I'm getting a headache trying to read their captcha and have tossed my hands up. I'm trying to buy a yoyo from taobao http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.7hftFV&id=39538491062&ns=1&abbucket=16#detail Even if I can create the account it's very intimidating trying to add a payment method but god I want this item so bad. I remember seeing a lot of keycap sets etc being available there so I was hoping one of you kind people could help? Or Maybe not even sign me up but point to a reputable person who would forward it for a nominal fee?

Why don't you use a proxy service like TaobabaoFocus ?

TY Sir I'll check them out. I wasnt sure if there was a terminology for someone who provided such service.

EDIT : Weird when I visit that website I get this : Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

EDIT EDIT : Just checked their facebook page and they went down about an hour ago for some server stuff. I'll check them tomorrow thanks again.

A tormentor wants to buy a yoyo from Taobao?

Somehow the juxtaposition of names is a bit too funny.

How do you torment anyone with a yoyo?
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

You could be so bad at it it's painful to watch. Or I could toss it at your face then nuts. Seriously though it's therapeutic to have a good hobby and skill toys give me something to vent with. Whether it's yoyo, kendama, poi or contact juggling it's nice to get into flow and forget about the bull****.

If it helps anyone else I have had good experience using bhiner.com, it was recommended to me by a fellow geekhacker.
