Computerguy, what prices are you seeing?

I and my family have bought 3 of these at Surf in the last month. $73 plus a little for shipping.

Probably won't matter, these remotes are pretty hardy and seldom is there a lemon. Unless Etronics is selling B stock, which they often do. That's the other reason to go with an authorized dealer, unauthorized places often have grey market or refurbs and they don't always tell you.

I can't believe this discussion is going on over $6, usually it's a hard sell with people to make them understand that unauthorized sucks because it's $300 or something. For $6 difference buy from a respectible place and bring your lunch to work tomorrow to make up the difference. Geez....
