I have £150 to buy an XDA 64 meg version. Ebay have sold several 32 meg version at £125 recently and there has been a marked drop in price on 64 megs. I would prefer to buy from somebody who has looked after their handset which most of you probably have done. Anybody interested please message me or email at [email protected] I am in Gloucestershire. England. Thanks.
Wish I had known this )should check the board more often) as I just sold my 4 month old 64MB XDA to my brother in law for £100!!!
I know that O2 have just recalled all the XDA's back to the NDC (discontinued sales of them through O2 Retail) , so there may be some cheap ones flying around the independant shops soon.
Yes I have been offered 64meg ram refurb units as new for £150 as well, on ebay too the price is sliding downward, also the xda2 came down quite quickly. I think the xda is now the best phone/pda bargain on the market in the price range, you cant get a decent pda for the price.
Don't be an idiot like I was.
Before you buy any micro SD cards on eBay, make sure the seller is *not* listed on this website:

In fact, if any mods are listening, could you please pin this thread? I know some of the forums for other devices have threads on this subject, but if they sink, nobody will get the warning.
Thanks.
or you could just avoid buying flash from ebay all together.
Whatever works.
I was wandering around my hometown yesterday pricing 16GB cards. The cheapest price in a shop was EU80 -- nearly $100.
I believe there are reputable sellers on ebay selling for less than half that.

I got my 16gb card for 2.50$
That's great, but be careful. The biggest scam out there is 2 and 4gb cards programmed to look like 16gb to your operating system. The only way to test them is with a free utility called h2testw.
Hopefully your card is a good one. Mine turned out to be 2gb.

There are a lot of Kingston 32GB microsd cards being sold out of the US via Ebay for $199+, and they're all fake. Only Sandisk have released the 32GB versions.
Be warned..
For those in the US, just buy from Newegg. I got 3 16 GB microSD cards for $41 apiece.
you can also tell by filling up the card
if it doesn't go past 2gb, it's not a 16gb card

Newegg was selling Fake Intel processors only a few weeks back. No one can be trusted
Amazon for flash
I prefer to buy from Amazon as they tend to shift the fake sellers off the marketplace quickly.. just bought a 16gb micro for £21.00

5 week delivery though verb i have just checked my 16gb from ebay and it was fake paypal claim gone in cheers op
Better to wait...
I've not touched eBay memory cards since I bought a Sony from a 'trusted' seller. Turned out to be a cheap knock off. I had my money back in a day after suggesting to the seller that I'd be contacting Sony's fraud investigations team if I didn't get prompt action.
Then I contacted them anyway

They "Weren't just Selling them".
Their supplier sent them a batch of fake CPUs. Once new-egg discovered the error, they refunded money and offered discounts and also dropped the supplier.
It was clearly an accident.

wth. You sound like you work for a certain political spin machine.
Clearly, anyone with half a brain, can see that Newegg expediently rectified the situation. If anything, this situation with the bunk processors would put Newegg in an even more trustworthy position than they were prior to this unfortunate incident.
i recommend newegg we have 4 a-data 16gb class 6 cards from them.. work great.. stay away from 16gb sandisk cards.. i have had 5 failures with these (their 8gb cards work fine though)

I bought two Sandisk 16gb Class 6 cards for £40 each from a Asian in Canada. When I received, I benchmarked them & found that they didn't even perform at a class 2 level.
I put on a claim on ebay & contacted seller. The seller said that there are alot of fakes on ebay & that I has sold thousand in his store without any complaints. I got a full refund.
I bought a Genuine Team 16GB Microsd Class 6 from another seller ebay id: taiwanlien. I have benchmarked it and everything.
If anybody does want to buy memory from ebay buy it from this seller taiwanlien.
Thanks

