Is that the red crystal carbon hrt, iskandar?
If it is, it'd be cool if you can do a small review
I think it's an awesome looking blade.

Yup, the red one. I posted a weight under the Blade Weight topic. It sure does look garish! Don't know what the deal is with the silver glitter, though.

Other than the carbon/balsa/birch blades I made myself it'll be my first carbon blade, it'll be interesting to see how it plays. Wonder if I should seal the blade or not.

Link of the shop please?

I noticed in passing that in the UK (even cheaper in the US) you can get a DHS premade with H3 and TinArc for about £30:

Not bad if it floats your boat.

Under $30 US at Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1D4CA/

New-new Shop (an Eacheng) is running $10 off coupons on $50 orders, also $5 off $25 and $2 off $10. AND you're allowed three each!

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/sale-items/934882.html

As usual - do a search (on ebay as well!) before you buy...

Two of the Eachengs have $8 coupons. New-new shop's is $8 off a $35 order. Tianjin Guanghe's - haven't figured out the limit yet, doesn't kick in on $35.

OK, confirmed - Tianjin Guanghe's coupon is $8 off $38.

This, I suspect, is an Eacheng:

I've not bought anything from them as yet because their prices are way high, but for the next day they're having a 50% off sale, so some of the prices are actually lower than the other Eachengs. Not much, you'll have maybe a dollar on a $10-15 sheet. I think I'll order something just to see if it really is an Eacheng.

1.76$ per one Yinhe ball. Rather overpriced.
You can find Yinhe plastic 0.9$ a ball from a Taobao seller.

Now the sale is over it's $3.47 a ball...

The difference between TaoBao and AliExpress is you usually have to pay extra for shipping with TaoBao. And you have to read and type Chinese!

By the way, there's some huge AliExpress-wide sale coming up on the 11th of November (what used to be called Armistice Day). Apparently there will be an Eacheng-wide 15% discount (other than on Ali Discount Store where it'll be 51% off), not sure if there will be any other further discounts. If you're interested in OTHER stuff (cell phones, tablets, clothes, baby pacifiers, etc.) you can already preview some items.

Sports Authority is selling Joola Triumph 18 tables for $225 total including shipping in the US, also on their ebay store. Check it out. Seems to good to be true, I bought one

ROFL. The AliExpress Armistice Day Sale (11.11) actually got mentioned on CNN just now. There are some real bargains to be had if you're looking for a cell phone or tablet or even memory cards and USB drives (64 GByte ones for about $9). Table tennis wise, I found a few. New-new Shop (Eacheng #3) is selling a very few items at 50% off. I'm going to try the Donic Taichi for $6.. No idea WHAT it is, probably made in China like Yasaka ZAP, but at that price.. well, it's worth a shot.. They claim it's got Japanese sponge. Even cheaper if you buy 4.

Here's the absolute cheapest I've seen blades sell for:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shi ... 99906.html

Two blades for $7.49. Make a couple of loaner bats out of them, or give them away to recovering basement players. I actually have a pair of these, haven't unwrapped them yet so no idea how they play. They do have the thick core/thin side plies unlike cheap supermarket bats. Should be halfway decent. Can't resist, I'll grab another couple. This shop sort of smells like a Eacheng, but not certain.

If you want these, jump on them quick, there's something like 17 hours left on the sale as I type.

The 729 fx is also 50% off. Excellent beginner rubber.

Beginner rubber: Kokutaku 868, $3.73 a sheet.
