You will need to pay import tax + handling charge though. Don't know about the actual prices in Germany, but in UK this would cost you another ~$30 on top of the Aliexpress price.

You're right. That may ruin it for some. It differs a lot from country to country, I guess. Where I'm at the moment there is no import tax on <150 EUR items, and handling is 1 EUR.
