Title: Chinese Ebay shopping, a taobao.com proxy.
Post by: Bigpiggy01 on February 19, 2012, 12:37:01 PM
Ok here goes:

I'm atm in Dalian in Norhtern China and have been here for quite some time (eight years now).

The service I'm offering is quite simple. I'll purchase and ship any item listed on http://taobao.com (http://taobao.com) and ship it to you. This service falls into two categories:

1) Smaller items such as pci-e extenders 2 system KVMs (these are btw dirt cheap from here) etc. You PM me the URL of the item you want on taobao and I'll quote you a btc price including shipping and shipping options.

2) Larger ticket items such as cases (INWIN dragonriders for around 120USD) cheap PSUs 1-7 pci-e splitters etc. PM me the url of the item you want I will quote you a btc price and prices for shipping options.
Upon acceptance of a quote I'll have it shipped to me personally and test it (nobody wants to deal with international returns, me least of all and this is China) I have test benches etc for checking that pc/server components are in working order. This I will charge a service fee for of 5-10 btc (could potentially be higher) depending on both the btc price, the number of items and the amount of work involved in testing them. I'll include this in the pricing quote. Then it will go out from here direct to you wherever you are.

NOTE for all items: Customs your end is 100% your responsibility. Payment is due upon me forwarding shipping documents or tracking numbers etc to you via email. Some otc ratings or similar verification required.

NOTE for category 2 items: This is the only way I'll deal with items worth more than say 50USD barring possibly cases. As this is China and there is junk around and I don't want to ship it.

MY otc ratings: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Bigpiggy01Mining (http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Bigpiggy01Mining)

I have successfully shipped product from here to Goat and Netxshare in both cases pci-e extenders.

I'd be interested to know if video cards are any cheaper over there? Eg 5830, 5850, 5870, 5890 etc

is there an english version of this site? I find it hard to navigate on this site... Well, have to try it with google translate later on...

Since the site is in Chinese, I think the better type of service you can provide, is for us to send you an itemised list, and you can procure it at an agreed price, any way you wish in China, as long as it meets the specs/description of what we are asking for.

Are there any really cool gadgets you've come across while there?

Also, can you ship fireworks to the US?

Like I said in the op I can get more or less anything from there and am willing to work on more or less anything.

If you guys have problems searching send me a detailed PM on it and I'll search for you and give you a few suggestion.

I am more than a bit swamped with this atm and it looks like I may have to do a proper site for this.

If you guys have an order or inquiry being processed that isn't getting seen to fairly quickly (24-48 hours) please PM me with a kick on it.

Do they sell fake / counterfeit GPUs with a good price?
Decent hashrate is important, they do not need to last a long time.

If you can order very large numbers of these, please contact me, I pay you very nice.

Nyaan,

Atm I can get you 6770s on the seriously cheap end around 70$ + shipping.

Also I can get you 5870s brand new custom assembled with really sweet Zahlman dual fan coolers on the starting from 200$ for a single shipped with heavy volume discounts available. A really well known and trusted member of the community is reviewing these atm and I'll post and update plus link to his review once done.

Just received my order from Bigpiggy01 and I just wanted to say that I am very happy with everything.
Bigpiggy01 helped with all my questions about the Chinese stuff I could not figure out on my own. He was extremely friendly and kept me updated on everything through the process.
Overall just a great experience and I will make sure to use his services again!

If you don't mind me asking: what did you order?

I ordered some very nice fishing equipment and some laser printer toner. Saved a lot of money compared to what that stuff costs here.

Your money will be gone once the plastic turns brittle and disintegrates when touched too hard.

@bigpiggy01 That price is not cheap, please give me cheaper price.

This is a great idea. I’m interested. Is there any chance you can set up a site with products you can/have sold. Also, can you get radio equipment? I would be interested in a fair price on some handheld or base station HAM radio gear.

It's fully made of aluminium so I doubt it will turn brittle, but I will keep you updated :)

Hmm Nyaan,

There is an awful lot of cheaper product available but as it's junk I'm not shipping it, unless the receiving end is 100% clear on it being them having the issue not me when it goes kerploof.

Those 5870s for example: I have shipped a pair of them to what I consider trusted forum members for testing, yes at my expense as I was wondering if they'd cooked up extra nice samples for me, and as a result they aren't being offered atm until the supplier answers an awfully long list of nasty questions I've sent them.

@ Tragicwish

Try PMing me some of the stuff you're looking for. Especially with brnad names and numbers and I'll see what I can find.

Lol
You are not supposed to ask those kinds of questions to counterfeit manufacturers. Bad things will happen.
