Need confirmation on prices of Long 5

[MaggiGoreng11]

I plan on buying the Hurricane Long 5 Golden from Taobao, a Chinese E-commerce platform. There's a seller who is selling the blade for 890 Yuan (~around RM 540 or 124 USD). I asked them and they said the products were genuine, reviews confirmed this. But I'm still skeptical, as other sellers sell it at around 970 Yuan (~around RM 590 or 135 USD). The Hurricane rubbers are also priced a little too low too. The Blue provincial version being around 115 RM or 25 USD. The normal pricing is about 50 RM more or 12.5 Dollars more (mental calculation, I divided by 4 for USD, so not very accurate).

Any thoughts on this? Can anyone give the general pricing of these in China? On one hand, I don't want to be scammed. But on the other hand, I'm running on a tight budget, and every dollar saved is a dollar saved.

The Ying Lian store is the more expensive one, I'm skeptical of the other store.

Just to let you know if your buying from Taobao best to set the language to Chinese on the app as with English there is limited selection of products compared to Chinese version.

Gan Table Tennis Store Taobao

Some people on here have mentioned that Gan Table Tennis Store on Taobao is genuine and you can trust the seller. Another option is buy from Prott.

You can use Cainiao app to save a bit of money from shipping where in the Taobao app you enter the Cainiao consolidation company address they ship the goods to Cainiao then you just pay the shipping fee which usually ends up being cheaper than direct shipping. Can also buy goods from other taobao sellers and can just merge the shipments together by choosing unpack courier packaging which will remove courier packaging but keep the product packaging.

If your shipping liquids from Taobao theres a possibility that it cannot be delivered so you may need to use a third party agent e.g. Sugargoo but theres also a limit to how much liquids can be sent so best to ask first before ordering liquids.

Do what you want, but personally I pick the one that sells for the least that's within reasons
