I just ordered a Lenmar Mach 1 Speedcharger for BP511 batteries from ZipZoomFly.com for $29.99. The prices at PriceGrabber.com vary from $29.99 at ZZF to $65 at other places.

Even those nice people at http://www.thomas-distributing.com/lm-msc1.htm sell the same charger for $64.87.
Does anyone know how ZZF can be so cheap? They are rated highly at PriceGrabber and BizRate. How do they do it?

I'd say a very little markup, and a hope of huge quanity of sales. Or it's a misprint.

Volume! And the fact that they don't have retail locations. Warehouses are much cheaper than store fronts.

has anyone use this before? If so, does it really charge NB2LH and NB2L batteries in just 30min?

Extreme markup MSRP!!! Low production cost (less then $10)!!!

I've bought a lot of computer parts from ZZF _ never had an issue with them and most stuff is free 2 day shipping.
