Identical bluetooth OBDII scanners: Aliexpress $2.98 shipped, Amazon $10.99 shipped
IME this is a fairly typical price ratio. Sometimes they are much closer though. Of course Amazon ships it in 2 days instead of weeks. The "Bezos tax" is largely paying for the very convenient logistics of US warehousing.

- Stratoscope 8y agoThose are not identical items. Look at the photos: the one sold on Amazon is much smaller.
- opencl 8y agoOh sorry, the Aliexpress listing includes quite a few variants and the one I was referring to apparently isn't selected by default. The one on the far left is the same as the Amazon listing. But the point is, search for any popular product category on both sites and you will see largely the same items, with Amazon typically somewhere from 2-5x as expensive.

- sumedh 8y agoAliexpress takes around 30 to 60 days for shipping, what about Amazon in the US?
