing but gen Ralph Lauren stuff. My God, I'd be a friggin millionaire in six months.

That wouldn't be such a bad idea. If you can source it from an outlet in the States and ship it to Malaysia. I'll get some off you. They have high demand here.

So the implication is that [MENTION=1952]sub4me[/MENTION] is a troll? You come up with these little quips that barely make any sense. Why don't you just say what's on your mind junior.

Here in Italy RL is also extremely cheap. Cheap like Zara,more or less. I can buy a Polo for 15-25€, and shirts for 25-35€. I have a lot of RL things because they are well priced and good quality and look nice. I don't think it would be very profitable to sell if USA and Europe have their outlets. Zara here has the same prices, but lower quality.

Nobody can skip a sub4me post. It's like seeing three unopened beers in the fridge when you're half lit and it's 11 pm on a work nite. sub is like Captain Kirk to an Ali supporter...

There are plenty other forums that are dedicated just to aliexpress go have a google

This thread has gone rapidly down hill of late, it really has. I used to check in here quite regular to see new items members had bought and recommended, then I'd most likely buy them myself via the links (even though I probably didn't need the s¥!t in the first place!) .

I'm not sure of the reason really , I know some of the links on here were going dead pretty soon after members post them on here .
Just seems to have killed the whole vibe for me. Too much nonsense about ball scratchers and not enough pictures and reviews of new swag.

You're shitting me - there are entire forums dedicated to Ali? Really? Jesus Christ - those sellers come and go faster than truck stop hookers. It must drive people insane.

Which makes you wonder why so many guys mostly with a handful of posts, no history here, and who contribute nothing to the board don't go over there and join up??

You guys do know that every time you posted a live link to an Ali seller, those sellers pinged on a couple thousand dedicated searches. Wanna know why the sellers got shit canned? Well, you keep shining the light and those sellers get noticed. Or they could have just gotten rolled up in Ali's never ending half assed attempts at shutting down counterfeit sellers. And your disputes as receiving "counterfeit goods" ain't helping you. Duh.

Seriously, it ain't rocket surgery. How many posts are in this thread saying "The store is shut down. Give me a link to another seller." There's a reason we don't allow you guys to post details about the TDs payment methods and whatever else. It's because people are looking for it and the TDs get fcked. Just like your Ali sellers.

Ok, serious question so I'll give a serious answer. Not that it matters because I've already said this 37 times and nobody listens but here goes: Truetime168/Lucy. She sells bags and belts and wallets and whatever. Just shoot her an email, tell her what you want and be sure to include a picture of the item or the link from the gen site of the item. She'll get back to you with a price and, just like with the watches, once you pay she'll go to the market or factory and get the best quality available.

As far as contributing to this thread, here's some tips that nobody's gonna like either:

Bags, especially the reps of the LV coated canvas bags, are going to have a smell to them. Depending on how recently the bag was made it's either going to have a strong smell or a not so strong smell. Everybody goes crazy over that, right up until they spend some time on the gen bag forums reading people going crazy over the smell of their gen bags they paid 10 times more for. The smell will go away after a while.

Belts - One thing most people go crazy over is the branding stamp on the Herpes belts. Some belts might have a light strike on them - don't sweat it. So long as it's on there and is correct - that's all that matters. Why? Because can't nobody see that part of the belt when you wear it because it goes underneath the other end of the belt. Buckles - if your buckle is stamped 14k on the bottom of the bridge between the two legs of the H - who cares. The only person that could possibly see that is either a truck stop hooker or if you get caught in an elevator with a midget. Same goes for LV buckles - if it's stamped 24k or whatever on the back of the buckle - who cares. Nobody's going to see it unless you walk around with it hanging around your neck. ***Make sure you actually measure your waist before you order a belt. Do NOT just go by the size of your favorite pair of shorts or pants. Measure your waist to get the exact size, otherwise you might wind up with a belt that's too small.

Serial numbers - I don't know how many times I've been asked about this. Nobody gives a shit about the serial numbers except for people who are spending too much time researching fake this or that online to see what the "tells" are. Seriously - if you buy a wallet and the serial/date code is stamped inside it, nobody on this planet is going to see it. If you're giving it as a gift - the person receiving it is not going to know what the F the code means. And yes, I've had guys admit that they're giving something as a gift and are worried their girlfriend or wife will find out it's a fake. Here's a tip - wrap it up all nice, slap a bow on it, and give it to your chick. Once she opens it and goes crazy over how awesome it is, tell her it's a rep and that you can get her all the rep crap she wants for a fraction of the price of the gens. She'll love it and act like you just discovered fire.

LV brand ink strikes - Everybody goes nuts if an LV brand ink strike isn't perfect. Well, go to Saks Off Fifth and take a look at the gens and you'll see a lot of those have light strikes or even missing a small piece of a letter. I've done just that and was shocked. But honestly, they're striking that ink on a very textured surface so sometimes they're not perfect.

Clothes - How many posts are there in here where somebody ordered say a Large and it fit like a girl's extra small? That's why I didn't sell clothes. Well, I did sell some clothes as special orders but the sizing can be all over the place and if you order a large and I get you a large and it doesn't fit, well you're gonna be pissed so I stopped selling clothes. Honestly, you can buy gen Ralph Lauren anything when it's on sale at the local mall, so I don't see the point in buying rep clothes that you're rolling the dice on size wise. But that's up to you. My local Ralph Lauren Polo Factory Outlet has embrodiered logo Ts for under 15 bucks each - doesn't make much sense to spend 10 or 12 or whatever on a rep and hope it fits.

Lastly, too many people expect 1:1 reps when it comes to bags and wallets and belts and stuff like that. Look, you're paying a fraction of the price of a gen - it ain't gonna be 1:1. The high end stuff is gonna be good enough that some of it you literally can't tell the difference unless you sit in the store floor with a magnifying glass for a half hour comparing the rep and the gen. And honestly - who cares? There ain't nobody on this planet gonna walk up to anybody and say "Ha! That's a fake Keepall! I can see the stitching on that strap is slightly wonky right there!!" It don't happen. And if it does- punch that person in the head. Twice.

And even more lastly, I don't care if you guys buy everything all the way down to your groceries off Ali. But everybody keeps asking for the link to the best this or that then rolls the dice because this seller has disappeared and that seller suddenly stops responding. Just save your time and send Lucy an email and tell her what you want. And I know some genius is gonna accuse me of being a shill for Lucy - guess what? I'm a friggin customer of Lucy's! I've bought more watches from her than I can even remember and her service is second to none.

So there you go, that's my cuntribution to this thread. Which will be summarily ignored.

Thanks for your insight! Everyone should read this and set their expectations. :thumbup:

I'm amazed with some items that come from ali but I can see what the problem is. When you look for 2140 polarized sunglasses.. few months ago I could buy it in a second for about 25/30$ but now I need to look for it for about 10-15 minutes and the price is about 40$.

It's getting harder and harder to find something that you could find few months ago without any doubt.
