    Cheapest place to buy a safe Magsafe 1 Power adapter

    So, I'm super uncomfortable buying third party power adapters (fire hazard and such) but I don't want to spend $80 on a new charger for my $300 computer. Any ideas on a safe third party alternative - or a "known good" seller on Amazon or Ebay? Thanks!
