    I see a lot of chargers but they don't include the power cable. Seems there are a few chargers that say they're genuine for about $30. Does anyone have any experiences with a certain seller on ebay that sells them genuine? Thanks

    I found a replacement charger by searching on AmazonUK. I thought I'd be more likely to get a 'genuine' genuine one that way. Found some good sources of spares. They charged an extra £1 for a power lead that is noticably better quality than any of the others I've got.

    Might be more reliable than ebay.

    I don't have any specific advice, but if someone has been around for a while and has a good reputation I wouldn't have any fear in dealing with them, particularly for a relatively low-cost item.

    On problem I've ever had, come to think of it, was a seller on Amazon. They never sent the book and didn't respond to enquiries. Once the shipping period expired and Amazon was willing to step in my money was refunded immediately.

    That's why I looked on Amazon.

    Clones UK - http://www.clonesuk.com/ supplied my replacement charger and I'd happily use them again, if anyone wants stuff in the UK.
