I was ready to say you've made my day but unfortunately those rtlsdr dongles use the mostly unwanted Fitipower FC0012 tuner and not any of the better Raphael tuners (R820T2/etc) that are most common and expected for rtl-sdr dongles. The frequency range supported and the rtl-sdr software ecosystem for FC0012 are minimal.
Looking around on aliexpress most at that price at FC0012 tuner based (even if they say R820T). There are a couple actual R828D dongles but the price shown seems to be one time thing "welcome deal"/75% off and the actual price is more like $25. Dang. Still, I'll keep my eyes on aliexpress now as well as ebay, so thanks.
