I want to buy a HL445 1000mw. It's $115 including the shipping. Due to my country's tax laws it will be seized by customs.
1- Do laserbtb put the real price on the boxes or they write a lower price like $15 ?
2- Is their charger EU plug ?

Thanks for the reply.
I guess real price was much higher.
-edit-
I've found this photo of the charger

Yes, they devalue the package significantly in their write up, and they put LED flashlight. I still have the handwritten label on one of mine. From memory it was labelled around $20, real value was more like 10x that.

The charger is a two prong plug, possibly a US one, I just used a travel adapter to allow it to plug into a UK three pin plug.

Yea they mark it way down. My 175$ 532 was marked as like a 15$ flashlight.

I'm not sure why they do it, especially countries like the UK where our import laws don't really cover things like that. Plus all customs have to do is open the package and you're utterly shafted.
