This was a steal and I thought I had to share.
Saw a post under this one show a Motorola OEM charger for $3.99 with Prime and $5.49 or something for standard...

Well this one is a OEM HTC for $3.09 shipped. You just need a eBay account.

OEM HTC, got mine in 7 days, so I ordered another.

$3.09. It's cheaper than the Motorola one and it's OEM.
 
I am most interested in learning if this can give a full 1 amp charge. Does anyone with one of these want to help me out with some brief testing? I have a procedure in mind, and would love to get some feedback from you.
 
My g/f decided she couldn't lose...unfortunately this thing likes to work when it wants to. Sometimes the cable needs to be adjusted just the right way for the charging light to come on but one hard bump in your car and that light turns off. Needless to say, she doesnt use it anymore, too much of a hassle to find the sweet spot every time she gets in the car.

Edit: I also had an OEM charger just like this that I bought off of ebay for cheap when I had the G1. It had the same problem but the problem took longer to reveal itself.

Thanks for the update...
 
I finally got mine in the mail yesterday. I didn't notice it in the ad if it was there but this comes from Hong Kong which explains the long shipping time. I haven't had a chance to try it out but I'm sure it will be fine. Afterall it's an oem htc charger. I'm sure a bad one gets through every once in a while but I doubt the above comment will apply to all of them.

When I get a chance to try it out I'll update.
 
I bought a car charger made my Motorola for $5. (500ma) Shipped from USA. Works fine.
I also bought a wall charger (supposedly 1 amp) from China.... Take like 100 days to charge. Not worth the $1.99 I paid. I can't seem to find a wall charger that works like the original OEM I got with my phone unless I pay $20+. Anyone know of one? With my original wall charger, I can charge 75% within an hour.
 
So I bought this thing and haven't used it yet... After root, I range between 36 - 52 hours off one charge. Moderate usage. :(

I work at a Sprint store and find that charger issues are the actual charger port.
