Well, except it's from "Idaho Camera," who's charging $8 shipping, which makes it almost $50. For a piece of plastic with some copper contacts.

I think I'll wait for the $10 Chinese knock-offs. They're sure to be here soon.

all right, so I just bought 100 of the knock offs from the site in China...hopefully they don't just rip me off and not ship them to me.

You'll make a killing with these if you sell them here!

yeah, well, I was going to put them on ebay and maybe try and sell them for like $8-10 shipped on here to help out fellow members. But yeah, will update when (if) I actually get them.

Color me interested and + rep for both having the guts to try and a blatant bribe.

heh, thanks, will report in a week or two (the ETA given by the people in China).

nandystam · 01-25-2011, 01:00 AM

Count me in as interested

Hope it goes well for you.

I found that page on the internet, but didn't even consider ordering. Put me in line for a couple.

hawk1500 · 01-25-2011, 10:57 PM

oh you were the one that found the link...=)

Um, those of you that can't wait, amazon has 2 in stock for $40 again.

Bonjour Hawk,

Je suis en France ! Je suis partant pour t'en acheter 1 pour 20 $.

Dés que tu les as reçus, tiens moi au courant.

Merci.

Gilles

Brand New AA battery adapter Pentax K-r non-oem d-bh109 - eBay (item 220733588319 end time Feb-08-11 18:40:29 PST)

hawk1500 · 02-05-2011, 11:41 AM

yeah that's me...but you can get them for $10 if you are a forum member. just PM me or check my thread in the market place forum.

jangole · 02-07-2011, 08:46 AM

I just got mine today, it's a 3rd party holder from hercules accesories for about SGD$25 (US20). works fine. i do have a gripe though. . when the battery cover on the k-r is closed, there seems to be no way to get it flush with the camera body.

It works fine and the cover latches on rather easily. Anyone with this problem?

Sloglass · 02-27-2011, 09:35 AM

It looks like I bought two of these last week. They appear to work great!

Thanks Hawk1500.
