Low cost bluetooth module, deal or no deal?

I remember seeing someone post a link before, about "ELM327 based bluetooth module" at a very low cost at DX (http://www.dealextreme.com/) here at PIClist, don't remember what it is called. You should be able to Google it and dig it out. (It is quite interesing, DX is a Hongkong registered company, but their web server is hosted in the USA. The 2nd place I saw people mentioned DX is at SparkFun forum.)

After some quick search on bluetooth module at that web site, I am just curious how come they sell a bluetooth module for "US$ 2.47 and shipping included".

Here in USA and Canada, a regular air shipping starts from US$6-7.

I will feel so sad if someone tells me this is true. How come the USA and Canada shipping system post such a high overhead to regular citizens/businesses who lives here.

Is this a real deal? Good deal? Bad deal? Finger crossed. (those reviews seem very positive.)

Here is the info:
"Super Mini Bluetooth 2.0 Adapter Dongle (Vista Compatible)
Price: $2.47 "

And the web link:

<piclist@...> writes Vitaliy, I seem to remember you were selling bluetooth modules at one
time? Is my mind playing tricks on me with my old age or am I correct
because I can't seem to find them on your web site?
