Can anyone please advise on what would be a good price in pounds sterling to pay for a very good condition XDA2S I have been offered one at £250 but think this may be a bit expensive.
Since it is a while since I have been on the newsgroup I do not know if there are problems with this phone, therefore not too sure if it is worth buying one
Or can anyone recommend where to buy at a reasonable prince and/or if alternatives are available/better.
Much appreciated....John.
If you're unsure of the going rate of an XDA 2s check on Ebay, that gave me a decent indication when I bought mine... although I actually did buy mine from there anyway in the end.
I would say that £250 is a pretty good price providing the screen and housing is in good order.
xda in £'s
thanks I'll check this out. john
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.
Hey guys it's my first post in this 4rum.
Since I just got my G2 2 days ago and currently look for some accessories, I just came across this and thought I would have share for anyone that is interested.
This is a Black Friday deal for Sandisk MicroSDHC 32GB.
EDIT: Since I'm new I can't post the link but you can always go to Sandisk website and look in there.
Price: $62.99 with free shipping
Apply promo code SDTHANKS10 for an additional 10% off.
Final cost: $56.69
Was debating between a 16GB class 10 and this but in the end couldn't resist the price and made the jump, hopefully it's a good purchase.
Nice find. Thank you.
Thats a good price...to bad US site wont ship to Canada where they are selling them for 203.99!!!! WTF!! Someone should tell them that the dollars are almost equal now. lol
During checkout I noticed that it said the item wasn't in stock? Anyone think I shouldn't go through with it.

i got a 32gb but android can read it.....
Hmm, I went ahead and placed the order, backorder be damned.
I've emailed customer service to see if they have any idea when it'll be back in stock, and will gladly update this thread when (and if) I hear anything substantive :]
Thanks for pointing out the deal, OP!
I bought this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WGJYCY/ref=oss_product
When it was $77 shipped ..I see the price has been jacked up to $79 shipped but still a good deal.
Its a class 2, but from the reviews its actually rated around class 4..and I have used mine, its not slow or anything.

Should be the same one I ordered from SanDisk, but buying directly from retailer website so the risk of getting a fake one is minimal. Anyway I heard SanDisk never make a 32GB Class 4, it should be Class 2.
For anyone with the backorder status. I contacted SanDisk and the rep said that my item will be shipped on the 13th, so it takes about 3 weeks to get here but well for the price guess I can't really complain.
Thanks for the update, iTravis-- the 13th will be a fine day :]
As regards the Class 2/Class 4 issue, I remember reading on these and other boards that Class ratings aren't always super reliable (especially between separate brands, although to some degree within the same manufacturer as well).
I'm blanking on the exact post, or I'd link the thread. In either case, let's hope our cards pull some Class 9 billion speeds on us, right?
I did read those threads and that's why I decided to get the 32GB instead of the 16GB class 10, for the price you can't beat it anyway . I guess we'll be fine if just use for apps and music.
Look what just popped up in my email:

Ha, you paid more than I did. LOL Well, got tracking number and it will be here by next Thursday. Price went back up to $199.99 on Sandisk website so this is definitely worth the wait.
Some people say they got a class 4 from Sandisk, I'll just keep my finger crossed.
I'm not trying to thread Jack so OP please forgive me...but for my few and fellow Canadians...newegg canada has wintec 16GB class 10 cards for 35 I believe it was. I bought 3 of em.
ALSO regarding shipping from USA...if you don't mind crossing the border to pick up parcels from cross border mail services, just call your credit card company and ask them to add and authorize the US parcel service company address as a secondary billing address. Then you can order from the USA to the parcel company's address if the retailer has to match your credit card billing address with the shipping address!

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
