Way too good to be true

[etpm]

I bought an amplifier through Ali Express several years ago. It was almost as advertised. It had a rectifier tube that was not the one listed. So I contacted the seller to see about them sending me the correct tube. The tube that came with the amp was actually better than the one listed but I wanted to see if Ali Express would live up to their guarantee. Anyway, the seller offered me fifty bucks instead of sending me to advertised tube. I agreed to it and fifty buck was credited to my card.
Now today I see this mini excavator advertised for 200 bucks and 587 bucks shipping. Link: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...list.product.mainProduct&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
This can't be legitimate but since it would be charged to a credit card I would get my money back. Yeah, I'm not gonna bite, but it does tempt me. And Ali Express does have a great reputation and my one limited test of their reliability was positive.

$200 is some "quick change" whatever it means, the excavator is $5,395 plus shipping

Quick change the color !

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

to get them to paint it in your choice of color

Oh, OK, makes sense, but the excavator is 5k+ and 200 for green and yellow to impress the neighbors
