It amazes me how much Consumer Electronics cost from the OEM .....

A charger for a phone can cost $30-50 from the Manufacturer of the phone,
and $5 from the Chinese direct sales channel ( the one that actually made
both...) 

Part of the old story.. sell the item at a loss and make it up on the
accessories......

$210 does sound like maybe $200 too high.......
