Supposedly this thing actually does pretty well, and for $16 how can you go wrong.

I'll be ordering one tonight.

$15.62 is the pick up from warehouse price (Lakewood, WA).

With shipping (UPS Small Parcel is the only shown option) price is $28.26.

Still cheap, about half the price of an Aoyue 937+ ($58.99 on Amazon).

Will do, although I won't have much to compare it to.

If you take a look at the page, some one posted a video of a side by side with this and the real Hakko model, I believe they even disassembled it to compare core components.

I think if you leave the web page open and idle in your web browser for a while, you get a pop up where they offer you a one time chance to get it at that price shipped.

I was on my phone and just left it open in a tab and upon returning at least 15 minutes later, I saw the pop up. Can't recall what the details were though.

Interesting gizmo for $30. If I didn't have a good solid iron as of now, I'd likely pick one of these up.

I left it open and they offered me ~$1 off lol

Ya I'm sorry I originally thought it was listed at the shipped price of $28 and they were offering it for $15 if you waited haha.

Still pretty cool to get $1 off for nothing lol
