Have a guess, it's £58 what do you really think?

It's a Samsung. It's a plane. It's what ever you want it to be :sunglasses:

I don't think anyone will get this. they do this all the time with flash sales which they only have one and as soon as it goes lives it's sells out even before you get a chance to put it in your basket.

I dont know never seen one before but had a look at their other ongoing flash sales and they seemed to be working like Amazons ....

It's okay when the discount is not massive they may have stock then but all the time with high value item with high discounts. in my experience with China store like this and gearbest it's the same. There is a massive discount and as soon as it goes live it's sold out even before you can add it in your basket.

I have never ever seen a post from anyone who has managed to get one of these flash deals - i suspect nobody gets them , they are just a way of getting free advertising ( it would not be allowed in the UK , but this is a Chinese site )

still worth a try, imo. if you don't get it, you don't get it. but doesn't hurt trying

I've won a phone on a competition before with to2c. Got an Umi Emax for 67.99 which is still going strong years on and the best thing was I won it just by entering my name and email as they'd failed to set up the first draw on this annoying countdown format. I was just on the site, saw mention of the competition, enter my details and was told I'd won.
Tried a few with the countdown and not won anything. They rig the clocks somehow as I've got different people to try bidding and we've all had completely different clocktimes. You can rig the countdown's or used to be able to, by refreshing the page before hand and it removes seconds of the countdown. Don't refresh when there's a minute to go because you'll have lost by that point, start before.
Says limit 10 on the page.

Have to agree with the consensus on flash sales. Don't waste your time.

Is there a way of knowing how long until the flash sale starts?
Xtrykyr to ScubaDudes
31 Jul 17#20
There's a timer if you go to the link. 1 hour and 6 minutes left. counting down.

Its a shame. Would have loved to have it whilst waiting for the note 8. Looks like I'm stuck with my galaxy s4 for now. :disappointed:

Likewise, clicked second available and none left, so lesson learnt, last time to buy anything from Banggood ever !

That statement would make sense if you actually managed to buy it :P

It all looks good on paper but how reliable will it be?? I seen many no brands with battery, overheating, crashing issues.

Note 8 will be worth it

Personally (from experience) i find the unkown/lesser known brands are typically pretty crap/unreliable and i usually end up going to a HTC/Samsung/iPhone.
Would be good enough for a kid or something though, saves them playing with your £500+ phone if you do that kind of thing.

Consider yourself lucky. If I gave my 10 year old daughter anything less than a Samsung or an Iphone I would get it thrown back at me

Reading about this is being touted according to some Chinese sites as an S8 clone which made me smile.

Any tips on how to get one? Did you not refresh at all ? Was it made available before the time?
Femstar to farhan786

I didn't refresh, clicked the button right at zero, the button greyed out and about 10 seconds later I was being asked to login on PayPal, checked out and that was it :-)

I have told them that discounts is a con. 12 times I have captured screen and looks like "someone" lucky to buy most of discounted stock like 20 secs before bid time actually reached !
