I just saw thread about the fake memory cards and thought I would post this. This is NOT a rant or a way to get back at a vendor - this is a Buyer BEWARE thread.

Just received some replacement Vivitar 283 and 285 battery holder I purchased from Bruce Woodman of American Eagle over ebay.

They are CHEAP and totally DO NOT fit. If you force them into the compartment they WILL get stuck.
The plastic is cheap and the walls/fins are thicker than they should be.

"Complain all you want" says the vendor, knowing damn well that it would cost me more money to return them to him.

I thought I was purchasing "overstock" (my emphasis) but NO - I got cheaply made merchandise.

In hind sight, I should have bid on a complete flash.
