Cheap Bushranger MaxAir rip off??

Saw an advert in the local paper for a small local SA car parts franchise advertising a "new" 12V compressor- no brand names mentioned, but the pic was exactly the same as the Busharanger MaxAir (but no Bushranger sticker!), it's rated at 72l/min (same) and comes with a 10m air hose and canvas carry bag....... All sounds very familiar, but the price was only $199!
So either it's a copy (or unbranded MaxAir) or else they're selling the genuine article dirt cheap.

I've already got a ridgey didge MaxAir, for what I thought I was a bargain price of $292.........
Might have to call into one of the stores to suss them out though.

there is a copy out there with a plastic piston, that fails quite regularly, not sure if its this one or not.

Probably not much different to any other brand compressor; and I certainly couldn't make one for that price!
