I think I have seen these for sale on Facebook for unrealistically low prices, I think on Amazon for 10 times the price. Also see posts for Blueprint crate motors on clearance for 90% off. A lot of scams. Hard to believe that Facebook can't use AI software to spot scams, but they don't seem to care. When I have seen a "too good" deal on Facebook market place, just click on the seller and you see the same thing for sale in 10 different cities.
