What is the best place to buy Gold-plated Korean springs from in 2018?
« on: Wed, 29 August 2018, 15:04:48 »
Hi guys and girls,

I would like to build some Ergo Clears, and have read that the Korean springs are the best. What is a good source for them?

Those I know of are:

Any others?

There's other Koreans like 힝힝홍힝 (Hing-hing-hong-hing) who do spring GBs, but the problem is that those GBs were Korea-only  :'(

Due to postage costs perhaps? Or increased logistics workload.

fun fact: HHHH also designed the Salamander TKL.

Other than Korea only GB springs, the only options are Sprit, Chinese made ones found on Aliexpress, and GON.

Yea the reupatation seems to have stuck with him, but it seems that was a long time ago and is no longer an ongoing issue.  I hear that they are the best springs.

he sells his stuff on ebay to.

If you are going to buy Sprit springs, at least be smart enough to NOT buy them directly from him. There are many Legit vendors that have his spring in stock. Why take the unnecessary risk dealing with a known thief and scammer?

just go to the last page of his group buys and see for yourself.

Is that you Sprit??? You sure do seem to do a lot of sticking up for Sprit?

No longer an issue? He has been MIA and left people missing hundreds of dollars and nothing to show for it for YEARS!! Just because people gave up on trying to get a hold of him, doesn't mean he is all of a sudden a legit seller.

He hasn't posted since January, but his last sign in was yesterday. He knows damn well he still owes a bunch of people products and or refunds. He is just doing what scammers do.

He never did me wrong, but then again I ordered only when he would pop in and become suddenly active, and only springs and stabs.

They are my favorite springs (typing on them now!). His work > his reputation, but reputation goes a long way. I too would suggest getting them only from vendors who have them in stock, as there's no guarantee you'd get them by ordering from him.

No, I just haven’t had issues and haven’t known anyone with issues. You do you, man.

Had no idea there'd ever been an issue. Bought springs directly from him just within the last couple of months. Shipped quickly and even threw in some samples of other weights and added a couple of heavy ones in case I wanted for space bar. Was a pleasant exchange.

I've bought springs from his ebay listings about 3 times now. Fast shipping a prompt communication. Always sends me an email to verify that the mailing address is correct and throws in a few extras springs of my choice to test out.
