Once again, cheaper to buy brand new memory cards

[sjackal]

Comex Sept 2013.

Many people selling on BNS old and used memory cards more expensive than brand new. Even when the it shows are over, usually these prices are carried over back to the shops too.

Dnt like they no longer sell 45mb/s SD extreme, especially 16GBs, which is all I need and use.. was selling abt $24 in SLS?

Remember buying few when mcdonalds vouchers were given, very worth it..lol
Cant remember which reseller though..

Yes, better to buy VM cards

Today I was in SL, compared the micro SD 16GB. With VM sticker is 29.90. Without VM sticker, it's 19.90.

Big difference in pricing, but there must be a good reason for it......

Yeah I thought the 45mbps was good enough. Might be discontinued. Maybe sls stores still carry some stocks.

Some peeps may not be up to date with flash memory prices. Especially prices tend to move quickly with newer versions coming out.

Actually there is a way to get a VM card from a non VM card... but I can't tell here

 

[trd2970]

There are some cards sold at comex without VM sticker. The promoter mentioned they are also from a authorized disty Kaira (or something similar sounding). Any idea if it's legit?

Parallel import maybe

Parallel import maybe

VM isn't the only authorised distributor.

So to ensure hassle free rma, one is expected to keep the receipts and the VM sticker on the box?

 

[daredevil123]

I never bought or will never buy memory cards on BnS. There are just too many fake ones floating around in the market.

Hi all,

I just got a Sandisk Extreme 32Gb 80mb/s from BB. I suspect it's fake. Dont have "Sandisk" engraving behind. Can anyone advise me? I feel cheated....
