Olimek does look like a legit enough website...But that price is a bit incredibly low even with tax added on.

It's a scam. Link not working for me though-

"i get a redirect to google here.. something seems fishy"
Could be that I'm using Windows, cleared cache and link still works. -

Going directly to olimek.com, the website looks like the typical scam website.
Further digging reveals it cannot be legitimate.
The contact us page states their office is located in Los Angeles, yet their FAQ states their sales office is in Las Cruces, New Mexico. If you do a google map search of the LA address, the address appears to be some sort of restaurant.
Another quick whois search reveals the website was registered with an Illinois address.
Furthermore, the same Illinois address is also shared by the domain "nokiaway.com" -
As they say, if the price looks too good to be true... it probably is. Poor job at a scam too.

"Try opening it in a new window or tab. Clicking on it directly also redirected me to google for some strange reason."
As soon as I try to copy the link it changes to a link here. -
It's not registered in IL. That address is for a service that is used to block the real address of the person that registered. Sounds like someone was trying to hide something.
