I want one to play with
I want one to play with
I contacted a "Taobao Agent", someone who apparently lives in China, speaks English, and for a fee purchases things on Taobao and ships them to you. I emailed them just now asking for an estimate of total cost to get one into the States. I'll post followups as I go along.
From the group I contacted (I will provide info if I receive the item in a timely manner and hassle free) the following prices were quoted
(All via Paypal, it's nearly double to pay via western union which I'd never do in the first place. Also please note these are all uninsured)
DHL : $ 23.41 (What I'm using)
XIN : $ 39.45
EMS : $ 29.14
Airmail: $19.07
SAL : $18.66
So I'm gonna go ahead and see if this all works out. Told em I want to do DHL and waiting for the paypal invoice. So far so good.
The actual item cost ~7.20 in USD using their exchange rate, the shipping is the biggest thing, their commission was $3.80
*EDIT -- costs listed are not just shipping but item + commission + shipping.

Price for shipping is too big . Have you tried to contact the seller directly ?
awesome
want one of these but im in UK
will enquire soon
Thanks for posting my video, I literally got close to a thousand views over night! :thumbup:
Ya, I seriously can't wait for these, I live in Texas, so I hope the price is cheaper for shipping than that, $7 US for just the adapter is CHEAP! Does anybody know if it comes with a SD card or not?
battyone, good info about taobao. i will be looking for your follow-up and more info. thanks!
Has anyone tried contacting Play-Asia to carry these? I want one.
