The really low fares are unpublished fares and must be purchased in TPE. Rumor has it that some chinese travel agents in the US have affiliations with Taipei agencies and are able to issue these and Fedex them to you, but I haven't personal experience of it. The published fares (such as you would find on Expedia) are much higher.
