bobby12 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Has anyone seen this TaoBao website? http://www.taobao.com It is basically Chinese eBay. Theres tons of brand stuff on there for dirt cheap. Brand new Banana Republic trenchcoats for 1300 yen etc. Anyone had any experience buying from this or similar site? Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Wow they have some cute stuff pity I can't understand the webpage at all!! I have bought HEAPS from China online. I have been totally warned off ioffer though. It is very dodgy and you don't what you payed for. I always pay with paypal so I have a little peace of mind. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I think most stuff we buy comes from China anyway, just taking a long trip Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 There are a couple of sites on Yahoo Auctions selling very very cheap tools from China. I saw a fifty odd cc (big!) chain saw for 6500 yen delivered. Maybe you can get feedback from them. You might have probs getting fake brand goods through customs. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm thinking to give it a go and see what happens. Worst thing that happens is I get ripped for 3000 yen or customs add on a markup. But if I can me find a good sellah den I is totally gonna be busting out da bling man! Is gonna be wicked! Link to post Share on other sites
