Also check out AliExpress if looking for an android phone. One thing to watch out is make sure you are buying a global version. Another trick is watch for coupons from the seller, as well as Alibaba. When I got my phone a few months ago, I stacked coupons and ended up saving as much as 1/3 of the price of the phone (which was a newly released model then).

If looking for cheap electronic/PC gadgets, worth checking out AliExpress. Delivery is fast enough these days. Also prices for some items can be much better than buying on eBay from local sellers.

If looking for Adidas sneakers, also check out the Adidas store on eBay. The Adidas eBay store actually carries some of the same sneakers as the official Adidas website. But prices on eBay can be much cheaper.

If looking for Sony items, check out the Sony store on eBay. Sony is using eBay as its clearance channel for older models. We bought a "box damaged" TV (3-year old model) at almost 50% discount to the latest model. When our "box damaged" TV arrived, the box was in perfect condition. The TV was brand new actually (but 2023/2024 model if I am not mistaken).
