Don’t overpay for the Seidio battery (BASI13PMX3) for the Pre
Seidio Battery For Palm Pre
Capitalism is great as long as you’re on the right side of the equation. People are able to offer products for whatever they want and the market decides with their wallet if they like the price or not and businesses fail based on their ability to give people what they want, when they want it and for a price that won’t make them throw up in their mouth. No, this isn’t the beginning of an lession in Macroeconomics. It’s me trying to be nice about some people trying to gouge on the new extended battery for the Pre.
Bottom line – you can get it at Amazon for under $35 with free shipping. It’s out of stock at the time of this writing but if you order one you’ll only get charged when it ships. My order is about to go in so I can see if this new battery lives up to the hype and anticipation.
Everyone charging $35+ for this battery is looking to make an extra profit. It’s true that every store online can’t match what Amazon charges but if you want to spend more than you should – please don’t let me stop you. Otherwise, you can get a great deal on a much needed accessories for your Palm Pre.
Update: The price is now up to $44.95.
Update #2: The price just dropped back down again (7/10/09)

Uhhh – excuse me. Amazon may have used to sell it for less – but now it’s $44.95…
Much better to support a company that supports the Pre Community if you ask me.

Hey Aaron -
Great catch.
I actually wrote a new post showing that the price increased early yesterday. I’ll be sure to add that update to this post. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. It means a lot to me and anyone else who reads this post.
