$50 Hakko FX-888D

[petters]

I don't know how many of you are on the market for a new soldering station, but I have been for a while. I am aware that the Hakko FX-888 series is popular, and have been hoping for a cheap one for a while. Thought I'd let you guys know because there are only ~7 left at this point. Will definitely be checking the insides when I get it though, to make sure it is not a knockoff (shipping from Hong Kong). Happy Easter

I can't seem to be able to find the specific listing you are talking about...
Lowest price I find is ~90$ :/

Its gone now. I checked the link a while back and it was at $50 but the seller was new and had zero feedback. The listing says the item comes from Honk Kong but the seller was based in the US. Too good to be true.

Yeah I thought so too, figured worst comes to worst I can just submit a claim if it's not right.
