    Last time I saw a 32mb card at that price, it was most certainly a scam.
  • 7DayShop do an own-brand 32MB class 10 for £14.99, so the price you found is in the right ballpark. For the sake of £2, I'd go with 7DayShop, though. I've used them for years and they've been 100% reliable.

    Can anybody offer opinions of this memory card?

  • There are 220 reviews on Amazon. How many more do you need?

    I never asked how many reviews there were, I asked for opinions on the memory card.

    Were the 220 reviews not enough opinions for you?

    I always look at the 1/2 star reviews on amazon to pick out the main problems with an item \ seller on amazon. Then with DSR rights know that can quickly address any problems may have..

    There are different sellers, so those reviews won't always take into consideration sellers of fake memory card.

    In which case go with the Sellers feedback - this ought to give a better impression of how they operate.. Kompbay have 4.8 stars over last 12 months off 14,358 - 97%... Order fulfilled by Amazon... So wouldnt seem anything untowards; and any purchase carries a risk of faulty products, these wouldnt appear to be a higher risk..

    Thanks, that makes much more sense. I'm not 100% familiar with Amazon, as you can probably tell. :D
