I'm after a white 3x3 but I'm not sure which to go for.
Note, I HATE lockups.

Dian Sheng or YJ 3x3?

1QAT...
Both of those choices are not very good and lock up alot. Out of those 2.. YJ. But overall, there are alot better white cubes out there.

Yea as Cuberkid10 said both cubes aren't that great... You're better off getting a GuHong or LingYun (If possible still... :\) but in my opinion if you had to choose between those two cubes, Choose the YJ 3x3 it doesn't lock up as much compared to the Dian sheng

Thanks guys, guess I'll go for the YJ then. As I've been looking through the 3x3 white cubes on ebay with the listings starting from the lowest price + p&p, and so far I've only seen YJ's, Dian Sheng's, and unknown cubes, until the prices of them are now getting into the £10 range. It does seem a bit expensive to be payng £10 or more for a 3x3, so I think I'll just buy the cheapest YJ.

Or you can try this cube its smaller than the average cube and better than the two up there, but is noisy...
but a good cube overall

Are you just limited to ebay? I suggest going to another online store for puzzles.

My YJ is locky as hell. I would say Diansheng, but I haven't tried the DS.

Put some silicone in it and then loosen the tension to your liking.

Tighten/Loosen depends what you like...I had to loosen mine to make it work better

Ahhh, I'm too impatient, I don't have any cubes at the moment because sadly I ruined my last and only one by trying to make it better.

Anyway, I forgot to add it's not like I'm a speed cuber or anything. I'm still a beginner and only know the begginers method of solving, so hopefully the cube and the other two cubes I got should be good enough for me.
Get something cheap then.

Got the YJ (Speed Edition VVGOO-III) a few days ago and I've got to say it feels unbelievable, like butter. I'm not a speed cuber so maybe that's why I'm not finding it to lock up too much. I can't even imagine what the GuHong and LingYun must feel like to use if they're way better.

Looks a lot more like a LanLan to me...

It is. They made a mistake by calling it a Sheng Shou in the description. Doesn't matter as I think the LanLan is awsome. Not sure if a Sheng Shou would've been better or not though.

I have a mini ds it locks up a little. I hate the painted tiles the orange and yellow and red look way to similar. i find that it is just as good as tight as it is losse and i like losse cubes. but it pops more losse.
