Should I chance it?

Found a thrunite ti for $5.99 with a free shipping on Aliexpress. I don't have much experience with the site (ordered one thing about a week ago so waiting on delivery), also the seller doesn't have much feedback so I don't know if he is selling this cheap to boost rep or if he is a scammer. I wouldn't be so hesitant if they took paypal but they do not so...

What do you guys think is it worth the risk? I know worst case I only lose $6 bucks but still feels kind of too good to be true at roughly 50% off.

That price is possible, a while back Thrunite sold them at that price. What worries me is this part.

"Ships out within 25 days"

Blah sorry for the wasted thread guys the more I mull it over the more I realize I don't want to deal with headaches for a $6 order, and I have a strong feeling that it will happen. I'd just rather avoid that.

As always thank you scaru you always reply to my stupid threads :P

With the long holiday cycle coming, seems like somebody traveling could be gone 3 weeks plus from when it was listed?

EDIT: PS to OP, maybe contact seller to see if they will do PP? The site is like ebay, the sellers are different from each other . . so there is no way any of us could know unless someone just happens to have used that particular individual seller.

Thats a good idea GottaZoom I might give that a shot. Thanks.

You have a kind of buyer protection on aliexpress, never used it but you have to confirm receipt of an order after that the dealer gets his money.

The aliexpress system is actually safer than paypal, they don’t even release the money to the seller until you get back to them to let them know you have got it and it’s all ok.

Whether you want the hassle though is a different matter.
