Basically, the same stuff they sell in the stores they were offering for a fraction of the price. Showed it to some friends, they didn’t believe it, saying those must be cheap fakes. Don’t know, maybe so. But it seems that our retailers just had their golden age

I ran into the same discovery (not Alibaba) a few years back doing research on security cameras. After hours of searching including Far East web sites, I was offered a new security camera on a pre-order basis directly from a manufacturer. It was pennies on the dollar. I skipped the offer, but the price difference was astounding.
