Hi bro, thanks for your time and big reply..
I can prove that all the mass discount (11.11) on aliexpress is total crap. They just increase price twice and put the original as sale price ..For example, I purchased 300+ products from there and i am plutinum member and because of this they give few products on 50% discount, but you know what? I opened incongnito mode and check same product price without login and price is 100% same.
Samething happen on 11.11 (they will start increasing price from 15 days earlier). Offcourse there is exceptions and that depends on individual seller, i found only 1 graphics card last year that actually lower than original.
As bluedio t6 not worth 50$.... Should i buy bt800 from edifier.. And i already have Bluetooth transmitter but i want one actual Bluetooth headphone this time... No special requirement just may be good mids... No need over bass.
Thanks bro
It depends on the seller. Some sellers don’t change the price at all. Others definitely do.
And yes, prices fluctuate all of the time. This is no different than what amazon does!
I sometimes watch individuals items for a year or more, checking on prices every few weeks and with multiple sellers. This allows me to understand what the “normal” price is on an item, and when it it’s on sale if it is truly a “deal” or not.
I can honestly say there are definitely deals to be had.
For example, let’s take the Tin Audio T2. It usually sells for around $48-$50. This is with multiple sellers. However, when it is on sale (anniversary sale, 11.11) it drops to about $30. And with select and seller coupons, you can usually get a few more dollars off. After watching the T2 prices for a year, I was able to get mine for $28. That’s almost half off the average price.
However, there is another IEM I had been watching for 1 year. It was always about $22, usually only fluctuating $0.50-$1. The most I ever saw it drop in price was $2 (10%). Big whoop. Anyways, I went ahead and bought it when it was on sale, but what convinced me to pull the trigger was the seller offered a $1 off $19 coupon. So I got it for $19 instead of $22. Still cheaper than the average regular price, but certainly not some mind blowing deal.
Also, some sellers are cheaper than others, even for the same item. And some sellers have seller coupons, where others don’t.
So bottom line is that Aliexpress isn’t stable and predictable on every product and every seller. I don’t go on there on a whim thinking “today I’m going to buy a video card and I expect it to be 50% off”. It takes patience and planning, and careful analysis between sellers. And even then I still check the price of an item on other sites - Amazon, eBay, gearbest, tmall, deal extreme, Banggood, etc. Sometimes eBay has something cheaper. Other times it’s gearbest. And despite Amazon usually being more expensive, sometimes there’s flash sales, or coupons, or even a seller getting rid of something below cost. I recently picked up an IEM on Amazon for $16 because the seller was getting rid of old stock at below cost. The same IEM is on eBay and Aliexpress for $60 (and it’s never on sale).
