A box from an Alibaba merchant
0:02
Let's open it up and check it out. Dave Taylor here, and a week or two ago, I ordered a couple of watches from Alibaba.com
0:18
Now, you might not have heard of Alibaba.com, but it's a really big e-commerce site
0:23
mostly focused on business-to-business, so a lot of merchants there want to send you 10, 50
0:29
500 units but sometimes you can find a merchant that will ship one two three even five
0:36
units and then you get a chance to actually have some fun now I've covered alibaba.com
0:42
before on my channel here so you can definitely check out those other videos it's pretty
0:46
interesting but what we have today is an unboxing so I ordered about 10 days ago
0:54
to Benyar 51 51 chronograph men's watches And that's what's in this box
1:01
At least I'm pretty sure that's what's in this box. Now, just as a reminder, they were $18.50 each for a total of $37 with free shipping
1:12
So I figured, well, that's great. But free shipping from a factory in China, it's going to take probably a month, right? Nope
1:20
10 days later, it showed up on my doorstep. Possibly a record
1:25
But be that as it may I just want to open this up and see what inside So I have my unboxing tool Be careful with these sort of tools young people And I going to carefully cut it open
1:37
and hopefully do this without injuring myself. And then we'll get to see what's in the box
1:46
So here we go. Let me close my knife just so we don't want any blood on camera
1:52
We'll do that with special effects. So reasonably well packed. And it is indeed two units from Benyar
2:02
So that is promising. So we'll put this aside. And we have, as you can see, two nice gift boxes
2:11
Actually, I want to share why this is trying to escape, but we'll do that
2:17
Now, that's done. So let's open one of these up. So it's a very nice gift box and I open it up
2:24
and underneath this is a lint-free dust cloth and instructions and a guarantee card
2:31
Ah, and a watch. So, it's all very nicely packed. And here's one of the two watches
2:41
These are big men's chronographs. So if I put this one on my wrist
2:46
I will have to actually adjust the time, but for now I'll just put this one on my wrist
2:52
just so I can see what it looks like. And it's a
2:56
It feels like a leather strap It a very nice strap It actually a really nice looking watch Then let open the other one I ordered two of two different colors and I needed to get a present for my son 21st birthday so my plan is to let him choose a color
3:13
and then I'll keep the other one. So this one you can see has the blue edge around it
3:19
whereas this one has the copper or gold edge around it. So two very different styles
3:26
although I guess two very different colors, but very much the same style
3:30
and the second hand is ticking away, so it's working. Now, let me go ahead and switch, and you can get a close-up
3:38
so you can see what this particular watch looks like. I have to say, there's nothing to complain about
3:44
I'm a bit of a watch collector, so I have a good sense of what you want on a watch
3:49
and this has some interesting complications, and there's lots to like here
3:54
This is a really nice design with a really nice feel to it
3:58
So I think my son's going to really like this. And I'm going to actually go ahead and put him back in the boxes so he can choose which one
4:07
and not realize I've already worn one and checked out the other one
4:12
I'm sure he'll be okay with that. But suffice to say, nice job, olibaba.com and Benyar because these are watches that I think
4:21
if I would have seen for probably $99 at a watch store, I would have thought, okay, these are pretty
4:27
nice They have a good feel to them I think there a lot to like here But instead for this watch nothing to complain about Pretty darn good deal Now if I ordered it a larger quantity the per unit cost would go down even further So if I had a big team of people or if I had
4:46
like a men's basketball team and I wanted to give everyone a present. And yeah, I mean
4:51
obviously anyone could wear this. It's just a big watch, which makes it more typically on a man's
4:57
wrist than a woman's wrist because men have bigger wrists, generally speaking. But if I wanted to
5:03
or 20 or 30 of these, that's actually entirely doable and easy to do and in fact, much more
5:10
central to the whole concept of olibaba.com. So what this is telling you is that there's a business
5:17
opportunity here. If you're an entrepreneur, you could be picking up these watches and buying them
5:23
at quantity of 10, 20, 50, and then reselling them for two, three, even four times your purchase
5:30
price. That's pretty sweet. That could be a nice way to make some money. In fact, I'm going to do a video talking about those sort of
5:38
entrepreneurial opportunities. But for now, I need to get these package back up, so I'm ready
5:43
to have this for my son, which means I'll hope to catch you in my next video
