I've got a quote for some MN3005s at $25 each but since there are SO many fakes out there, its tough to know whats the real deal and whats a fugazi.

REAL OR NOT?

Those are standard UTSource pics. May not actually be the package they ship. FYI.

I've got a couple from UTSource in, but have not had the chance to test them. If I have time, I will and let you know how it turned out.

The MN3205 I got from them is definitely fake, but the MN3005 actually looks like the correct packaging and stamp.

The ones I got from utsource were legit. One had triangle logo and the other the M logo. Both had the boarder around the top edge. Hope that helps.
