Mini Taobao GB [closed]

[mbodrov]

fuck. the seller keep being offline.

Did you manage to contact him at least once? If you did, what was your impression of him? A normal seller or a weird person?

[tinnie]

I had contacted the shop for few times and the boss wasn't there. I talked to a guy who don't know anything.

[Muirium]

Who knows, maybe a legitimate crisis is keeping the seller out of reach. Shit happens in real life. Tinlong's bought from him before so the guy's not a complete crank. I think we should just give it some time. We can afford to wait.

I think we should just give it some time. We can afford to wait.

Why not, it's not like there is a deliberate deadline on this order. We can wait another two or three weeks, maybe longer.

Perhaps it will give him more time to gather all the items we are ordering .

[douchecanoe]

I don't want to keep waiting too long though, would rather just confirm a buy from maybe another seller rather than waiting on something that might not happen

I'm fine to wait a week, or maybe two, but we probably shouldn't drag this on too long

[matt3o]

I agree, I might find the keyboard elsewhere. I wouldn't drag this forever

[Halvar]

I agree. Actually, I'll be out of this if we don't get word on availability by next Thursday. I have a hard time trusting a seller at the other end of the world who doesn't bother to answer simple pre-sales availability questions for weeks.

[maxmalkav]

I'm with Halvar, if by the next Thursday we don't have news, it may sensible to give up about this small sale. I'll say no to my imaginary SSK

i searching mx grey(tacticle) in taobao Can help me

[Muirium]

Here's the menu:

No other sellers allowed. Chinese colour mistranslation rules are in effect. Green = blue. White = clear, etc. And don't expect any answers from the seller. Oh how we've tried. Knock yourself out!

[Muirium]

Those are both from other sellers. No can do.

i found SSK in stevexaio you want?

[douchecanoe]

If you read the previous posts in this topic there's 10 people in line for the SSKs, which probably don't even exist

[ماء]

Oh,sorry

[maxmalkav]

So we wait until tomorrow. If we don't have any news from our favourite seller, I think we can free tinlong from all this annoying GB. One way or another, tinlong rocks!

[matt3o]

agreed

So true that poor guy gets harassed by us lot to buy things all the time, yet he just can't say no to any of us. I hope he can relax soon and sit back with a tequila and watch some inane re-runs of Welcome Back, Kotter .

[Muirium]

It was a sweet hypothetical SSK while it lasted. And that industrial was pretty slick too. Aw damnit!

[tinnie]

Got a reply. THE BOSS WILL BE BACK TOMORROW!

[Muirium]

Of course he will. Of course…

What's the group buy version of Stockholm Syndrome? I think I've got it.

[zenka]

and once the boss back and sees the list, he will be...

scr*w this, I'll be on my holiday again, see you guys in a month


lol

[Luke]

I hope he updates his stock with some cheap bare boards so I can harvest some switches, I really need anything except for blues and browns :/

[tinnie]

Unfortunately, I have no reply today.

[Muirium]

Gahhhh!

[maxmalkav]

Guys, let's face it, maybe we should desist. Spending such amount of money with someone that's going to provide so few information is .. stressing at best

[maxmalkav]

Sorry for the double post, I just wanted to say than I'm OUT. We should officially close this, don't you think folks?

[matt3o]

I hereby declare the GB failed and closed. I would like to thank tinlong for his efforts. This time it didn't work, sorry about that but we can't deal with a vendor who doesn't reply to our inquiries.

There were SSKs! Precious, precious SSKs, laddie. IBMs like ye never seen…

[Halvar]

Big thanks to tinlong and matt3o for trying to make this work for so long despite of all the absurdity going on in this thread ...
