Default R/C vendor with strange pricing

In my Facebook feed, an ad popped up for rcdrift.co.uk (I'm not posting an actual link because my intention isn't to promote them). The pricing on their R/C's is strange because some are higher than usual but some are much lower, like a Yeti kit for $154 USD plus ~$30 shipping to US. They are in a different country so obviously there is the currency exchange variable, but that doesn't really explain it and I'm wondering if it's a scam of some sort. Has anyone bought from them?

Looks kinda fishy. If it's legit they'll be out of yetis and bombers in about 3 hours.

edit: UK forum people consider it a scam. Paypal doesnt work, domain name owner is withheld, it's registered somewhere on a farm in the middle of nowhere, etc.

In London, people will steal your superbikes right in front of your eyes as you are yelling at them. They are also in for banning knives due to the number of knife attacks taking place.

...so watch out for a knife wielding thief jumping out of the box if you order from this site!

Dunno how it is down in Florida, but that guy with a knife in a box might be bringing his stuff to a gunfight

Based on friends in Florida, I'd say they're second only to Texas for the state with the most/coolest guns.

Also, if something seems too good to be true, it generally is.

^Now that's fawked up. I'd keep a jar of flammable liquid and a emergency flair nearby, and have at those jackasses if I couldn't possess a firearm.
