Oh, I know they are. Hell, one car charger I had kept blowing a fuse. I replaced a fuse, and it blew my car's fuse. But that's what you get for 55 cents.

Problem I am seeing, if Sprint's OEM accessories may cost $10 wholesale, you know they will sell them for $35 or more. Markup on accessories is HUGE

I am well aware of that I used to work for Best Buy for a time. I know how much markup there is on stuff that they sell which is normally better stuff than u will get at a Kiosk in the mall kind of thing.

I was in a Sprint store once when a gentlemen just upgraded to a Touch Pro. I forget what he was upgrading from, but he asked the sales lady about a car charger. She stated that the one he had was not compatible with his new phone and a new one would be $31.99. I butted in and told him to either go to another store like Wal-mart to save a little money or go online to save a lot of money. He said he didn't feel like going through the trouble. To make a long story short, I ran out to my car and gave him my OEM Motorola mini-USB car charger before she could ring him up. It's not like I didn't have plenty more at home. I just could not see another person get ripped off.

Do you guys think I'm crazy?

sounds like you were being a good person... nothing crazy about that. It's crazy that more people don't do that.

If there were more people in the world that do good things like that, maybe the world wouldn't be as screwed up as it is now. You did good.

i have had to take my cheap piece of crap car charger back to the sprint store about 6 times in the short period of time that i have had my tp2. It cost like $30 and they break every couple of weeks. The only good thing is that they always replace it with a brand new one when i bring it in. Replacing it with a new one is koo but i dont like having to go to the sprint store over and over again just to have it replaced all the time. Finally I kept the brand new one they gave me last time and went to Target I bought one for $15 and i have 90 days to return it. On top of that it has a lifetime warranty (if i need to access the warranty i would have to mail it in and thats even more of a hassle but now that im getting an evo im gonna give the new sprint one to whoever i sell my tp2 to.... return the one i bought at target and buy a new one that fits my evo. (from target)
