I’m not going to buy a knock off good from Aliexpress for a product that I have used everyday for the past two years across over two dozen cities.

The Nexstand is the most popular alternative, it's around 30 dollars.

Honestly, I don't know, I bought it a decade ago when it launched.

It was a fair bit cheaper, I want to say more like $60, I suppose "inflation" is the reason.

EDIT: 2016 I bought my roost stand, it's still good as new.
