WTB: APS-03 bonus diecast mini boombox (Frenzy)

[millhouse]

Hi guys,

Currently chasing this little sucker down.

https://www.rakuten.com/shop/toynk/product/TAK-TRNCYBT-C/

Anyone with a lead, suggestion or offer to sell? eBay has come up with nothing.

There's a few listings on taobao, searching "aps-03" brings them up.

I've never bought directly from the site myself though, just used taobaotrends as a forwarder once.

Thanks for the hint - unfortunately I've never ordered from TaoBao before.

Any suggestions for an English speaker?

I used these guys
http://www.taobaotrends.com

They’re a shopping service rather than a forwarder, which means you fill out their web form with what you want to buy, they get back to you with the price, you paypal them the money, then they buy the items. It’s a bit slow, but they’re reliable, I’d probably use them again.

If you want to try ordering directly yourself and use Taobao’s forwarding service there’s a rough guide here (http://fallenangelsarelazy.tumblr.com/post/94987390948/taobao-direct-guide), written by someone based in Australia for once. Probably best to use chrome’s auto translate to navigate Taobao if you do this.

I got most of my info from /cgl/‘s Taobao faq (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E0PUag4NzqCCFZ7s2AE_QefWhni2NwvC9sxrRpKeYXk/pub) and shopping service guide (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12pep0XQGK1Z-yuiovGBdt9LkupkWfa95JCklX50hx5I/htmlview)

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your help - I've just placed an order and will see how it goes!
