On one particular item - high power, high voltage small form factor DC-DC converter (that was few years ago) the price was around $300 on Mouser / Digikey vs $25 from Aliexpress. I needed 125 of those. Make a wild guess where did I buy from. And no, I did not get scammed. The converters are still merrily chugging along.