Heyy
I wanted to buy a micro sd card in UK for.my nexus one possibly 16gb or 32gb...i looked over at ebay and price of 32gb is.quite weird as its only under £25 and 16gb is of about £20...has any of u bought it from ebay uk before?? I need to be sure if the.cards.are not fake
Thanks
90% of them are fake so be careful do research and go on and buy one if you like to gamble.
Agreed.
It's probably fake. Most people are not stupid. Even if they are not tech savvy they can easily find out what an item is worth and charge appropriately.
Saw this 32GB on eBay just now and it's an absolute steal for that price.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160525594986
Just wondering whether it'd work in my phone (i9000), and whether it'd work well. I know that it's not gonna be great quality, but I was thinking about just sticking music and bits like that on it so I don't need to carry around an iPod with me too.
Check the feedback.. There is a lot of bad feedback, and it seems to be mostly for computer products. Mostly all of their good feedback is from jewelery sales.
Assuming it is an original product though, yes.
Yupp, thanks for pointing that out to me. Comments seem to say the stuff is fake.
its fake don't buy it
Almost all of those "deals" on flash memory on ebay are fake. You'll end up getting a 1 or 2gig card that is made to look like a 32gig card. Don't buy it.

The Chinese writing on the packaging screams "FAKE!"
I wish somebody or some organisation would take eBay to court for being an accessory to fraud. Perhaps they would stop allowing this then. Look at these guys feedback it is obvious there is a serious problem.
I wouldn't be afraid of buying it. if its fake, i'd sent it back, and get all your money back. ebay and paypal is really good at it. never lost any money on fake stuff yet.
i bought a 32gb "supposed" sandisk one from ebay before christmas, came from China, when it arrived the packaging was awful, but the card worked.............for around 30 seconds, tried putting anything on it and it died and was no longer showing up on anything
basically they are naff, you may get one that lasts for a while, i personally wouldnt bother, i paid £11 for mine, it took 6 weeks to get here, worked for less than a minute, and took 5 weeks for a refund due to the utterly awful postage service returning it to China
Just saw Greggles talking about this yesterday. You get a S9 Plus and you get a free Chromebook and a 64gb micro SD card as well.
If you don't use the spen a lot is that deal with it since it's $100 cheaper than the Note 9 and getting the Chrome Book and SD card as well? Also I got an s8 Plus sitting in the drawer as well for trade in.

I got their other deal last week. They were giving $400 for trade in of the S8+ with a 256GB SD card on the unlocked models. [emoji846]

I got the deal last week too, $200 trade in for any working phone and 256GB card. I sent a working junk phone that some one gave me back.
I would never use a chrome book the 256GB SD card is more beneficial to me.
The note 9 is nice, but I would also never use a s-pen for anything.

Pretty good deal, the total for my 128GB S9+ and 128GB redEvoSD is $840 including state tax and after subtracting additional $140 I have gotten for the Chromebook. Total price. Just opened email from Paypal that someone paid me $160, the asking price for the 32GB Chromebook. Not bad, it's been 'back to school' season, it took only 2 days to sell it. I don't have a need for that chromebook, glad that someone have it, brand new, for $60 below orig. price. They paid extra $10 fee to swappa, I'm shipping it out tomorrow, label printed, paid $23 to USPS for that.
I got the deal too.

I did not think about the back to school angle. Nice!
I buy brand new, never been used, phones only once every 5 - 6 years. I usually buy off swap or local. So I always go big when I do.
Got the 256B unlocked version and the 256 GB card for $818 and some change. Of course that is pending they accept my 200 trade in. The phone had no cracks, held a charge, and was no other issues besides cheap.
I was slow on the draw and missed the sale they had a couple of weeks ago when they were giving out free bluetooth headsets. was kicking myself, but realized I have a really good pair so. Storage is what I need most.
i'm not sure the deal is working correctly...
the final payment is over $1000 when the phone is only $839, and the fine print says excludes taxes... seems like they're charging for the "free" chromebook?

Breakdown:
The deal-end of July'18)Galaxy S9+ 128GB (Unlocked) : $889.99, MicroSDXC EVO Plus: Free, Chromebook 3 11.6” (32GB Storage, 4GB RAM):$29.99
Subtotal $919.98 + $58.41 Tax = total $978.39, sold chromebook for $160 on swappa(usps shipping $22) === the real price I paid for the phone and SD===$840
Well, nothing is free. I'm happy to have this phone, though with sagging sales on S9/+ we should see much better deals soon.
I have a question to ask, if you guys don't mind, what is the current SV number on your phones, you've probably bought your phones around the same time as I did and I'm baffled by having SV07, is that the # tells how many times the software was cycled on the phone? I only got one OTA installed so far. Did I pay for a 2nd hand phone?
