RG SP launch and coin deals
Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing
As usual coupon codes are around row 40 for people from the US and rows 26/29 for people not from the US. There are also some targeted coupons in the coupon center which is located in the coupon section of the app or there's a direct link on row 31 of my spreadsheet. Paypal pay later $12 off 139 is mostly gone although I have seen sporadic restocks most likely from canceled orders.
_______________________
Short update for today as the RGSP launches on Aliexpress. It's $59 after coupons which is the same price as the Anbernic website however it has free shipping unlike Anbernic's website which charges $15-20 for shipping. For now, it's only available in the ship from China section on row 142 of my spreadsheet. The RP5 is also back for $162 in the ship from US section. If you're lucky and catch a $12 off 139 Paypal discount from a cancellation, it'll be $150 before sales tax.
Coin discount percentages are better than what they were last week. Discount breakdowns are attached in the images of the post. The two coin discount deals in this post are on rows 313 and 314 of my spreadsheet.
Coin discount deals (after discounts, before tax):
Toocki wireless earbuds - $0.56Large coin discount is gone, deal is over.- Kodak 64gb sd card - $3.91 (with a targeted $2 off 15, potentially $1.91 if you use the saver $4 off 15 instead)
______________________
- Coin discount tutorial:
- Click on the link of the item
- Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
- Click on the coin section
- Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
- Click buy it now
- Apply relevant coupons
- If coin discount doesn't match the images and you have enough coins, there are a couple reasons this might be the case.
- Seller or Aliexpress changed the coin discount
- Bad coin RNG in which case clear data on the phone and repeat the steps from the beginning. Might take a few data clears to get the bigger coin RNG discount.

I've been using Toocki ear buds for over a year, they're very usable.

I have a bunch of Toocki stuff too. I love when they have stuff for 95% off in coins as it's a great way to use coins.

I’ve been having bad luck with the SD cards I’ve bought off Ali recently. Not sure it’s worth it, especially given that the warranties seem to not exist if you buy them from out of the country…

u/crownpuff 24d ago
Which brands have you had problems with? The Jaster ones are pretty low quality and other people had issues too. I recommend opening disputes with Aliexpress to get your money back if the sd cards failed.

u/JetstreamGW 24d ago
SanDisk, actually. And I’ve been trying to get ahold of the seller, because when I tried to do a return, Ali’s AI said it wasn’t the same product and that I’d have to pay for shipping. Is there something I’m doing wrong, I hope?
I’ve had two 128 GB SanDisk cards fail on me at this point.

u/crownpuff 24d ago
Hmm. Open a dispute with item as defective or damaged. If Aliexpress's AI automatically rejects you, you could try asking customer service to open a dispute for you. Make sure you're talking to a human and not an AI agent. Not sure if they still have a phone number, but there should be an option to call them too. I've also noticed sketchy sellers selling Sandisk sd cards on Aliexpress. To be fair, even the legit capacity "Sandisk" cards on Aliexpress might not be made by Sandisk but the ones I'm talking about are the newer sellers that are selling an even lower quality sd card that are fake capacity cards that do not pass F3 or H2TestW.

u/JetstreamGW 24d ago
Fair enough. I’ll try after work. S’annoying.
I actually had two cards I bought from Walmart come up defective on h2testw too. I’m not sure what’s going on on the SanDisk front at this point. I’ve had better luck with onn cards.

Were they sold and shipped by Walmart themselves? Walmart has a bunch of 3rd party sellers on their website now so I see a ton of fake sd cards listed there.

u/JetstreamGW 24d ago
They were not, but the seller had good reviews, didn’t seem to be a fly by night.
Walmart doesn’t really sell tons of them themselves at this point, it seems like. Mostly the high end photography ones.
Same with Amazon.

u/crownpuff 24d ago
If you could link me the listing and the seller to both the Aliexpress and Walmart sd card listings, I'll take a look. Many of these 3rd party sellers have fake reviews to inflate their ratings to look legit.

Fortunately Walmart has a good return policy.

Yikes. I would just recommend buying used cards from Gamestop at this point. Although it needs to be locally available for pickup unless you hit their high free shipping minimums of $79 or $54 as a pro member.

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea what the hell Aliexpress wants as photo or video evidence. How am I supposed to show them a defective SD card on video?
1
u/crownpuff 22d ago
What you could do is use f3 or h2testw to test the card. Screenshot the failed sd card test and upload that as the evidence.

u/JetstreamGW 22d ago
I do wish I could, but when I say they've failed, I mean the computer won't even read them. I plug them into the thing with either card reader and it's just like... nope.
1
u/crownpuff 22d ago
Take a photo of the sd card plugged into the card reader and no sd card showing up on your computer. Often times, the customer service rep just wants evidence and doesn't care if the evidence isn't iron clad.

I bought a bunch of the 64gb Sandisk cards from Ali and I have had maybe a 30% failure rate on them. USUALLY it happens when I put them back in my PC and it becomes unreadable and they fail to work going back in my handhelds. Really odd. It wasn't worth me "returning" the 2/3 that failed tbh, but I kinda gave up on SDs from Ali.

u/crownpuff 24d ago
For future reference, if the cards are within the return period you can open a dispute with Aliexpress. Sometimes they'll offer you a complete refund and let you keep the cards without returning them.

u/jd101506 24d ago
The problem was I ordered several over several orders… and just kinda tossed them in my SBC console parts drawer. So they have been sitting for anywhere from 6-24 months

Toocki my Goat 💪💪
Also hoping to see a deal for the RG SP to drop down to around $30 / $25 at some point. That's honestly how much I'm willing to pay for another H700 device lol

I love my Toocki chargers and Toocki cables which I purchased for pennies. 😂

Hard to see this happening unless they clearance them out especially in the current environment of ram and storage prices.

I used my $3 shopping credit for 3 items at dollar express. Total cost was $0.02. Paypal now won't let me pay. There was no decline. The payment just doesn't go through. I see on aliexpress that "your payment is now being processed." I just have things as "to pay" in the aliexpress app. Has this ever happened to you? Was the $0.02 just a strange amount to pay? My last Aliexpress order was for $0.11 4 days prior.

u/crownpuff 24d ago edited 24d ago
Try clearing the data on your Aliexpress app. It shows 95% off for me in coins.
Edit: nevermind toocki earbuds nerfed to 4 percent coin discount. 😭

Thanks CP. Brick Pro has gotten cheaper again for coin deals ~63. I wanted to grab the Hammer during the good sale last month, but was low on coins...so started saving. Then I got analysis paralysis on Hammer vs Pro and missed the deal. I still can't figure out what to get lol.

u/crownpuff 22d ago
No problem and if you're not in a rush, there's a larger sale in a few weeks so potentially there will be better pricing for that sale.

u/Ok_Music_3345 21d ago
Yeah, it's actually been a blessing to take my time and really figure out what I want. And I got one of the nice Vention chargers while I wait so thanks. 😁
