I was just in an electronic shop in Luxembourg and I hadn't realised just how pricey these things can be.
The most expensive works out at over 75,000bt!

Yes, but the description clearly says 'Samsung charger 25w'

It does say that but 108bt would be a bit optimistic for an original Samsung charger!
