I need suggestions as to where to get a replacement laptop keyboard

[Tony Lekas]

It should not matter how much either the R&D or the summer home costs 
unless you are purchasing something where there can be negotiation on 
the price, such as a car.  Either the potential buyer decides that the 
keyboard is worth the money or not.  Are you going to decide not to buy 
something that you think is worth the price just because you are 
offended by the amount of profit the seller is making on it?
