Why would I pay $16.99 for a battery at Radio Shack when 100 vendors on Ebay are selling them for $0.99 with $1.00 shipping?

Because if you buy it at radio shack then radio shack gets more money... they don't make enough from cell phone contracts and convincing old people they need better hdmi cables

I would have bought 3 for sure if it were $7.99 ea. That's a total of $24 smackaroos they could have had of my money!

But they had to go and mark it up by 1700%. Fuck dat noiz!!


So I bought 4 batteries with 200 more mAh each for a total of $7.96.

$16.99 is more than 2 hours of minimum wage of labor for batteries.

Fuck em. The value just ain't there.

I, too, get angry when the local businesses sell out of Dr. Scholl's inserts and have to wave my shoes in the air like I just don't care.

I think it has to do with lysol not working for sweaty islamic men

DEAR MANUFACTURERS,

PLEASE BUILD THINGS BETTER SO THAT ALL WE HAVE TO DO IT IS PURCHASE AN ITEM ONCE OR TWICE IN OUR LIFETIME IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO RETIRE LATER IN LIFE. I FIND MYSELF REBUYING EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE EVERY FIVE YEARS.

I bought some cheap rechargeable batteries for my wii controllers on eBay. The bitches only last about 15 minutes, then take hours to charge.

So maybe that's your answer
