  1. OLX India,

  2. Amazon

  3. Flipkart

  4. CEX (many branches all over world)

From cex will get smart devices with warranty with reasonable price 

I used to buy gadgets from CEX stores directly.


Chor bazaars (thief markets) : 


Thief Markets are not much secure areas and not even trust area , but for testing any devices is like better one , in this markets we may get the sometimes good products some times bad products 


So we don’t have to worry about bricking these devices since they are not expensive


Electronic bazaar (street side)


Special streets for electronics where we can get prototypes and cloned devices, over the world this type streets everywhere, also on roadside will get cheap china products or damaged once


all we purchasing for bricking purpose only.



Known people:
