Ordering Gold Plated 67g spring from China ?

[Tangtawan]

Hi,

Has anyone ordered gold plated 67g spring from China? I found one from the following link :
https://world.taobao.com/item/43471568632.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.2NxWoT#detail

I dont know about their unit of measurement, its available from 35g to 150g. And I'm looking for springs that are a bit heavier than from original MX Brown for my Ergo Clears project; so basically im looking for 67g spring (measured during bottoms out not actuation). The problem is I dont know if their 67g will be measured from bottoms out like those korean springs or during actuation like original MX springs.

Anyone has experience with this ?

No experience with that seller, but I only buy new things off Taobao since used stuff has misleading pictures, and it will always come in horrible shape.

Springs should be ok, but I don't think many have used these to be able to give you a real answer

 I had been ordering lots of stuff from Taobao, I admit that second hand stuff are not matched with the picture. Especially Vintage keyboards, some of them doesnt even work. But for brand new stuff like Leopold and chinese brand gaming gear; I havent experienced any problem.

Another problem I found in Taobao is that the seller never updated online stock, sometimes i made a payment and the item is out of stock (while it says in stock before i purchase) and refund process could be real pain since I have to do it through proxy.

yep that out of stock thing happens all the time, has screwed me more than once.  Check aliexpress might be able to find a similar product

I found some one aliexpress as well, but it cost twice.

Jackpot ! Even though the website said thousands of items still available, but as I click ordered and finish the payment - It said out of stock. Enough Taobao for awhile.

I ordered some springs from the gh user sprit.
He made me wait a little bit for the delivery, but he has been very clear and trasparent about it. I'd order again from him.
