Is there an equivalent of Taobao in Hong Kong?

I'm trying to buy some Nintendo products which are sold there but not in the mainland (at least not by any authorized vendors that I know of), and their availability in Taobao is scarce at best.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

华金,

Hong Kong doesn't have a taobao equivalent unless if you count eBay in but it's not as good, which is why everyone is using taobao these days, but probably not for buying mobile phones or video game consoles since prices in Hong Kong are way lower and taobao sellers are getting their products from Hong Kong. I would go to price.com.hk to check out the prices and get in contact with a store probably in Shun Shui Po and go pick it up. It can be tricky if you don't read Chinese, though.

Thanks so much for your reply, Nicole. That's really helpful! Luckily I've been studying traditional characters alongside simplified ones for a while now, so hopefully that shouldn't be a big problem.

Thanks so much again! :)
