I bought some stuff off Taobao and ordered a couple to sell on ebay to offset my ridiculous shipping charges.

Shipping is the worst. Each GBHD weighs 2 pounds. That's why I sold my first three. I'm trying to talk my buyer into sending surface which takes a few weeks by boat, but it's much cheaper.
greenfirefly - there's no secret, just go to taobao and search. It's a pain cause I have to translate each page from Chinese. All my buyer does is facilitate the transaction, everything else I do myself as far searching them out. Prices varied. I found them for between $10 and $18 before shipping. Shipping nearly doubles the cost though, but I'm getting a bunch of loose 3 3/4" figures too shipped with it and they're virtually free to ship with all the weight of the GBHD's. |

Okay, I found GBHD's at Taobao.com for about $12-$16 a piece. I couldn't figure out how much shipping would be though. I had a seller from Hong Kong tell me it would be $25 for the shipping a few weeks back. I can see why you have a buyer, Roshan.

Also taobao doesnt quite work like ebay. once it's sold it doesn't disappear from the taobao. Most of those GBHD's you see on taobao now are all sold. The supplier's shutting the door on sales for a while thinking of raising the price. Unfortunately for him the market is already saturated.

If you search for "taobao" on Google, there will be an option next to the site in the results titled "translate this page". I have Google's toolbar which has a button that let's me translate any page.
