This item seems to be of exceptional quality. Anyone knows?

I would buy more than 10!

And it says they have sold 55 of them so far. I wonder sometimes about items like this, is this a code for a spy ring or terrorist group? Nobody would buy unless there is some hidden value. If you purchase do you actually get the item or something else? Encrypted data already on it?

Of course it could just be a simple typo..............................

RioRico · 08-29-2011, 10:36 PM

I should sell a few of those. Get then at CostCo for $10 each, sell for $1000 each -- no problem!

**Pepe Guitarra** · 08-29-2011, 10:47 PM

It is not even Class 10, they are Class 4. At least the shipping is free.

way too expensive for what it is !

the same cost around 18€ (23$) on amazon.

If you look at his feedback he seems to specialize in fakes

**Pepe Guitarra** · 08-30-2011, 05:15 PM

Well, I know someone that uses Ebay as an advertisement window to take people to his website. It is not uncommon to find one of the items he sells for $100million. People will go and then see what he has. It may work for him, since he still does it.

Does a free K5 come with that memory card?

**sergysergy** · 09-01-2011, 08:38 PM

I ordered 3

**ramseybuckeye** · 09-02-2011, 04:48 PM

Why not buy it from a reputable dealer for as good a price

Or here's a class 10 for about the same price. They don't ship as fast as newegg, but I've bought several items from them.

**Pepe Guitarra** · 09-02-2011, 05:12 PM

Hey, it seems like they already corrected the price. It is about $25 now.

also be aware of people flashing old 128meg and 512meg cards to make them look like bigger to the computer and then stickering them with 16GB stickers.. but then all they do is corrupt your data and waste your time... lots of scams on SD cards out there I would just buy from a reputable dealer or a local store you can always go deal with face to face.
