Where did you get your PSP memory sticks from, and how much did you pay for them?

BTW, I'm also after an adapter to allow the Pro Duo to fit in a normal memory stick slot, if anyone has one to spare!

The one i bought on ebay came to €93 inc delivery for 1gb and it had an adapter yoke to fit memory stick readers, pretty good.

I just asked the eBay seller for certification from Sandisk to prove that these cards are genuine. He was unwilling to provide this - there is no way these cards are genuine Sandisk at GBP19 each.
Copied cards are now so well designed that it is almost impossible to see the difference - but one thing that should give it away is the very low price (Sandisk sell these cards at USD65-70 to distributors who buy several thousand pieces at a time).

It's = 76.0599 EUR on xe.com
And in reality the exchange rate will be a lot worse... so tis about 80euro... but good spot all the same

And you still have to check if they'll charge extra to ship to IREland#
Oh and tis shipped from HK, whereas if you pay 85euro you can get it in about 2 business days ... as opposed to about 10

I'll look for link... below is what got for bro...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7547035576

Seems he doesnt have any more at the mo, but am sure could email and ask...
It was ordered Thurs Sept 22nd at lunch time and arrived following monday

you're joking right???
its £19 and then 40 for shipping and insurance
shipping & insurance actually costs about £6 from HK
it is expensive so the seller pays less FVF to ebay.

£52(including s/h and insurance) converts to ~ E80. decent price

I think you missed the few lines below that though. 11 GBP for shipping and 22 GBP for insurance - all required.

That's how these people cut on eBay fees, by charging extortion prices for shipping and insurance, even though the actual price is more likely just a few quid.

Right, I get it now... I am not that familiar with eBay, but I see the point. So the product price actually has nothing to do with actual cost of purchasing the product...

OK Tusky, if you find something like that let me know.
I hate those HK and Singapore guys who have extortionate S & H fees. The sooner eBay clamps down on them the better IMO.

BTW, I'll just mention to that mine for €93 was from a uk seller and was delivered in 2-3 days. I wasn't prepared to wait 2 weeks for US or HK delivery and then maybe it would get stuck in the export rubbish, cause that happened to me before and I never got my item. (wasn't ebay, genuine net shop)

Didn't want to start a new thread as it's kinda related. I asked my sis to get me a 2GB memory stick pro duo when she hits NYC next week. She said that she's been talking to a few camera shop salespeople and that they said that 2GB cards in general aren't that reliable and that I'd be better off getting 2 X 1GB cards. Now, I can't find anything to back up this claim and I have my heart set on a 2 GB card from bhphotovideo.com in NYC. Any opinions?

Yeah, can't find anything bad about the 2GB cards except the price!! I was gonna get her to get a few of them and then sell them here on boards for a little profit but she said her credit card is just about maxed out and that she will be barely able to afford getting my one. I'm heading to NYC in Dec so might do it then myself

Yea, seems very odd that anyone would sell these cards at about 20 quid less than it costs to make them
