I got a camping tent from aliexpress and it was pretty good. I have used it a couple times a year for about 4 years now. I think it's called the lanshan or something like that.

I bought an Anbernic RG351P from Aliexpress as well. I have used it for countless hours playing retro games on it. Not quite nintendo quality, but definitely a lot better than other emulator consoles I've used.

I've also bought some great quality clothes from taobao. No reps only stuff like raw denim, hoodies, and styles that aren't too popular in the US like high waisted pleated pants or heavy tees that are 11oz
