Found this from toxdoc2b's recommendation and have order one - just thought I'd share:

Edit - got carried away and ordered another :-)

I ordered as well. Most likely it is a mistake that they won't honor.

I sure hope this is legitimate – I ordered one :)

Will the standard slip case work with the extended battery? I know my Rhino Skin won’t.

I probably will only use this battery around home anyway – or as a backup.

What happens if they don't honor it? Can they charge my card without notification?

They will probably just refund your card.

By the way they also have a 1100 batter for 100% off as well. So you might want to get one of each. I would, but I already ordered and don't want to pay shipping twice.

I just ordered mine, do you think they will actually deliver?

They may be using this as a Promo loss leader to encourage you to buy other stuff and become a customer etc - the Dell original is discounted but not as much - and they may only have limited stock so it might be first come first served and once its gone etc.

They shouldn't charge us without notifying us of the mistake and getting our agreement first - hence me printing the pages, just in case.

Thats a good idea, although I already have two 1100's.

Wow, this sounds too good to be true. Is this place legit? Has anyone ordered from them before?

Ordered one.

They also accept Paypal!

I googled Alpinetop.com

They are an ebay seller with high marks.

GRR im so tempted but im not sure if I trust the store

Do these batteries work for the x51v as well? The accessories page for x51v doesn't list the battery but the x50v page does. I thought they used the same battery.

BTW, alpinetop.com's ebay rating is 98.3% with feedback of 3,800+ and they are a powerseller on ebay. The criteria for a powerseller is to maintain a 98% rating and sell at least $1,000 worth of merchandise each month. They have their share of negative ratings but should be okay. Main complaints I saw after the first few feedback pages are they take long time to ship some things.
