I have seen this on sale (but have no experience with it) but it seems like a good deal for $79. Only Android 5.1 though.

Bought a Samsung Grand Quattro a while back for $28 at Toul Songe Market. Its a second hand but genuine phone. I reflashed the firmware and afterwards it updated from the Samsung site ok. I think Psar Songke is probably the cheapest place for phones if your looking for cheap second hand or knock offs.

^^^ You're probably right. Phones that cheap were probably knocked off.

no android 6 and the prices include shipping

I just saw it on sale for $59 @ http://www.gizbeat.com/review/leagoo-m5-review/

For the next 17 hours (From 13:30GMT / 09:30EST) the Leagoo M5 has crashed to an incredible $59.49 shipped.

Sorry, I meant 'knocked off' as in stolen.
