I see this on Ebay from a few Chinese storefronts. I'm out of the flash memory loop, but $1 per GB, even the high performance variety, is still hard to believe. I shoot a D800, landscapers mostly, but with slower cards I there is lock-up after less than 20 consecutive shots.

Also, is CF always superior to SD given same specs? I *sometimes" fiill up 32GB cards during my outings (scenery, landscapes during daylight) but the cards I've seen in 32GB are $40-45. Instead of ending up with one fast 32GB CF and my all of my older CFs cards I can think the herd with larger card that results - better price/size ratio. Damn, when will prices be dirt cheap? Not to complain, but either CF or SD memory is not a new invention .

That is only $20 less than the price from legitimate sellers with USA warranty and there is also the risk of counterfeit product. It's not worth the hassle to save so little IMO.

EB is right- lots and lots of counterfit Lexars and Sandisks on Ebay. If it's from China, the risks increase exponentially. Just buy from B&H or Adorama. Not worth it.

Stay away from eBay for memory cards, no matter what type or brand. Buy from a reputable and authorized dealer.

WOW! THAT is a resounding FAHGETABOUTit!!

Even in retail packaging and with 1,000+ sold and 100% feedback? But yeah, I agree China #1 phony products & Nigeria #1 scams. (And L.A. #1 phony people)

Sign up for B&H sales, I haven't seen it happen very often but they've had 50% off Lexar 1066x CF cards which is INSANE. Over 6 months ago I paid $139 for a 128gb card which was half street price! I also follow the http://www.canonpricewatch.com sales watcher blog which points to amazing deals from reputable retailers, very useful when you're not in a hurry and want a good deal. Recently they had a Gura backpack and a Manfrotto carbon tripod for 50% off street price, no idea how B&H can afford to sell that cheap but it's a great deal for all of us.

Thank u. Yes, their markup couldn't be too high. Maybe manuf subsidize them. Maybe they sell so damn many that they get mega price cuts. I know BH has Jewish roots don't know about Adorama...I think its pretty damn cool how BH refuses to conduct online sales during certain holidays. No religious debates here guys, but I wish I had ability to grow a business like some of these people (2% of worlds population)
