There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.

Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12

Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16

Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.

Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?

    Not sure where you saw this, but I think it’s possible. The thing is a lot of the stuff available on Temu is sold on Amazon for a higher price. So, I think the cheap prices come from cutting out the markup added by an American importer.

      As far as I understood It’s not even denying the producers a profit, it’s forcing them to take the loss on the products, just to take a market share.

      Amazon ‘only’ prohibits suppliers to make profit (and then buy the company if the product sells).
