SOT: Epi juniors (or clones?) for less than US$200 (Oz$230) ???

Hi
Has anyone seen these?
There's a bunch of 'em listed on Aussie e-bay.
What does an Epi Junior usually cost?
It looks like the real thing...

I paid US$99 for my valve Jr head from guitar center, I have it paired with a 10" jensen speaker, it's a great sounding combination. The volume is pretty good for me since I live in an apartment, I keep the volume at about 12 o'clock, and that's about as loud as I think I can go before upsetting the neighbors.

Woh!
I had no idea they were so cheap.  I played one a while back and really liked the "touch of growl" it gave.
