NW WA Meet / BS Thread

i have not bought from there but like you i seen the listed prices were well below average. I had to submit an email of what i wanted and how many to one of the sellers for a bat wing awning. the listed price was $300+/- but the quote i got back was $800

 

Alibaba is the more business to business site. So they more do volume sales
AliExpress is their consumer site and is generally more open to quantity 1 purchases.

Ive used aliexpress before and its been just fine. Shipping just takes forever

 

Don't do it. My brother waited for months for an item that was supposed to ship immediately. He had to call and email like 30 times to ask for a refund or to actually get the product.

 

i didnt, once they quoted me a completely different price than what is listed, i walked away

 

Dang how much was that? I just Did the cheap $10 parts kit for my rear diff. Fronts already breathe into engine bay. Worked great so far no issues.

 

Dang really? I was Planning on heading up there in March for a few recon drives. What is still Open to explore?

 

Damn 10$
I payed like 70$

 

Paid. Please people, it's paid.

 

Yup, that’s the route I went. Some cheap tubing and a Corolla diff. breather.

See y'all there!

 

What's wrong with pride in ownership? We all obviously bought these vehicles because we recognize quality. There is a compromise between enjoying something and then beating it up.

 

Mind pointing out where i said anything about not having pride in ownership?

 

Dudes got a pretty new Tacoma that he paid a lot of money for. He probably would like to keep it nice for a while. That's pride in ownership.

 

alibaba is b2b, hence you need to buy like 10 of them to get that price.

Someone did a group buy here from alibaba and they came out great. Exact same thing as other retailer's tents.

 

Looks like CVT still has some great deals. I did get response from a few sellers that would ship just one. But I'd have to find a forwarder to get through customs and pickup at port. $600 for the tent plus $1000+ for the rest of it. Buying bulk would definitely make for good profit

 

I'd be down for investing in a few and reselling. I have some space in the garage I can free up to store them.

 

I'd be down for something like this as well.

 

Well figure it'll be about $7,000 plus shipping and import fees for a pallet of 10. Problem is we'd all be selling in the same market.

 

That is true. Might just need to wait for a flash sale or something.
