Avoiding a rip-off

A few years ago I bought a Tom Tom GO 300 GPS unit. Recently the rechargeable battery decided that it would not hold a charge anymore, so I took it to my local Radio Shack to ask them how much it would cost to replace the rechargeable battery. The person there told me that it would cost $100! Then he told me that I would be better off buying a new GPS unit for $169. Well I told him that I had to talk to my wife about it, and went home and told her what Radio Shack had told me. Well, she said that she didn’t believe for one minute that it cost that much, and went online to do some comparison shopping. She bought one for less than $20! So I don’t know what in the world that guy at Radio Shack was trying to do to me, but one thing is for sure; I’m not too inclined to go back there anytime soon!
