Vitaliy, Please keep us posted for what you found. Thanks. That web site just sounds like a "Web edition of Wal-mart" to local mum-papa stores. Those deals really look too good to be true. Another DX products I saw people discussing on SparkFun forum are Solder machines (ceramic heating element, temperature controlled stations and hot-air stations.), either a clone or over-manufactured Hakko models with only 1/3 to half of the Hakko price. SparkFun also carries some variation of those Hakko clones on its store. It seems the world is changing fast these days. Funny N.

No idea, but I just placed an order. There is absolutely no way they can be making money on this, so I'll try to figure out what the catch is. > Here in USA and Canada, a regular air shipping starts from US$6-7. > > I will feel so sad if someone tells me this is true.

I think it is actually quite reasonable, and it doesn't make any sense to subsidize the post office. If you ship a lot of packages, why should your neighbors bear the burden? > Is this a real deal? Good deal? Bad deal? Finger crossed. (those reviews > seem very positive.) We'll see, thanks for the link. It really seems too good to be true.
