I hope this isn't perceived as advertising.. I'm quite apprehensive about making this purchase and will absolutely update with my progress if/when the console arrives.
In the meantime, if anyone out there has any experience buying through AliExpress I would love to hear from you. This is my first purchase and I feel like it's a total gamble.
If this is somehow perceived as advertising, mods please delete immediately. I do not want to violate any rules. This community is too awesome to lose!
At this point, AliExpress is my #1 choice for anything a) made overseas anyways and b) that I don't need right away. It's usually parts or trinkets; for example, the last thing I bought was a kit to supplement my mahjong playing set.
In this case though, this feels overpriced for a used/refurbished model. If you were going to take on this much perceived risk, I'm surprised you didn't go with one $150 or less on eBay or a local exchange like Facebook Marketplace or something.
I used to use temu all the time I bought a bunch of really nice fake bayblade Then decided I should delete the app after spyware claims
