Yea sure, with 90$ shipping great bargain.

Don’t bother with the “Gaga Sale”. There’re only 5 pieces or something of each and always some Russian using automated bots will get them all. This is even more popular than Wallbuys so there’s almost no chance to get.

But the regular sales are to go after. Cheap even before coupons. But make sure to double check during the sale day to make sure seller hasn’t inflated the price.

Yep that’s exactly right. Normally I find more lights I want to buy than my budget will allow. But always from normal lights that are on sale for that day only and I also use a coupon. There won’t be many 50% off lights but lots of them will be 10-30 percent off and with a coupon you can pick them up even cheaper.

i didn’t know they had a BLF coupon.

Dont thing there is a BLF coupon.

No BLF coupon, you have to play their silly game. That or normally just before the sale starts they offer some for free or during the sale they also give some away at the start of the hour. Limited quantities. They also sell some coupons for a buck.

Are the coupons only for higher prices like 30$ and up like the game coupons or for the small lights as well?
I have some lights on my watchlist, but most are cheap ones.

The coupons have a minimum purchase requirement although if you purchase from the same seller you can combine them to meet the minimum. Also make sure to put anything you see that you want in your watch list because the day before or the day of the sale some of them will probably be discounted. So even if you don’t hit the minimum you will most likely have a couple that are on sale. There are several sellers on aliexpress that you probably know already. Wallbuys for instance has a store so does Ric who sells the Shocker and other lights. I mentioned the Yupard dealer earlier for this reason as well. They have several nice lights for cheap already and combining a few of them can allow you to use a coupon and get a super good deal.

Last time on sale I used two coupons:
2$ off 10$
5$ off 25$

Now there is only 3$ off 29$ (smallest total).

Doesn’t look that good anymore but lets see on 19th.

It’s quite good if you already have something on your mind - e.g a tablet at $80. During the sale it probably drops 10% to $72. Sounds like wishful thinking but this actually tend to happen since there are so many sellers. After that you can also apply $10 coupon at the price, making it $62. That’s close to 25% discount, very good deal I must say.

Aliexpress also don’t seem to mind multiple accounts, so practically no limit on the coupon (as long as you don’t mind playing the silly games).

Yep and I think I have about six accounts now. I’m not even sure why I ended up with so many but I think it was just that I changed e-mail addresses a bunch over the years and it was easier to just start a new account than keep track of my old addresses and check them all the time.

Does it include a plastic tube to fit an 18650?
Does anybody own this light? Is it any good?

meh…there is no flashlight :expressionless:

Is this a good buy $12.27? I always wanted a multi-tool.

This Aliexpress looks interesting. Definitely a differnt way of doing things compared to Alibaba years ago.

Freeme - it is not bad but not the deal they claim.

Do understand that it is not a leatherman (nor the one you show) but nowhere near the cost. I use my snap-on every night.

I have that multitool from WB promotions a while back for $5 (at lease very, very similar). It’s still good deal for $12 but main problem for my unit is that there are no lock mechanism for knife and other tools and they tend to open by themselves. That’s such a PITA. I haven’t tried to tighten a screw though because on other side a screw is tighter (should be) and it’s not easy to open tools there. You get what you pay for.

looking through there upcoming 50% off sale for lights, i couldn’t find anything that was worth buying and the prices were hugely inflated
I really hope they announce more items as this year will be a huge dissapointment.

E17 zoomie $7.80 originally $43.35 :frowning:

another zoomie $3.93

Far Striker hand Lantern $16.50

cree yellow angle head q5 $13.71

Cree clone Q5 headlamp 9.88

Cree clone Q3 headlamp

> another zoomie $3.93

That’s — unbelievable — actually $13.09
for a $7 light.

I think they’re on to us and figured out we’re suckers.

Good to see more new flashlights, including budget ones are adopting XP-L.
