How's those tarrifs going?

in STEMGeeks6 months ago

I hear the tariffs over the land of orange man have started to take effect!

Luckily, we have no such thing here and me and the kiddo get to enjoy all kind of cheap stuff from Temu :D

Take this big ass fake Lego rocket base we got today for about 6 $, lol 😂

It took me about 2 hours to complete, here's a few photos of how it began:

And the final result

Sure, quality isn't as good as the original Lego but for 6$ you get a rocket, a launching base, a shuttle, a lunar Rover and a few figurines to top it off 😂

The same in an original Lego set would probably go for 100$. Yeah, no thanks.

Go team China!

Temu should launch their own coin, discounts for token holders, hold more get better discounts. different incentives for buyers and sellers on the site. a nice buy and burn thrown in pitched as a benevolent share buyback. they could really make a lot of moves which can boaster their reputation some more

Yeah, that makes sense actually. I wish big companies did shit like that it would be a fun experiment

with regulatory clearance there are endless possibilities

Apple launching a token, a true airdrop to all their customers based on what devices they bought under their Apple ID

Tokens can be bought and sold on the open market, X amount of Y's income goes to buying and burning tokens off the market. Discounts when paying with APPL tokens, built in burn mechanisms, discounts for hold a certain amount, like free APPLECARE or a free case when buying a certain iPhone (lets say a certain model in a certain colour isn't selling has much)...

We saw the growth when a country prints its own money

Now imagine the growth when everyone starts printing their on money

Heck it doesn't even need to be an airdrop lol. I hate apple but I definitely would speculate and buy & trade some!

Tarrifs going just fine...

:D

Woah that's !pimp

Thanks for the Pimp coin!

The prices are quite different when you compare them, but I wonder if the quality is any different. Just having a higher or lower price doesn't mean that the product might now suck. I do think that the official one is probably the one with better quality but you never know.

I'd say you pay 1/10 of price for about 70% of the quality. Unless you are a collector, temu is perfect for spoiling little brats

That seems decent for the price. I would that that deal for sure.

There's lots of unbelievably cheap stuff there. I have ended up even reselling some for a higher price after using them for a few months 😆

I love tariffs.. over price shit is even more expensive

TEMU seems to have been the second Aliexpress :)

It's called Free Market Competition.
The buyer chooses the product which suits their needs.
I support fair and free trade, I hope all these efforts provide that...

Hahaha, it's not original but you can put it together in two hours and it looks good. The important thing is to put your mind and effort into it and see the result. I think it's done very well. You know I'm sincere. It's one thing that I like you, another thing is telling the truth, and I'm very good at that.

You did great. It would take me weeks to probably put that together.

6$ it's like super cheap, lego would have been 50€... In Chinese it's written dumb who reads 🤣

Wow!!! Well done !!!

Lowkey jealous of that launch base 🤖 My inner 10-year-old is screaming!

It's amazing how cheap Chinese toys are. In some countries, you can't buy a hamburger or a cup of coffee for $6. In my time, a similar construction set could cost 10-15 trips to a children's cafe, with ice cream, cake and Pepsi.

With tariff that would cost as much as areal Lego.
!pimp

Mr Trump is really heating up the trade market. Been hearing of Temu for a while now, haven't yet tried them. Maybe nothing to order for now
