ask 'em if its brand new sealed in packaging. Because i recieved one card with no packaging even though it was marked as "brand new". Also, if they arent sealed, they COULD be second hand faulty ones, you know, you bought one from an online company, they said its faulty, they send it back. Then instead of the company sending it back also, they claim for the loss PLUS sell it on!! Its true, i knew a bloke who did this with other electronic things! He used to work for a catalogue though..
if they were from the back of a lorry, then theyd know their beans and sell them for MUCH more! i mean, there are plenty of people who would buy a card for their camera, and sd cards are SO widespread right now for all kinds of products. its wierd that that person has to sell them on ebay to get rid of them.
HEH HEH, it would be funny if hes actually selling a whole bunch of 64mb cards which total to 2gb... old used 64mb cards he took from digital cameras...
im theorising here, but i would NEVER buy it for that much!
go to www.svp.co.uk they are the cheapest i know really, with reliability and service. I mean, craigx, you sell them for £45? svp sells them for £35! and thats cheaper than ebay too! but the 2gb cards on there are about £80!! even on a cheap site like that!
All im saying is, im trying to get into the mind of the criminal here (haw haw haw im branding him a criminal already!) if YOU really wanted some cash, and had 3 brand new 2gb sd cards just lying around.. would you go on ebay, type in 2gb sd card and sell them for 1/4 of the price as they all go for?
I for one would just take a tenner off the price everyone sells them for and include postage in the price. because EVERYONE wants a 2gb sd these days, cameras, pdas, all kinds of things and memory is like nearly as popular as mp3 players and psps and xbox 360s. I am guaranteed a sale anyway, but for a quick sale, all ud need to do was take off a tenner!
If they were from back of truck..if i was criminal i certainly wouldnt put them up for sale for all to see! because there is a record of transaction, and whoever owned these cards in the first place clearly would look on ebay for sd cards of same make and same amount which was stolen and also the date it was put on.
so really, you gotta think WHY they are £35 including postage? Reason; private feedback option selected, why risk having people say "many thanks for crack, i enjoyed myself!" and give evidence of previously strange sales?!?!
haw haw haw.
Nah, this is what i think...
they are extremely cheaply made sd cards. im talking the cheapest of cheap, the write protect swtich is probably a piece of card. the card is not brand new and has just got a san disk sticker on it. its probably not even 2gb!
i have no idea really...
whenever someone gets one, please post what you got here! im so eager to get to the bottom of this mystery!
