There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.

Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12

Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16

Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.

Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?

    Temu is known for forcing their suppliers to sell below production costs so they can flood the market with cheap junk.

    So like all other electronics except the saving are actually passed on the the consumer?

      Nop, everything is below production costs… until they have the market. (Same way Amazon works, although they seem to just deny profit instead of forcing suppliers to take a loss on the sale)
