£15.20 to post it!!!!

Have bought CF cards from private sellers last year (Kingston Elite 1Gb cards for about £30 when they were normally £50-60 in the shops.....)

I bought a few recently from this this guy - good prices, cheap postage and quick delivery.

Seconded - Flashman852 is the only guy I'd use on ebay. My other recent purchases resulted one card never delivered and one fake card. Both were refunded, but save yourself the bother and just go with Flashman. Cost for 2GB Ultra II from him is about £34 delivered.

Thirded - used him in the past. Good service, no messing about.

I've bought from him as well but note he's reduced his postage costs. I didn't find him a great deal cheaper than somewhere like Novatech. Just the convenience of having it delivered

Suspect that the Ultra II 2gb in that auction may be a counterfeit job for that price.

Have a look at http://martybugs.net/articles/fakesan

There's a lot of it about...

[flameop]

hmm.. yep.. well I lost one :-) only 2 more to loose! lol..

gonna grab some from Flashman..


How do they get away with it if its clearly a fake.. and Sandisk can see it.. just go to where its shipped from ?

[flameop]

Another vote for flashman852 here, just got an 8gb ultra II of him last week and the postage was only £2+£1 insurance.

[flameop]

[krusty]

Yep, just bought another one....

the dodgy fakes don't have the serial numbers printed on the edge of the card anywhere

Ultra cards have now been superseded by the Extreme 3 range which have much faster write capability...dont remember the exact specs but think they are twice as fast.

I bought my 2 GB card (genuine/sealed) for £80~ from mouse2house website and delivery was very cheap...i din't pay more than £85 for the lot but cant seem to find that deal on their website.

try this link to make comparison www.warehouseexpress.com/index.cfm?photo/flashcards/sanshop.html?cd=20061115

the above are a very reliable photography supplier.

Best of luck
