Default Does this have any truth at all?

I was browsing and found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/Losi-Compatible-...-/220630782583
Ive never heard these where compatable before. I can now tell you that Im convinced the PPP servo's from this guy are basicly a $10 Tower Pro HT servo rebadged with a $40 price tag. I mean...A radio thats under $20 for $70! These are only $15 on HK and $19.70 on Hobbypartz! This is as bad as the thread I read about a guy selling a pair of Turnigy 25c 5000mAh 2s lipos for almost $200 on Ebay. I know its a free market to sell for what ever price you want, but this is a bit of a steep price hike here. I could see selling them for $35 or maybe $40. But $70 for a $20 radio! $40 for a $10 servo...Man this guy. He sells those servos like there something special. lol..Im now very glad I never bought one becouse I thought about it many times

PPP servos are rebadged MG995's arent they? .15 transit times with 200oz of torque for 35-40 shipped isnt bad, Ive seen worse. You can normally find em for around $25-30 shipped, so PPP's 10 buck markup on a rebadge could be alot worse, LOL!

Mind you these are China based shops.
