I won one of their spin the wheel things and got 3 items of my choosing for $0.01 a piece. The list of items to choose from includes like, $100+ LiFePO batteries, inverters, shit like that, all for $0.01.
I know that it’s a myth that Chinese products are shit quality: $0.03 (plus shipping I’m assuming) for potentially a couple hundred dollars’ worth of stuff just isn’t believable to me.
The problem isn’t the quality, it’s the gambling/gatcha/social network aspects that are designed to make you “choose” to buy more than you want or need because it’s a “good deal”
I buy all sorts of stuff from aliexpress, taobao, whatever all the time and it’s decent shit but you gotta be aware of how they get you.
