Having waited and suspended all my internet shopping activities for almost two months, salivating in anticipation for the heavy discounts associated with black Friday(11-11). I am disappointed!!!
With the intension to purchase some of the somewhat expensive electronic components ( I dabble into instrumetation & automation) such as the raspberry pi 3 and other micro controllers on Aliexpress. The sellers gave me a shock. Here is there gimmick; they'll bring down the actually price of the component (usually after taking it higher than the original price) . alternatively, they'll actually bring down the overall price, but increase the shipping fee to compensate for the price.
After scouring through many offers, I was able to get some discount on few component though not any how close to the discount promised. Even my account bank account can attest to that.
