Prices have gone up!! Used to be about $23 for the cheapest. Not sure why it's now $50. I think I'll try and find the battery locally :confused:

Ya, with shipping charges like that, I would definately try and find the battery locally. When the shipping charges are more than the item, there is something wrong.....Especially when it's by that much. OYE!


Anyways, I'm heading out to have lunch with my wife and mom. Talk to ya later. :cool:

I'm sure I can find the battery. I tried at Radio Shack in Michigan while I was there and the guy couldn't find a listing for it :rolleyes: I'll try some other places. I just checked it out online to see how available it is.

Can't you buy those at a local drug store or something? $50 is ridiculous! How often do you need one of these batteries?

I sure hope it's available. I figured that Radio Shack would have one, was kinda surprised that they didn't. I'll look elsewhere when I go to town tonight.

DHL is failing me with respect to tracking :(

My grandfather mailed some replacement IEMs (warranty) today... and it doesn't show up in tracking...

I've had Germany to UK tracking issues in the past... but only once they reached the UK....
