Default Imax B6 on ebay, price seems too low???

Look at this listing on ebay and tell me what's wrong

120811690086

An Imax B6 with a power supply for 3$????

There should have something wrong but I can't find nothing, same description as the one who sells for 30$

Don't call me dumb, I just saw that it was a bidding listing... Have the selection set to bidding so I didn't see all the listing,

you can tell me what you think about this charger, I don't want to put too much money as I'm new and there is so much to buy but I hate spending money at the wrong place.

The B6AC seems good too and you dont have to carry an external power supply

there are imax B6 clones and real ones, the clones work the same minus a few features, look up the video on youtube.
hobbyking.com sells both the clone and the genuine one, the real one being about $8 more, I have 2 real ones and 1 fake one, and in my opinion the real one is worth the extra cash.

Keep an eye out for the shipping cost listed, there's a BUNCH of listings that seem cheap until you factor in the shipping. I haven't gotten bit by shipping costs, it's just something a actively pay attention to when browsing eBay.

So an item may be listed at $3 but say the shipping is $29.99, well $32.99 becomes what you're paying for it. Also, it's listed on another site for say $30 shipped, then you could've save a few dollars to spend on something else.

I spent almost 2 hours the other night trying to find the best deal I could on a set of ax10 CVAs, a RR 1-piece output gear, and hardened steel idler. I ended up saving almost $18 versus buying it all from other retailers.

for the research impared.

Imax B6 Charger - HobbyKing Product Review - YouTube

i'm very confident when I say that I think all the Imax chargers on eBay are knock off's. there is nothing wrong with them, they do work as they are supposed. (the main reason I like the real one is it has reverse polarity protection and the fake one does not, this means that if you soldered a battery conector on backwards, or plugged the charge bullets in wrong the charger wouldn't tell you, and it could end in failure)
