To be clear, I'm not talking about using a remote control to rob somebody.
Instead I'm talking about getting fleeced buying a replacement remote control.
The remote on my Magnavox DVR/DVD player has a button which is failing. It's a button I use often which replays what I'm watching back 15 seconds.
So, I need a replacement remote. Looked at Amazon and one seller shows out of stock. Another shows $79.95 + $4.95 shipping. No way, will I pay that much. That's like if you buy a $30K car, but the key costs about $2K.
I did look around and ordered the same model remote for about $29. Still high, but more reasonable. Unfortunately, I made two orders . One while rushed (haste makes waste) from a place with very negative reviews. A place that according to complaints does a bait and switch and tries giving a generic remote instead of an OEM one.....We shall see...
