[Q] How can they sell these this cheap?

[keith.mcintyre26]

On ebay- how is this possible? Are these garbage? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Micro-SDHC-...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item3a5f1832d6


The same thing shopping on google is $100-$120 http://www.google.com/products?q=32...SearchBox&oe=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wf

my experience is that cheap ebay stuff is usually just as good. probably fell off a truck or the seller has some sort of connect. i'd trust it tho

 

[billakid]

they probably have like 50 of them so the price is not a issue for them Ebay is generally safe got my droid 2 for 50 bucks

Probably counterfeit

You have to be careful with media cards...there's quite a big counterfeiting business in them...from what I've read.

They actually have 695 left. How'd you pull the d2 for $50??

I wouldn't waste my time. These cards are most likely fake. They show up to windows, your phone, or whatever as 32 gb but will really be a lot less. Once at capacity, for example 2gb, extra data becomes corrupted. Having the sandisk logo doesn't mean anything, there is a lot of fakes out there. The general rule is that if somethings too good to be true, it is.

His feed back looks pretty good to me. It's super easy to check for 32 gig's obviously if it isn't there then contact the seller. Worst case you lose $12 for a couple extra gigs. I might buy one

I bought one its not much to loose ill tell ya how it is

This is very true. The digital camera folks have a lot to say about this. The cards can be formatted way beyond their actual capacity, and then fail dramatically. When they go, they're gone. Here's a couple of articles I found:

I wish you guys the best of luck, but I'd also be real careful about keeping your stuff backed up off-site. I'd sure hate to lose all my nandroids!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a $50 gift card to best buy so I'll buy a real one.

Yeah best buy wants like 120 the last time I checked. $80 isn't bad at all. Where did you find this price?

how the hell did you fill up a 16Gb card saps? i have a ton of apps installed, cwm backups, etc......cant imagine putting much more on here unless i just filled it up with pics and video.....and i have 14Gb's free still....!

maybe you should just invest in one of those little micro sd to usb adapters and dump to the pc, or sync more to dropbox?

Music is a great way to fill up the microsd..
