Aliexpress - are their Black Friday deals real, or is the "before" price generally a fake? I have no idea, and am potentially going to waste what little disposable income I have impulse buying! Please help me, seasoned ozbargainers! Is there any way to view item price history?

In case it helps, I'm specifically looking at craft kits like these:

and "lego compatible" building kits like these:

    Usually fake prices, generally all over the place, try this price history tracker https://www.aliprice.com/

        You can get genuine bargains with the coupons though.

    i would say use aliexpress as last resort, when you couldn't find the item or good price elsewhere.

    The sale price is ~5% off.

      Impulse buying averted! Thank you

    I've been looking for this item:

    Aliexpress link

    Lists as like $7, but that's from Spain only. Click China or Australia warehouse and suddenly $20+

    And they keep sending me e-mails saying it's "on sale" for $3.09.
