This is true, there is a handling fee and a 15% restoking fee from ecost. The price of the remote with the handling fee ($7.95) is $117.90. The restoking fee would only be applied if you purchase the remote and decide to return it because you don't like it. If there is something wrong with the remote we will gladly exchange it. Again I will give a better price than the one listed here to any one from this board!
