With my history with "Tankzone" I shall continue to give him a wide berth especially as he is no cheaper than --- http://www.heng-long-panzer.de
The German controllers are 16 Euros and the TK22s are 110 Euros and they are selling a "FLY SKY" FS 2.4 GHz T6 transmitter and receiver with TWO self centring joysticks as well as TANK Software for 90 Euros.
So given that I can trust the German dealer I shall stay with them.

No complaints about Tankzone from me, always next day delivery, pretty certain the postage was free, and the one time I had a problem they fell over themselves getting it sorted as fast as was humanly possible.

No, I've just checked, and it is for the board. However, it states there's 'only one left'. In the drop down menu, if you click 'Model' under 'New', more realistic prices come up for existing models, when you select one- ranging from £79.99 to £99.00.. So, the bargain offer is just a lure...
Mind you, if this guy is more dependable than Tankzone (that's not difficult).. and he does have 100% rating on Ebay currently, then he might be worth buying from
The seller IS tankzone. You can't click buy now without selecting a model ( which puts up the price).
..and hence the 'lure' I mentioned, Tom- the lost (but actually non-existent) leader. It's no surprise to me though that 'Tankzone' and 'Wargamer' are one and the same, since 'Tankzone' claims to be the only official UK dealer.

I think there are reasons why dealers set up multiple accounts under different names on Ebay, and quite a few do it. The Chinese have hundreds of accounts, and yet most of the goods come from the same warehouse. Someone looking for a product will click on different ads. If the dealer only has one account then there is a possibility that the buyer will buy from whichever random item that they clicked on. If the dealer has three accounts then there is a higher chance that even though the buyer is clicking on different ads, they will still buy from that seller. If the top five on the page contain three ads from one seller then the chances of getting the sale increase dramatically.
The other reason is tax, by spreading the business between three business names, the profits on each one are reduced.
The use of drop down menu's with a low price headline are quite common, I find it all the time with 3D printer stuff, an item is advertised but is greyed out in the menu, the available items are way more expensive than the headline. It's clickbait, and I guess it works or they wouldn't do it?
