"Hammer" 60% cases on Taobao - $110 USD
« on: Thu, 19 September 2013, 11:21:23 »
Anyone seen these yet from China? Seems pretty good for the price.

EDIT: Looks like there are actually two different types, the IMSTO style cases are $155 USD and the less stylised version is $110.

$110



$155

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

These were made available in a recent group buy.  Price doesn't look different considering shipping to the US and proxy fees will probably get added to the base cost.

I recently received my titanium hammer case and put my POKER II in it.  Lovely!  Absolutely lovely case.

Yeah the $20 difference is probably nothing once you factor in all the proxying, I'm interested to see how the $50 case GB compares to the cheaper option though.

To get it you're looking at 960 Yuan + Taobao agent fees (which usually run anywhere from 5-10%) + Paypal fees generally + international shipping .  So you're looking at somewhere around $172-185 or so just to get the case to the agent and an additional $30-40 in shipping, depending on shipping method and weight.  I forget what the GB price was shipped, but you're looking at ~$200-220 to buy the case off of Taobao.

Edit: Found the GB again.  It ends up basically being the same price.  You may or may not be able to get it a little cheaper, but it would be marginally so.  At least with  the person who ran the GB here, you know any issues should be made right, that's not always the case with Taobao proxies.  I would know.

I have just got another case from taobao. USD$178 shipped. I'm from Malaysia anyway, so international shipping is relatively cheap.

Any issues with the diamond cut cases? At $178 shipped, that's only $3 more than imsto's GB price WITHOUT shipping.
