11.11 sales 2024: tips and general how-to

Didn’t find any sales yet that have tickled my balls.

For some reason my browser isn’t drag-n-dropping images onto that image-search popup but it works reasonably well with a saved and uploaded image file. But I just found another potentially easier method: if you put the product on your Wishlist, there’s a “View similar items” option in each product’s More drop-down option on the Wishlist screen.

hmm, are you using the “ctrl + c” and then “ctrl + v” method?

how good is moondrop dawn pro in the current market? planning to get it with my 2nd coupon. I wanna get fosi ds2 but not available on linsoul. On Aliexpress its 53€ but the moondrop dawn pro + tangzu sancais tips i can get for 35€ only on linsoul with coupon. Just scared abt the moondrop qc ngl

No, didn’t cross my mind, I was doing mouse drag-n-drop. But now that I’ve tried the Ctrl stuff it also doesn’t work. If you mean to try to select the image as if I was selecting text, then Ctrl-C. I can’t Ctrl-V that into the search box or the image-search popup, it doesn’t do anything. Drag-n-drop is handled OK visually, just has no effect. And I’ve disabled my anti-Javascript and adblock too, so it’s not from that. So I have to stick with mobile or with the Wishlist way, because saving screenshots to file is too much hassle. Besides, a few times in the past I got the impression some coupons or best prices weren’t showing up on PC, I may have got confused but just in case I like to do it all on mobile when finally ordering.

Nah, using the snippet tool if you are on windows or if you dont have it, install flameshot and then ctrl-c and then ctrl-v into the aliexpress box.

Never heard of snippet, and I’m on Linux. :slight_smile:

Try to ask this kind of stuff in gear-focused topics, this is a topic for how to get the best deals/prices between different sellers and discount mechanisms.

Use flameshot then, that is what im using in Linux Mint.

Oh, that’s just a screenshot app. I have a screenshot app, it just doesn’t paste into that search popup. I think this is a browser thing (Vivaldi, Chromium-based), and I’m not about to switch browsers just for this one function, I can always go to the Wishlist view and access the search I need in 2 clicks.

hmmm, what browser is it? Im on brave and have no issues.

aight sorry!

also prices for some items I was eyeing on ali got higher when the sale started lmao

Typical as the discounts via coupons or other sources would have made the discounts very big and now they also look better.
100 to 80 = 20% off
or
110 to 80 = 37,5% off

Linsoul’s Ali store has the pic with all the platform-wide discount codes BTW:

Nice to see, since I wasn’t getting the smaller value ones as collectible coupons on the Ali app’s Home screen.

Power of the sale. (doesnt even cancel out my 25% vat sadly…)


Example of me splitting up an order so I could get the biggest discount I could (believe it was spend 269 usd and get 40 usd off). And then spend the smaller order where I used the spend 39 usd and get 5 usd off.

(bought an 1TB NVME along with a full kit for the Orange Pi 5 Plus 16GB.)

What’s with this BS? On apos they consider it a sale to have some made-up price as the “original price”…


Aren’t the Meze 109s typically $800?
