Here’s the Aliexpress link to buy the package with wifi, LCD and camera, it’s about 40% more expensive than "taobao.com" if you’re not a Chinese citizen with ID but still cheap as: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LEORY-Sipeed-M1-Dock-Development-Board-2-4-inch-320-240-LCD-Screen-OV2640-Camera-Kit/32968590089.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LEORY-Sipeed-M1-Dock-Develop...

Careful - that's just the dev board without the M1 MCU itself. Taobao is pretty easy to access through the use of reshippers, I've used superbuy.com with much success but there are loads of options out there to pick up deals from Taobao and have them sent out of mainland China.

  > I've used superbuy.com with much success but there are loads of options out there to pick up deals from Taobao and have them sent out of mainland China. Please do tell more! I just made a Superbuy account but can't for the life of me figure out how to use it. I'm somewhat fluent in Mandarin (my reading's a little rusty), so if that opens up additional options I'd love to know of them.

    I had zero problems with Superbuy, copy the taobao or jd.com url to the top search bar and from there it should be trivial. Now, I do not have the taobao URL to show you but here's an interesting device (takes wide range DC via 5.5mm x 2.5mm plug and spits up two USB C and one USB A connection) https://item.jd.com/36832086035.html https://item.jd.com/36832086035.html and via superbuy https://www.superbuy.com/en/page/buy?nTag=Home-search&from=search-input&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitem.jd.com%2F36832086035.html https://www.superbuy.com/en/page/buy?nTag=Home-search&from=s... add a cheap old 170W laptop charger from Lenovo with the right plug converter https://www.ebay.com/itm/282597814816 https://www.ebay.com/itm/282597814816 and presto, you have a super high wattage desktop USB charging station.
