The part itself was only about $2.00.:eek: [url=http://www.searchmebaby.com/imagehosting][img]http://www.searchmebaby.com/imagehosting/uploads/3729efb159.jpg[/img][/url]"

tracepeople said: "was if from ebay? did you win the auction for like $1? The US postoffice needs to search certain packages if they are going overseas and for this they charge $25! So count yourself lucky :) That's harsh on small american companies who sell abroad."

Sharky said: "LOL $12 shipping for that thats helerious!!"

chris3471 said: "Actually it came directly from Pioneer."

Sharky said: "never herd of it lol"

tracepeople said: "how much was the item worth? less that $12? lol"

Heather said: "Sometimes you have to pay the price for things you want. Our DVD player stopped working the other night, so we had to drop 62.00 to replace it. This same player would have cost a few hundred dollars a few years ago.."

tracepeople said: "hey, I can add as well, chris! :D"

chris3471 said: "Here's the worst part, it fixed the problem and then burned out as well so it wasn't the source of the problem it was the result of another. I give up, I'm not about to spend another $15 for another one just to make the lights work again, I may just bypass the lighting circuit all together."

raven said: "Isn't there a distributor in your area where you can pick up whatever it is you need?"

chris3471 said: "The part is considered obsolete, that's odd because it was used up until 2002 in several Pioneer cd players."

hellmonkey said: "I was thinking of buying clothes from the net but thought better of it lol. Anyway my main point is that the [B]$28![/B] delivery charge was less than the extra cost of buying them from the uk! :eek: This is such a messed up country..."
