Best way to get new aliexpress accounts for discounts? my gmail gets blocked
So after being spied on ( >>107030074 ) I actually went ahead and bought a bunch of the stuff that I wanted.The case is for starlink which I will give to my brother for christmas (he is using the cardboard box it shipped in). The little black circuit board is the USB cable tester which went viral recently and the green pots are for catching snails, the connectors are taps (punctures the existing wire and you can plug into that).Only thing not here yet is 10 metres of fibreglass rods for pushing a cable underneath my house.

Is it any good?
>>107032717yes, if there are local items you want to buy
>>107032717yeah it's fine, haven't had any issues, like a shirt I ordered and wore all summer
>>107031053It's for shielded cableshttps://superuser.com/questions/341527/why-g-does-not-light-up-in-network-cable-tester
>>107032717i was instantly refunded for a broken shaver head. i kept the shaver body and bought OEM attachments from ali so pretty good customer service all things considered
>>107032717i find it has a better range of chastity cages and sissy outfits than ebay or amazon
>>107033413oh yeah, gag/novelty/rude items are so much easier to find on temu
>>107033556yeah it was for a gag haha
one of my orders got duplicated, I assume it was because a confirmation screen tripped on my bank app even though I'm using a digital card and not my physical one. question is, can I safely ignore the duped order? the first copy of the order is already paid and shipped, but it would suck ass if it got recalled because of some weird glitch on ali's end
i see. if you can't find an item in the coins section (because the shop didn't put it up for discount) then you should search for it in the gem section to at least get some gems back. a 5.95 item gives me 6300 gems back with a 1% base coin discount which is cheaper than buying it straight from choice which is the same price at 5.95 2$ coin discount
>>1070337552% not 2$
Any current meta on 10440 powered keychain torches?Getting a Snowsky Retro Nano with a few spare batteries to swap around and I figured I could use them for a little flashlight for fun or something
>>107033755But you can't really redeem gems so what good is it to hoard them?I have a shitton of gems, and any decent store credit has been sold out for months now with bots and thirdies buying them within a second of resets.An asset you can't liquidate isn't worth anything in the end.
>>107032717Overpriced ali made more for influencers that have friends they can send referrals to get actual discounts.
is this true?
>>107033868i live in aus so reset time is 5/6pm for me. i can usually get both the $1 and $5, both on the same day evenmaybe if you live in the eu you have to compete against other eu users
>>107034134Yes, http://www.vkvan.com
>>107034193>>107034134seems like a totally legit thing which won't get abused
>>107031278THE TUMMY POST NEEDS TO BE THE BIGGEST PIC HOLY>>107034134probably. i've only ever gotten shadowbanned in ali which their support fixed, but merchants themselves, which are usually just a couple dudes running multiple fronts, most likely have a list.
is the 11.11 sale for the whole month or just that one day?
>>107034309i've seen some items start dropping on the 8th. that's when i bought my tablet a few years ago and the price then was cheaper than throughout the 11.11 period.anyway, 11.11 is when things start getting cheap and prices will stay around that price for 2 weeks until BF week which will last until the end of the month. i bought an action cam for $56 on 11/20 without waiting for BF for instance
>>107025015>Or you could try purging your ear of earwaxalready did that with my doctorit was practically emptymy hearing is fucked in my right ear and i think it has to do with the band i was in where the drummerr was to my right when we playedfucker even whined whenever i used earplugs and now im pretty certain hes the reason im half deaf
>>107034401unluckyas i get older i'm humbled by the fact that sometimes parts of your body are changed forever and they can''t be fixed with a simple night's sleep
i asked about batteries/chargers a few threads agogot the liitokala lii-s1insane deal for 5€, has a display to show the voltage, can insert batteries any way you want and the build quality seems decent for how little it costs
>>107034543they are so legitthe 2nd most popular brand - daweikala is all fake shit and dangerous design
>>107034531yeah that sucksa few months ago a lamp fell on my face while i was reading because i had a shabby stand set up and it permanently broke one of my front tooth and i will never get that back, i only have a fake now
>>107031278Thinking about a benchtop power supply. Anyone know a good brand or have a horror story to share?
>>107034543One thing to watch out for is that some of their chargers are limited to 500mA on NiMH. Even if they can do lithium at 2A. Not an issue for the one you got though.
