Honestly it isn't.....  noooo:

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__57154__S500_Glass_Fiber_Quadcopter_Frame_with_PDB_480mm.html

I simply can't see how they can build it, box it and ship it from Singapore for under €15.....

Plus, the replacement came in a shiny coloured box....

Shiny.... Drool:
