One issue that I have here, and I can't view it because the site is down, is that shipping will probably make any of these things not worth buying. Most $1 things aren't worth shipping. Unless you filter for only free shipping?

I've written a blog post on that very subject. Turns out you can have a $0.03 item mailed to you, including shipping, from China! http://romain.goyet.com/articles/free_shipping_from_china/

But you do have a have a lot of patience. It seems to be getting a lot slower. I just hit a new record: An item shipped on November 25th arrived last week to Canada.

I've had both, between a week and 2 months. About 2-3 things never arrived, but ali (better said the seller) gave the money back each time.
