China Wholesale - Wholesale Electronics - Dropship From China

http://www.chinavasion.com/

Thanks to my friend Richard for pointing me to this great site for total geeks. Electronic toys galore, at knockdown prices, direct from China. Important proviso - almost all look pretty awful, but the site is honest about their failings and ridiculously rich in information about them, so it is easy to decide not to buy things. But who needs Apple, Samsung, or Sony when you can get a no-name budget dual SIM Android phone for $70? Or any number of watch-phones, projectors, remote controlled doodahs and accessories to fit any need? Well, me. But I like browsing this site.

    Are you familiar with DealExtreme? Aside from a custom-crafted eBay search, they're my favourite place for stuff from China and they've got a much wider selection on the low end.

    Do you think China people get the lame duck's answer?

    DealExtreme looks cool, thanks Stephan.

    @Louise, I think that China is a source of a wonderfully diverse range of products. There's more of both the high and the low quality stuff, to suit all needs and pockets. A few of the things on these sites are at least as good as their more well-known counterparts at a fraction of the cost, many more are very lame, with corners cut in ways it's hard to condone, but a lot of the rest fill niches that are not big enough to exploit in N. America or that are deliberately squashed by telecoms companies and big-box suppliers. There's a lot more choice, and I like that.
