Telrad vs alternatives

I just wanted to share this with you guys...
It seems astronomy equipment dealers are charging arm an leg for red dot finders with brand names (telrad, orion etc).
However, on ebay, there are plenty of (copies?) for a fraction of price. And the quality is the same if not better, only difference is, there is no brand name.
Just try search for red dot sight and you will see what I mean..
I just received my "45mm Red Dot Metal Sight Scope For Rifle Pistol Airsoft", it is very well made (aluminium construction, very sturdy) for less than $40! (including postage).
Bintel is charging $79 for Orion Finder - EZ II Reflex Sight, and this is exactly the same thing (without brand) I bought from ebay couple of months ago for $35.
