    Your 2nd gig job is demolition cleanup

    Massive work order, ppl working double shifts, pissing in bottles, clearing out all the Sacred Inventory after the drone strike, so the Oligarch lady can complain how many billions she’s losing.

    Tell me

    Tell me you would never ever grab a couple high-end wristwatches from among the wreckage, stuff 'em in your undies, and not worry about rent for a few months

      that may be some of it. but there’s also a lot of product on wb that was originally sourced from aliexpress to begin with… and there’s third-party merchants that sell their products on both platforms (and others, like ozon).

        Even here in Canada Amazon random junk prices are 2-3x that exact same junk on Aliexpress.

          TBF that’s cuz you get next day delivery not 10 business days.

          Also with Ali there’s knockoffs of knockoffs you have to watch out for.

            With Aliexpress, I expect cheap crap and I’m never disappointed. The key is to only shop for the kind of stuff where cheap crap is good enough.

        Exactly, I doubt that even 10% of products on WB are “original”. It’s all just flipping and dropshipping.