>>107034134Can't check, it's just an image without a link
>>107008918pls post some of the types of lights you bought
>>107034652A couple of years ago I went through buying two chinkshit ones and returned both, one would not hold voltage steady and the other popped a fuse within a week.I got an old LG GP-4303 unit from Ebay for $150 or so and no problems, rock solid.
how hard is it to do basic electrician stuff such as adding an extra light to the ceiling? i know a real electrician would charge a shitton for a simple job like that
>>107035643watch a guide, it'll cost you a bunch of random tools, working on the fuse box in your house is not easy, because you'll want to either draw the power straight from that, or splice the wiring of another light.Watch a guide on how to do it, and decide if you're qualified or capable yourself. Wrong place to ask anon. AI would be a much better advisor lmao.
I swapped some Huano brown/whites into my double clicking Logitech and now I wish I'd gotten something for the wheel button to fully enjoy the soft thunk.
>>107031278Is there anything like this but AI powered?

>no ongoing saleshould I wait?
>>107035825there is no way that will get through customs
>>107035825It's shipped from the EU, so no more customs involved
>>107035922Yes, 11.11 is likely going to start around the 1st.
>>106996718I'm serious I'm down to send anons like this aliexpress clothing just so they can post more of their fit (but show more).
>>107034652Years ago I went the DIY-ish route like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxR-_ZnREQQ (I miss that Swiss accent so much ;( )Setup is a bit clunky as I never polished that project: I would need to create some wooden box to make the stuff more rigid, compact and portable (and safer!), it lacks a switch (and maybe a fuse?) on the mains side and I wanted to implement his temperature-controlled fan mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z-1A6oDFXI There's also custom firmware.Still usable. 1 euro coin for scale.There was also this more polished supply at the time also, a bit more expensive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qjLx_HsKUQOtherwise there's the form factor like in your picrel, but I don't remember what was the reputable/tested brand at the time. Hopefully you can find thorough tests like these on YouTube.
>>107035643Go ask /diy/
>>107036293(you)
>>107035638>>107036327Thanks much
How are the chink shit Switch 2 accessories coming along? I'm thinking about buying just the tablet off eBay or something and just using chinkshit instead of giving my money to Nintendo
>>107034652I have a basic one from Wanptek I bough off ali years ago for 30$. I don't use it often but when I do it always works and does the job.

>>107039221used ender3new a1 mini
some of you guys buy/want weird ass shit but i respect it
>>107038474just check the ram, the storage space is not as important, anything that comes with more than 4gb of ram will do
>>107037570I bought a pair of Switch 1 joycons a few months ago, like just a month before the launch of the Switch 2, and they STILL couldn't get everything right.
are there any good cheap chinkshit usb-c portable monitors?
Anyone tried out the dirt cheap dremel bits on ali?
>>107034309
does 11.11 happens on alibaba? i will probably need to buy some stuff as a freelancer next month
>>107040808They're about as good as you expect, ok for very light use but useless for anything else.
>Found a nice coins offer, add item to cart>9:00 UTC , Chang nukes all promotionsChaaaaaaang!!!(It was a Merkur Progress clone for 2€ after the discount.)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007635815721.htmlOrdered some 24W E27 bulbs, my Ikea fixture claimed max 13W in the socket, by since it is not enclosed as such, It will probably be fine. The outer shell or whatever appears to be plastic, hopefully it wont degrade because of the increased heat.
today i will earn some coins
>>107036293lol. Somewhere deep on my thinkpad, I’ve got a pic of some neat AliExpress briefs, I’ll post them when I get home next week so you’ll shut up. >>107039708The magic of /csg/!>>107040808I’ve got a bunch of cheapo oscillating Multitool blades (brand’s newone I think) which are surprisingly decent for stuff where I don’t need precision, so I’d imagine you can also get decent dremel bits. But you certainly can also get crap that’s just not gonna work or send shards flying in your face, guess you gotta order some and post a review. I’m still looking for Teflon free router bits but if I find some I shall post an update.
Affordable reasonably accurate scale for spices?
Coins are not worth it
>>107042450Are we talking "spices" or are we talking """spices""""?If it's the former, look up "jeweler's scales" they'll be reasonably accurate for cooking.If it's the latter, get something that comes with a certificate of calibration or you will get your dick chopped off for having an inaccurate scale.
>>107043212what do you mean by """spices"""? Are you talking about """spices"""or """""spices"""""?
