I can understand people buying local... which is fine IF you have local! My nearest is about 35km and caters mainly for carp fishing so what's the point. On top of that if you really look at the economics I am out of pocket for fuel if they don't have what I really want and if they don't you end up buying something because you have just wasted 5l of diesel
My eyes have been opened a bit after being in talks with someone who has a deal of experience buying off Ali Express. I am going to give them a try without leaving my living room. If I think I have bought a lot of shite I won't go back however my first foray buying five lures will be not much more than the cost of one full price Patchinko lure ... I am not breaking the bank and when I take into account that the del and packing is free it is much less the diesel would have been €6 .

[QUOTE="jambop, post: 24437, member: 606"] I can understand people buying local... which is fine IF you have local! My nearest is about 35km and caters mainly for carp fishing so what's the point. On top of that if you really look at the economics I am out of pocket for fuel if they don't have what I really want and if they don't you end up buying something because you have just wasted 5l of diesel :LOL: My eyes have been opened a bit after being in talks with someone who has a deal of experience buying off Ali Express. I am going to give them a try without leaving my living room. If I think I have bought a lot of shite I won't go back however my first foray buying five lures will be not much more than the cost of one full price Patchinko lure ... I am not breaking the bank :LOL: and when I take into account that the del and packing is free it is much less the diesel would have been €6 . [/QUOTE]
