I have a V3m with a dying battery so I started checking prices, theI don't mean to be offensive, but I get offended by questions like these and
local places are all asking $40, the exact same battery on-line is
around $15 or less, I've found genuine Motorola batteries for as low
as $2!

So the question is: How do the local places justify their prices?
wonder how people can ask them. Do you think the online seller has nearly
the same overhead as the brick and mortar store? Rent? Employees? Social
Security taxes for those employees? Furnishings? Insurance? Advertising? Do
you think he wastes any time on customer service? Or do you think that
customer service is "free" because it doesn't cost you anything? How many
people do you think bother to return the defective batteries to the online
store when the return shipping charges cost more than the battery? The store
owner has to take them all back and cope with all the complaints. Are you
sure you're getting first quality products from that online retailer, or
might they be grey market, or even black market ones?
What business are you in, if I might ask? Why do you charge what you charge?
Why not less? Why do you need to get paid the salary you take home?
Geez.
