      True, you need to understand things like no you won’t get a 4TB SSD for 25€, but they have lots and lots of mechanical and electronics that are totally OK IMO. I even have a couple of training shorts from there and basically everything except the hot-end for my homebrew 3D printer comes from there (or Alibaba before that). For example.

        I get LOTS of bulk order microprocessors, LED strings, shit tons of random electronic crap for pennies compared to even Amazon. I don’t mind the wait.
