Q: Tricks and keywords for finding good bargains on taobao?
I've started using taobao and realised that there's quite a bit of tact and skill involved in finding the really good stuff. So far, I've figured out that 出口/外贸/原单 are all good words to use for finding western-style clothes. Anyone know of any other good tricks or keywords for getting right to the good stuff?

First of all, if you're shopping for clothes, it's better you know what you're looking for specifically. A good trick is to go to the malls, find brand names of clothes you like and go and search them up on taobao. This way you'll get exactly what you want plus the right size.
Secondly, always look for things that many people have commented on and bought recently. You can arrange thesearch results by number of monthly sales per shop i.e 销量 to see the most bought item of that kind. It's a good indicator of a good all-round bargain.
Also you can look at these numbers 最近成交82笔(units sold), 28条评论(comments). The higher the numbers the better.
A subsidiary or partner site of taobao is tmall. The stuff on it is usually good quality though slightly more expensive.
