Samsung OEM i9250 digitizer assembly: Where to buy?

[steevo1]

I am trying to find a Samsung OEM Galaxy Nexus i9250 Black Full LCD Display with Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly. I see several "compatible" ones on Ebay (not Super Amoled), but I cannot find a genuine Samsung OEM digitizer with the exception of a couple of Chinese sites that I am not sure I could trust. I contacted Samsung and they advised me that they do not sell parts to consumers.

Has anyone tried any of the digitizers for sale on Ebay?

I can't imagine it would be much cheaper than what Samsung charges to replace it. I think its $162 or something. Several people have done it.

I did contact Samsung, but my Galaxy Nexus is a UK GSM phone that I purchased from Expansys USA. Samsung USA will not support or repair my phone in any way. I then contaced Samsung in the UK and they advised me that they would not repair my phone because I do not live in the UK. I contacted Expansys USA to see if they could send the phone to Samsung UK for repair on my behalf, and they said the charge would be between $200.00 and $300.00. I thought it was odd that he quoted me an estimated cost with that wide of a range. The Expansys representative did not seem very interested in my problem.

I was anxious to get my Galaxy Nexus when it was first released, and that is why I purchased it from Expansys USA. I see now why some people cautioned me about buying from importers. I will never buy another phone from an importer.
