What other stuff do you guys buy direct from China?

[Oolak]

I remember there was a thread on here about generic direct from China smart phones that are actually really nice phones and are way less expensive than your standard Apple/Android phones, but was wondering if there were other things you guys randomly picked up while trolling through aliexpress/ebay/alibaba?

Personally, I buy replica watches like nobody's business because they are so cheap and look pretty nice. I have one of every color of the Daniel Wellington replicas: http://www.aliexpress.com/af/daniel-wellington.html?ltype=wholesale&SearchText=daniel+wellington&d=y&origin=n&initiative_id=AS_20150627021853&isViewCP=y&catId=1511

$4 and I get compliments on them all the time.



Kinda random thread topic I guess but was just curious if there was some other cool stuff you guys bought that you thought were good deals. I know I was pumped as hell when I realized I could get these watches for so little $$$.

I've had great luck with the $20 1200 lumen bike lights that i got from Amazon. Pretty much disposable at that price. My wife gets these birthday candles for the kids that look like flowers and almost burn the house down with all the sparks that they shoot out.

Those CREE LED lights are amazing for the price.  I have two and I use them non-stop.  Even for things around the house.  Kids always love to play with them when camping too.

Yes! Those CREE LED lights are a ridiculous bargain.

I got Cree Lights as well from China.

Also my brother and I picked up a pair of carbon fiber kayak paddles for racing from alibaba...
similar to these ( http://www.epickayaks.com/product/product/epic-mid-wing )

I still haven't pulled trigger on my IP-036 (or I guess now my CS-036!) due to continuing to be cautious on large-ish purchases of the "want" instead of "need" variety.

I have purchased 2 Nitefighter BT40s and they are brilliant. In both definitions of the word.

I got the first one on Amazon for around $65. I wanted to see if I liked it before I got a second and when I saw it on Gearbest for $50 I couldn't resist.

I've done a few rides with one and just one is really enough for night riding but I wanted one on the bar and one on the helmet to really light up the forest. I just received the second and haven't used the combo yet.

It even came with a quality battery.
I highly recommend it.

I recently got this for my fixie (a Haro Projekt).  For when I decide to do some long ride. A 2-bottle saddle-rail mount bottle cage mount.

And this one as a backup for when I think I need a 3rd water bottle of just a single bottle for the fixie.  A single bottle cage mount for the handle bar or seat post.

Can't comment on the quality yet as I still haven't received the items.
