Where to buy cheap tech and "things"
I want online stores to buy tech and other items (not clothing, I already have a few stores for that. Although if a specific store has clothing in addition to the things I'm asking for is fine). Kind of like aliexpress, but I don't like aliexpress as I can't get off the feeling that I will be scammed if I shop there, because Aliexpress consists of many sellers, some of them are scams, and you really shouldn't buy tech in aliexpress. So preferably something that is its own store, kind of like shein.
Most " cheap" tech you buy from any other location is just repackaged AliExpress stuff. Skip the middleman
And I’m almost sure that most sellers on Aliexpress buy from one common vendor since they all sell the same things. Funny I guess.
Which company is the
Borg queendirect source? We must go deeper!
My problem with Aliexpress is that I always see people saying that you shouldn't buy tech in Aliexpress as there are a lot of scams like for example. I recently saw a post saying they have bought some solar panels which said they were 300w but they were actually 30w. And for some reason Aliexpress wouldn't let them refund.
Most manufacturers have some sort of “outlet” where they sell clearance models, refurbs, returns, etc. I’ve had good luck with Lenovo, Apple, Olympus, and Panasonic. But I wouldn’t say there’s a single storefront or service for all of those, you have to know what you want already.
Here in Seattle we have a used electronics store called re PC. It has actually decent, modern electronics from gpus, to printers, to tvs, all at a reasonable price. See if you have something like that near you.
