Where can I get a cheap 1GB memory stick??? - PSP-Forum.com

predaking · 09-14-2005, 03:33 PM

Hi,
I live in Holland and the cheapest 1GB for me is about 95 euros. Does anyone know a online shop or something where I can get a cheap 1GB stick? I saw some ads on ebay.com from Hong Kong, but they charge huge amounts of shipping rates. Anyone some ideas???? Thanks in advance, folks!!! Predaking

there were 1gig ones going for about 20 notes on ebay, i dont know if they still are

A 1 gig for 20 notes pobably comes with a 40 notes delivery cost and mandatory postal insurance of 20 notes. It's how they do it.

I bought my Sandisk 1gb from Toys 'R Us for £79.99 (the green transparent one). A very good price for a shop - you can't get them much cheaper than that off the net.

£20 for the stick, £10 for delivery

still less than half the price youre paying in the high street

Exactly - I pointed out the postal insurance scam in my post above. I would rather pay a little extra and guarentee it arrives and I won't be done for import duty.

Yep they all do have the required insurance on them. It means they pay less ebay fees and some unlucky people get cayght out as they think they are getting a bargain.

I paid £54 all in delivered from Ebay for mine.... I made sure it was from a power seller and had no problems. It arrived in 3 days and Im very happy with it!!

Genga · 09-15-2005, 05:04 PM

still bear in mind £20 for the stick and £20 for postal still works out cheaper than £80 in the high street!

True, but you walk away with the stick from the high street AND have somewhere to take it back to should it go wrong. More often than not on Ebay, the 'guarantee' you get with a product is worth less than the paper it takes to make it.
