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?

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

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.

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 :idea: .

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

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

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.

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 ;)

Here's the menu:

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

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!

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

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! ;)

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 :D .

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

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 :(

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

Posted: 28 Jun 2013, 23:17

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.

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 ...
