where you buy your sd(reg,mini,micro) cards

sonicwind · August 17, 2006, 11:03:43 PM

I would like to start a thread on where you bought your sd(reg,mini,micro) cards and if the place you bought it was good/bad was at a good pricing and had decent ship time. This is so new users such as myself know where we can get nicely priced cards from places that have good reputation.

p.s. I don't know if this is the right stuff to put this but there didn't seem to be any other section.

I bought at buy.com for the 1GB Sandisk Ultra II microsd card for only 39.99 (after mail in rebate). It was a weeklong special with free shipping. Ordered on the 11th and recieved it today via fedex. I liked the site but when you go to purchase the default free shipping was not chosen. It was the 2-3 day shipping at some dollar rate. So you have to reselect the free shipping in the pull down menu which is like 7-9 days. Other than that, they were a breeze to order from.

eBay is great, tonnes of used ones (which is great), and they are usually really cheap. I got my 2gb Sandisk Mini SD for $40.

The only problem with ebay is that alot of them are fake cards

i ordered a 2GB microsd card from emartbuy because they were the only ones having it besides verizon. They're prices are good but shipping takes alot longer than rhs even though their closer to me.

Newegg seconded. I have been using them for years....for all of my pc/memory needs.

sonicwind · August 21, 2006, 03:59:55 PM

yea i think i'll start buying stuff from them now.

Well, the cart I got is definately real. You just have to make sure who you buy them from. Whenever its from Hong Kong, I'd stake my life on it that its a fake.

just bought a Ritex 150x 1GB MiniSD from NewEgg. Good to know that their feed back is good.

A suggestion-Edit your post with the places people have suggested to buy from

I buy my SD/CF/miniSD local at Fry's. I can get high speed 2GB SD or CF for for less than $40, and 2GB miniSD for less than $50.

I purchased a 2GB miniSD and a 1GB microSD from newegg....$39.99 each. I don't know how they do it, but they are seriously the best deal I have ever found. And they are 100% legit.
