As stated on the kicksucker blog our perks are being sold on Aliexpress, all those boxes of components we have been shown pictures of,
and told they are on their way to us, are the parts that were bought with our funding.
There is an uncanny resemblance between the kit we funded and those now for sale on Aliexpress.

The same seller is charging €9.90 for Alberto's ABC Book, the same book Dimitri claims on Aliexpress is only available from Smartmaker.

I contacted the eBay shop about Alberto's book and this was their reply
"If we understand his request, it is assumed that the book is not sold by us is covered by copyright . We wish to clarify that the books that we sell have been purchased from us regularly and we have the full right to market them as best as we see fit.
Best regards"

Have had more emails from Rosa(Dimitri) denying any connection to Dimitri, saying she bought 800 books and it is not her problem about copyright, bla,bla
Refunded my €4 for Dimitri's LEDs as they could not deliver to their own address, lol

More replies
"we need to reiterate that this is not the e-mail address to write to if you want to communicate with Mr. . Dimitri .
Mr. . Dimitri , founder of our company and certainly the creator of the brands , for years no longer works here in Italy .
If you want to contact him write to him directly : dimitri.albino@gmail.com
We have work to do , no time to lose.

Notice that you are unable to leave comments on the you tube video, so you are unable to warn the poor souls that fall for his latest "sale"!

200 plus Kits sold in 1 month
Dimitri's eBay.it shop had feedback on 827 items sold in the last 12 months,
of which 413 in the last 1 month
So sales have rocketed from 1 or 2 a day for 11 months, to over 10 a day.
The vast majority of sales have been for cut price kits and uno's.
If at €34.99 including postage the kit seems expensive, they are accepting lower offers !
