Im with you on that one, not everything is cheaper on ebay. You do have to be knowledgable in the cost of things. I do buy almost everything online (mostly from ebay) because it is always cheaper than locally but ebay has so much corruption now and so many non-payers. I sold my iPhone there and they person hasnt sent payment left and even though I will get a final value credit, it still cost me again to list it. And it wasnt cheap to list it there in the first place. Overstock auctions are becoming a favorable site for me now but the community isnt as large as ebay so its a trade off.

The only really good advice I can offer the OP is to buy a quality aftermarket or OEM battery. DO NOT buy a japanese cell or generic battery as they will not hold a charge over a long period of time.
