I bought a 2Gb Sandisk MSProDuo on eBay for £25 delivered last week. It looks quite genuine to me. I even managed to register it on Sandisk's website.

It's usually the Sony ones that are faked - but there are fakes of Sandisks too. A common faking method is to get a card - such as a 128mb one and re-label it 2gb, then all that needs doing is to add a bogus partition on the card - insert it into any device it will tell you it is a 2gb card - start filling it up and the problems will start happening.

Has anyone ever used this company?
The website is not to the standard of other websites I've bought from (said in least offensiev way I could manage).

Seems to have gone walkabout - pity, I was just about to order one!

The other thing that should be considered when purchasing from sites with a third party payment setup (e.g. PayPal) is that your contract is between you and PayPal. If the company goes bust or whatever, Visa et al won't cover you as your half of the transaction with PayPal is ok.

High does anyone else know of anywhere selling these for a simmilar price apart from ebay ?

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if the card is genuine or not?
