Unhappy 177€ !!!

I just called the company which fixes the prs 505 reader for Sony in Austria and asked how much the metal case or the cable costs which I need to fix my ereader. 177€ - some expensive aluminium...
the guy was as astonished as I

thats what I call a profit margin1

cheers,

Get a casing through buying a defective reader on this forum.

Are you SURE that it is the casing/cable that is causing the problem?, I only found out that my casing/cable was causing the problem I was having after a LOT of fidgetting...

Holy Mother of Money! That's like a thousand USD dollars!

It's really $2.40 USD, which is just a few bucks shy of a brand new 505. That's CRAZY!

Sony's like 299 Euros in Europe so it's still a bit of a difference!

Is anybody actually paying 299.- euros? Why not have the thing shipped from overseas? Or, get it in the UK - I only paid 190.- euros in UK, and apperently they are even cheaper in US or Asia.
