tinlong117 kindly gave his availability to proxy products from deal with the following not-english-speaking Taobao vendor:

http://shop57506618.taobao.com/?spm=0.0 ... eType=grid

Look at the whole stock, there are 19 pages full of stuff there.

If you are interested in any of those products we could set up a mini GB and save on shipping.

I don't know how much would be the end price, I hope tinlong will chime in once we have a better idea of what we are going to order.

Orders so far:

Please remind that SSK is always out of stock and the package will go to the EU directly. (Ship by the vendor.) Soo.... Please find a guy in the EU who has no problem with custom and have a low import tax rate.

SSK! Nooooooo! The one thing I want the most of all in this entire shop.

A Model F meanwhile…

Edit: Dibs on an SSK if he has them.

If they are indeed available: DIBS!

Also: perhaps these are the MX Blues I'm looking for:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=

Are these dark greys?

The SSK, according to Google Translate:
squatting spring axis mechanical keyboard temporarily out of stock
Awesome name! But I think tinlong's right about their unavailability.

Might be interested in this http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 4397493969 if I can gather the funds.

Any word on how much shipping will cost? Will everything ship directly to tinlong or matt3o and then be distributed?

they seem white actually even though google translate says "green axis"...

Green switches, white switches, even tough dark grey switches all sound good to me. So much stuff worth looking at here.

Anyone got a table of import taxes by European country? I strongly doubt Britain will be any good, in any case.

They have some Vortex products, but I could not find Alu cases. Do they have them?

Depending on the shipping cost, I call dibs on this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 2645976247

I've updated the OP with the order list so far. Please when you want to place your order state it clearly. Tinlong will ask for the final cost including shipping and you will be able to cancel your order at any time.

A proxy in DE would be ideal as shipping seems pretty inexpensive from there. Shipping from UK is a bit costly, customs tax in SE seems a bit high, so I'd avoid those if possible. Shipping a keyboard up to 2kg from IT is €22. Smaller packages up to 1kg are 17€ (€12 for 500gr). Bubble wrap €5-9 depending on weight, all prices are for registered mail. Please give your availability if you are willing to proxy this mini GB.

Like KennyR, I'm wary about shipping. But count me as provisional on these:

IBM Model F PC-AT keyboard
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7245387340

If any of the IBM Model M SSK's do in fact show up, I would very much like one!
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3642278402
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3541695980

And the Kinesis Maxim
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7312326334

Of all these, it's the SSK I want the most!

I'm also interested in the model F PC-AT board. Muirium comes first, of course.

Only just!

There's several Model Fs and Ms actually, but only one F PC-AT. I'd gladly surrender it if the SSKs show up though.

There were some GB cherry doubleshot caps with light mods, we looked at them a while back. If they are still available I'd love a set.

Could go for a kinesis board too :)

and that for someone that wanted one.

What do you guys think of these? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 4397493969

Can't tell whether the photo's bad or whether the pad printing on the lock keys is wearing off..

Pencil me in for the blue…
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?scm=100 ... id=&pm_id=

…and white / green mystery switches.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

For about a fiver for a keyboard's worth of each, I'm not complaining.

I'd say it's just a bad photo.

they are not definitely green :)

They are also definitely not brown or black, which is absolutely fine by me. Whites and clears are both nice switches. Even a bunch of ±dark greys I could find a use for. A finger exercise machine!?

Wonder what this seller will think when he receives a group buy for half of his entire shop?

Weren't you looking for this kind of keyboard matt3o?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 2140824937

I'm interested in this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=201 ... id=&pm_id=

And perhaps even this:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=0.0 ... 8067046162

Of course depending on how much it will all cost in the end.

I would've bought this one if the price wasn't so high. Damn nice caps!
