Anyone ever buy one of those $0.99 cell phone batteries off of eBay?

The guy has over 11,000 feedbacks with a rating over 99%. He claims they are Nokia OEM with the hologram sticker on it. I can get two for about $6 with shipping. Other battery sites I Googled had them from $17 to $30 for OEM Nokia. I might be gambling with $6 but WTF?

    With all the isues going around with lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries, i would not take the chance of buying batteries that might melt my cellphone or worse, explode while recharging. Nokia had this problem a while back in europe.That might explain the cheap price on ebay. Google around for nokia cell batteries for more info.

    Just compare the mAh and if it's comprable then I say go for it. As long as you have insurance on your phone, you can always get it replace if the thing melts.....lol.
