Is it me or this is a crazy price for a pair. 5R usually go for more than this just for 1 and if I recall correctly many people recommended 5r mini before and unless this is a fake by 3rd party seller this seems like a real slick deal to get started with these radios. USBC alone is a step over 5R.

Wow by the time I posted the comment and went back to complete order, it was out of stock, then tried to reorder, let me place order but new delivery schedule is "Arriving July 14 - July 16" .

Still, a great deal, thanks OP.

Honestly at this price I'd just get these and see if there is truly any interest or not before spending way too much for something you won't need or use.
