I feel that buying online is the easiest and best thing to do. The only drawback is you have to wait for sometime for the stuff to arrive, but u do save on taxes too (most of the times).
If u are ok with buying stuff online then visit http://www.pricegrabber.com and do a serach for whichever part ur looking for like “PCGABP3T” for extended battery and it will give u the best price from amongst a few stores.
edit: There’s one store that’s offering it for 159 bucks :ph34r: :ph34r:
no mention of refurbished, and its a new store
