This is totally correct, Joe.

However, no self respecting Mainlander would dare miss out on a quick and easy sale! You will just pay a similar "retail" price as you would on AliExpress, with the possible exception in that you may actually deal directly with the manufacturer.

I have found that Alibaba is better for product specifics from an actual person, where on AliExpress you generally won't get any more info than what is in the advertisement.


EDIT:
Dan, I will be in China next week for a couple of weeks. If I can get to the market that I know sells these, I will try have a look at it for you. (Think of the biggest Westfield you can think of, but 5 floors high, and 7.5km long! One building with over 75000 stores.)
