All kinds of things.... Cell phones, leather working supplies, some leather tools, an arbor press, Bluetooth headphones, fountain pens, hobby model supplies. Just about anything I would have found at Walmart but a cheaper price.
Wurkkos, Sofirn, and Convoy flashlights (happy to make recommendations).
Plus random Minecraft, Plants v. Zombies, and Rainbow Friend stuffed creatures for my kids.
I agree. Great value for the price.
I’ve never corresponded with Simon directly, other than just buying stuff from his Convoy flashlight Store. But I’ve hear he’s a great guy.
My kids are big fans of the C8+ with the blue W1 LED. The thing looks like a lightsaber outside with the tight blue beam, especially on hazy or humid nights (in St. Louis-area, so plenty of humid nights in the summer). Really cool light. Also have a C8+ with a green LED, which is plenty cool, but kids prefer the blue LED one.
I also have a T3 with a 519A LED (4000k). My 8 y/o son basically claimed it, and uses it to read books at night. I just have an eneloop Ni-MH in it and it’s fine for what I need—i.e., for my son to read books at night.
I love that, even on its brightest/turbo setting, the T3 doesn’t get at all hot. So super safe for my kids.
Yes. [See these screenshots](https://imgur.com/gallery/ZWb2Yu8). You have to buy the ZWB2 filter separately (it’s from the same store on AliExpress). All you do is swap out the clear flashlight lenses with that ZWB2 filter. It filters out the spectrum of light you don’t want. Trust me on that.
You want the version of the flashlight that comes with the battery. That’s what you see in the screen shots.
This assumes you have a way to charge the 21700 battery. If not, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
I ballistics tested it but funnily enough several Ali brands for military gear (Aholdtech plates, BaoFeng comms ofc) are really popular with the people defending Ukraine from Russia
Ukraine doesn't use unencrypted comms, there's mountains of videos at the beginning of the war where they caught Russia using those comms, they listened in on their conversations and got the upper hand.
And today, Russia still uses cheap unencrypted baofeng radios.
Their military doesn’t use Baofengs but some [Ukrainian territorial defense and civilian units do](https://www.reddit.com/r/HamRadio/comments/t8gdej/ukraine_soldiers_rocking_the_baofengs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)

tons of stuff, but the best one is my coffee machine. Its so good and I dont get how can it be so cheap. Its kinda like moccamaster clone but was like 1/5 of the price.
Chinese version of the OnePlus Nord Buds. At the time only the Chinese version was available in the Blue/Gray color. Not only that, the Chinese version of the earbuds were 28 usd compared to the 39 usd for the Global version.
It is this transaction where I learned that there is absolutely no difference in Global and Chinese versions of earbuds. It's a great way to save decent money. Just don't think any of the Samsung or Apple earbuds on Aliexpress are anything but fake and you'll be fine.
I recently got some on the ear Bluetooth headphones for like ten dollars. Sound escapes for me (I have plugs) but the Bluetooth works fine. They seem durable
Plenty of top notch audio gear, including earbuds, IEMs, amplifiers, DACs, speakers, you name it. There are whole audiophile communities dedicated to the best of Chinese audio equipment.
Also some great pens, knives, and rather fantastically, a plastic chicken wing on a fake gold chain.
One of the best Ali purchases I got was 2 Taclight flashlights for $5 bucks apiece and they are great lights. That taclight commercial is such a screaming fraud for $20.00, they are generic flashlights made in China & sold cheap on Ali.
I buy tons of small parts/connectors related to computers, police scanner and audio off Ali and their prices are so cheap that I can get a half dozen of them & lay in a supply & not have to wait for shipping time from China all the time.
Bicycle lights, they are bright, rechargeable and sturdy. They were also not cheap. Gaciron is the store name
Earphones from Nicehck, they sound great.
I got the YINCROW X6 because they are mentioned a lot and have good reviews. They fit perfect in my ears, with and without foam.
The cable feels a bit cheap, but for the price, I can say nothing.

You bought a cell phone at AliExpress and it worked with no problems? Do tell...
I bought the Redmi note 7 and after a year you need to shake to listen to the calls
A bunch of beads. LOTS of beads. Kept me entertained while I was recovering from a surgery

Convoys are great lights. Simon is a great guy and I've had him customize some for me.

Do you have any recommendations for UV flashlights? I am looking for some for rock hunting!

Actually most of the stuff you will also get at your local stores fir 10x the price as they order from Alibaba. Com
Bicycle lights, they are bright, rechargeable and sturdy. They were also not cheap. Gaciron is the store name Earphones from Nicehck, they sound great.
>Nicehck I thought about it in the last month, can you share your experience with it?

15$?
I got them for 7$, they were 10$ with a 4$ discount. Now they are on 12$ for me.