>>107043342
>>107043212The first one thanks.
Has anyone here tried some heated gloves from Ali?My right hand gets extremely cold during the winter, this could be a lifesaver.
>>107031439>uses the temu app.For why. I just don't understand why people install an app when a browser would work just fine.
>>107040851When should I buy, 11.11 or Black Friday?
>>107044256do you live in a country with an external cashback site (ie. rakuten, topcashback, swagbucks, quidco, etc)? if you do then BF prices and cb combo will be much better than 11.11
>>107044421very cool
>>107044471
>>107044421>>107044553looks like a kosher lamp for sabbath
Sorry I don't know how to link those bloody bundle dealsGot this hot water bottle, filled it up from the kettle last night around midnight, it was still warm in the morning, and now after 19 hours it's slightly tepid. Impressive
>>107044553bet you could shove that up your arse like
>>107044421Does it completely cover the tip or no
>>107044730
>>107041707I don’t understand this either, sometimes the coin discount is gone and then it reappears again later>>107042595No, the coin discount is based and fun
>>107044553>It is also a way of self-healing.
>>107044722t. French, how so you even use the site with its shitty automatic translations?
>>107034134it doesnt happen on ebay, i've got an OLD account, and i've disputed a bunch of shit over the years, i even called out a seller for selling a real product that works as advertised, but for using a trademark they legally aren't allowed to use in the title. They apologised and agreed to change the naming of the product.I got another seller to delist an item because it wasn't fit for purpose (headphone replacements that don't fit the headphone model) and got a refund and an apology. No problems at all. I even recently was allowed to back out of a bid i realised i didn't want (old school mining lamp that requires materials that are illegal for a pleb civvie to buy in our Karen-nanny-state nation in 2025) without having to buy it.Ebays great for me over the years, but it is more expensive than Ali.
>>107044553
>>107034652I like the Riden RD series, the same ones as in >>107036327's third video. (The specific one I have is an RD6018, and I've had it for almost 5 years now.)Unlike traditional lab power supplies, they only do the DC-DC part, so you need to feed it with DC power at least ~1V higher than the output you want. But, that also means you can pair it with just about any sort of DC source you have available, such as a laptop charger, power tool battery, drone battery, surplus PoE switch power supply, or a USB PD charger and trigger board.
Any good/decent portable printer?I was checking zink printers like xiaomi portable phot printer and also another with different technology, from Yoton a brand, which isn't as portable or cheap, but the quality is better and the "ink" is cheaper.Any other recommendations? It's just for a gift, so I want to know if I can find something cheaper /cheaper consumables.
>>107044553alright where's the horse version?
>>107044421>le foreskin lamp
>>107010324I have the second one but not that brand my friend gave me it worked alright we had to look up how to pair them every time we rode. It says multi rider but thats not fully accurate you cant talk to multiple people at the same time you can only talk to one other person and have the use the buttons to talk to someone else you are paired to. We never actually were able to get it paired to more than us though the pairing process was pretty convoluted.I was looking at one of the Lexin models before I broke down and bought the sena that integrated with my shoei helmet
>>107043924my browser doesn't do any popups, coupons etc on both PC and phonei got $150 in credit for that purchase, i double checked and the prices for the items were identical in the PC and app cart, so for the price of them knowing what faceberg and jewgle already know about me I get $150 of more cheap chinese shitisn't that what this is all about in the end?
Good morning fellow dumpster divers and bargain hunters. So I found these on Ali, used them for a month before they died. My main issue with them is that I would need to hide the batteries under my shirt, which reduced their lifespan due to sweat and dirt, so I'm here to ask if anyone knows where I could get some fake -wireless- earplugs so I listen to music while I work. I've looked around but maybe I'm not using the right keywords, they don't even have to look like these, I just need something that looks convincing
>>107049341airpods now specifically claim hearing protection so tell your boss to go fuck himself and walk around with airpods at work like a chad
>>107045105a lot of french people will endure anything as long as they don't have to read or speak in english
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008592905989.htmlthese automatic lights are pretty cool and convenient so you can see your toilet at night or something. you can probably get them cheaper than the linked one though. seems the price changed.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007966134738.htmlthese canvas bags seem pretty rugged, I got the cheapest one.. could be good for a tool bag or camping storage. anything that's sorta heavy or gets dirty.
