aeriyn Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 You all should check your local Best Buy if you live in the US. I managed to locate NiMH gumpack batteries there, Energizer brand, 1200mAh (yeah, yeah, low capacity but wait till you see the price). They were on clearance. Four dollars each. :laugh: I bought all they had. All three. And, btw, I'm still waiting for the 2 NH-14WMs I bought off eBay. It's been two weeks since I ordered them. :whatever: Starting to get a little annoyed, here. Hopefully the energizers will do me till my 14WMs get here.

Kaotic Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Quite a few people have recommended buying those gumstick batteries off ebay, and many people have bought stuff on ebay with positive experience. I have peruse some of those batteries (very affordable) advertise on ebay, as I had never purchase items on ebay. It makes me nervous and worried. how reliable and trustworthy about those merchants I saw on ebay? are they fly-by-night operations.. And, btw, I'm still waiting for the 2 NH-14WMs I bought off eBay. It's been two weeks since I ordered them. Starting to get a little annoyedwith your statement like that, it just makes me wanna shy away from ebay altogether. Personally, I would stick to Internet merchants that have web presence or web store (that is not thru ebay) rather. my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well, when you think about it, it might take a while to ship from china or hong kong. Or maybe I just got ripped off of 20 bucks for 2 batteries. The ones I found are not all that high capacity (only 1200mAh) but they work, they were dirt cheap, and I have them now. My two cents. I'm trying to find those special Sony 1750mAh gumsticks... I know I've seen them before... :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I believe your order will take about 3 - 4 weeks to arrive. It was the same case when I ordered blanks from a similar vendor on eBay. I'm trying to find those special Sony 1750mAh gumsticks... I know I've seen them before... :grin:They don't exist. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabaism Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I am sure I missed something here. But what's the big deal about them? That sounds like attitude but it ain't, really am curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Gumstick batteries are rather difficult to find unless you order online. Finding them at a local retailer (in Alabama no less) is most noteworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
