No experience with the website but here’s a google maps photo of the address where the engine is supposedly sold from and where your money will go to in Pontianak, Kalimantan.

If it's too good to be true...

Seriously, I'd be hard pressed to believe that somehow a reseller could significantly undercut the list price from Beta, given the volumes involved.

Beta would simply stop supplying them to protect their dealer network.

Sounds like a scam .

If all the engines were stored in the right side of the building… it might be real. In the
Picture it has a distinctive lean in that direction.

Check with Beta and find out if they are legit dealers and let us know.

Apparently so
Just need to look at the stupid prices being charged for everything and punters falling over themselves to part with coin.

You can find a better deal on craigslist. I looked at that years ago It's a scam. If you really want a good deal on an engine find a used one.
