Anyone buy from taobao to the US before?  The cost of this item says "55" what does that mean in USD? Man I'm such a newbie to taobao.. :(

I think either dijimatic or nowsharing does.  Whoever it is uses a broker (that I can't remember) to quote the price and do the actual buying.

I want one of those wNv G80-1863HUMUSs.  They're a little too rich for my blood right now, though.  I just need to stay away...  The all-black ones are much cheaper, though, I might have to get one of those.  Hmmm...

And yes, currency is RMB, simply enter "# RMB in USD" into google!

YoBuy?

Do people in Latin countries tell Yo Madre jokes?

Oh, it's Yoybuy.  

Never mind.

YoYoBuy?  Does that mean it automatically ships itself back to the seller?

Alright, for the lazy american (me) can someone find me a tenkeyless colored case for filcos on taobao?

Itlnstln:
I was looking at that pic and I was like, that carpet looks familiar... oh wait it is my carpet after all :)

Dude the lady at the post office was killing me when i was trying to mail your package out and ricercar's package out... I put the TO: and the FROM: in the wrong order and she made me cut off the shipping labels and re-tape them.. Then she says it would be like $35 bucks to ship your package via priority..

The good news is that I was able to see that they use white MX-11900's at the post office :P

Using Google Chrome browser with the embedded Page Translator set to "Always translate Chinese (Simplified Han) into English", it becomes very easy to surf these Oriental sites. What's surprising, unlike many other stand-alone/self-contained translators, this actually works.
Even "Translate with Google" did not work when using Fiefox, maybe some security conflicting issues when using Add-Ons from different Software vendors.

Google Chrome likes to see-through the Chinese.
