Mainlines my addiction to cheap chinee stuff. Cuts out the Amz middleman. Chairman Xi says thank you for supporting his country with $120 (so far).

$120 $150 (so far)
This is a good place for cheap construction/repair consumables (drill bits, simple hand tools, tapes, etc.), a cheaper direct-from-CH version of Northern Tools & Harbor Freight.
It appears Temu is doing some warehousing/shipping within the US (some tracking originated in NY). ETA on orders is 1-2 weeks (we'll see).
There aren't as many true deals on Amazon like there used to be.
Most of the stuff is unbranded, though I did see some (supposedly) Anker chargers and battery packs. A lot of the small tool & equipment items are generic accessory items like drill bits, tile cutting guides, sandpaper, and saw blades. Most are probably limited-use consumer grade. As I tend to abuse tools and -particularly- consumables & accessories, throwaways generally work out well for me.
Very cheap titanium camping gear. You're right - dangerous site.
Ripe for Facebook Marketplace and/or Amz vendor arbitrage?
