Double The Price In BG Land???

Damm that’s brutal! I think we all need a beer now… and maybe more $$$ too for sure. :laughing:

Maybe they’re lonely without GB and want to join them.

A wise person once told me there’re two things in the world that you can’t escape from, death and taxes. So regarding time, there is no way one can go back physically to yesterday correct? That means we have “used up” our allotted time slot from yesterday and it’s gone forever. Tomorrow we will have used up another allotted time slot. Therefore time is not finite for us mortal beings as we are given a set amount of allotted time to be used up and no more. Does this all make sense to anyone? :slight_smile:

Look on the bright side: tomorrow will be another today :innocent:

I like Banggood, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went the way of the dino...direct.

Maybe. Just lately they seem to be raising prices and also making a lot of mistakes like GB did during their decline. Just noticed the Wildtrail WT3M comes up $2 more then what the listing shows when checking out. Used WyDRA’s BG code and price is still $3 higher then Aliexpress. Might be time to move on from BG which is a shame as they are by far the fastest shipping to me.

Hey I just had a eureka moment! Price Matching! :+1:

Already tried, it just confused them.

Not when I get tru with them. :smiling_imp:

I almost always order on Ali, in comparison with BG it is cheaper, even if we take into account coupons. Plus to this: marriage often comes with BG, and in the case of Ali, I receive a full refund, and not a discount on the next purchase ...

but if u pay with paypal u are always fully recovered.

Banggood is false advertising most things at elevated sale prices. I rarely buy from them unless I’m desperate for something no one else has. Distrust on in stock prior to ordering and waiting for months only to hear it was never in stock, and may never be restocked.

Right now I want a MF04 reflector for a build and BG is the only place I can find it, but they will not answer me if they have a lens too, so that idea is dead. :weary:

Those BG chumps and their algorithms. No wonder they’re getting screwed worldwide. Bahaha my heated exchange recently, and just for the hay too …

Hank33: “Do you know how to use a calculator man?”
BG: “Pls friend no argue and we can give you discount”
Hank33: “Discount? I don’t your discount! I want your soul muahahahaha” :smiley:

Have you include their shipping charges for AliExpress? Secondly, their prices are closely controlled by WT.

That was only 1 example and you actually prove my point. There are many others hence this thread. As I mentioned, you often need a discount code to get a price close to other sellers regular price. I don’t believe that is due to WT’s price control. BG’s prices in general are noticeably higher then they were a year ago. Prices on Chinese products have risen lately due to several factors but that doesn’t explain why Banggoods prices are very often higher then others now even taking shipping into account.

This is very noticeable to me as I buy almost everything but groceries online because I often can’t get what I want in local stores and don’t like dealing with traffic, parking and crowds in the city. BG has been the most covenient because of their fast shipping but I’m growing to dislike them for their clever tricks and policies that are obviously meant to maximize their profits. The recent price increases are one of these.

BTW, The WT3M price shows as 46.90 in the listing but is 48.90 at checkout. Probably just an error but I’m not going to spent 25 min. of my time while they try to figure it out. The last 2 times I called CS the service very much reminded me of GB during their decline.

Easy but not easy. :laughing: :money_mouth_face:

What? I hope Simon didn’t get burned by them. I think they used to sell a lot of Convoy

Weren’t they bootlegging Convoys for a while, though?

Someone was selling ’em, and it’s like… wait a sec… Convoys are cheap enough to buy, why would someone want to crank out bootleg ones??

Those from GB with the 1B emitters (about as blue-green as you could get), I don’t think Simon deliberately came out with, but who knows.

Don’t really know for sure. I guess we could ask Simon. He’s never been one to mince words.
