AliExpress selling via Ebay. Here's one:

This is XVT on AliExpress.

Can't find the Eacheng outlet any more - I think it was called "China-friend".

There does seem to be a US based seller now, prices aren't bad:

OK, been playing a tiny bit more and I have to ask. The rubbers don't feel very bouncy, it feels dead and I suppose that's what people call hard topsheet and sponge? Are there anything in the cheaper rubber realm that feel less dead and have a bit more lively/bouncy feel to them?

Palio AK47 range (Red, Blue Yellow) .. Red is the fastest, and Yellow - The slowest ..These are non-tacky, and like Euro/Jap style rubbers

If you like Chinese style rubbers, with bounce, and a bit of tack, then Sanwei T88-III, could be another option.

Those colors are supposed to represent different hardnesses, but in my experience their QC is pretty bad so the hardness and also thickness vary a lot... the color is not a reliable hardness indicator.
