Baofeng UV-5R for $2.99 + Tax

The pesky Social Media Ad’s for the Baofeng UV-5R for $2.99 + Tax Total $3.24

I was searching for a battery for mine as it went flat after many many years of abuse.

Social media tracking algorithms actively targeted me with Baofeng ads. Every other post i scrolled past seemed to promote the offer of getting a Baofeng UV-5R for just $2.99.

Initially, I suspected it was clickbait or a scam. However, I took action, Using a old android burner phone that i use to install these shady apps on without risking to much of my my personal data. I downloaded the app, the total cost came to $3.24 after tax. Then, I patiently waited for the delivery, which surprisingly only took about 8 days to arrive from China to my doorstep.
