I heard that. It's true. 20 plus postage for a used one, 25 plus postage
for a new one. Standing offer.

So you have money to blow on batteries but not on the more ecologically
sound alternative?? Take the long view (say, more than 5 hours worth,
how long a set of batteries will last) and make the investment in our
childrens future.
I can't beleive I just said that.

I run the batteries for 5-10 minute periods when showing it off or taking
pictures. 6 batteries have lasted me well over a year now. Batteries=cheap.
We also have lots of other stuff in the house that can use batteries and that
don't have a DC plug. Batteries=versatile.
(previous to discussion) We can get batteries at Radio Shack, a Lego power
source involves buying something I don't want <trains>. Batteries=available.
Power supply has a cord, batteries don't. Batteries=portable.
We have a battery recycle bin at work. Batteries!=environmentally unfriendly.
For most applications, batteries win.
All that being said, someone is sending me a spare they have in exchange for
credit in my sale.
So the point becomes rapidly moot. :)
