lol, where do you think import communications gets them from?
radio888 and 409 shop are both well known for replacing bad parts and 
pieces, even entire orders when there is an issue...so I'm not sure why 
paying 65 bucks for something is somehow better than paying 50...unless you 
just want to keep the extra 15 bucks in the US economy...oh, and have the 
shipping be about a week faster.
I have no direct economic interest in the US economy, so buying from china 
takes out the middle man which saves me money because that middle man is 
getting  them from precisely the same place I am...china.
Maybe customer support is better, but you won't find a better user support 
group than the yahoo list, which is free.
