Title: [TaoBao] 37 KBC Rainbow POM keycaps
Post by: dante on Sun, 28 December 2014, 16:05:56

Very, very rare.  Unfortunately no news from the resident Taobao overlords if fullsets will ever return  :'(

They were not rare at all a year ago. Now 320Y (USD50?)

I believe they won't be rare again in a while. You just have to wait for whoever's making them to churn out a new batch.

I respectfully disagree.  It's been 2.5 - 3 years since full sets have been easily obtainable.  For the last couple years every TaoBao listing that showed up would either A) Sell out before imsto/qtan could get a response or B) Was accidentally listed as in stock.

Every person who was lucky enough to get a set will not part with them.

Wasn't that hard for me to find them when I was searching in maybe March of this year.  Just gotta ask around.

Decided against it though.

use a TaoBao proxy, Qtan and i think IMSTO can do it.
