1GB Sandisk CF card - $249

[wetpixel 0]

SanDisk 1GB CF Card from State Street Direct.

 

Seems like a pricing error!

 

I ordered one. Shooting RAW makes a 512MB card only enough for 2 dives or so.

Thats about £150 UK. Amazing price. Where's Todd. I can't resist this price.

 

If I order & pay will they ship to Canada? I could ask Todd nicely to keep it for me until Port Hardy.

I would but they only ship to the USA and need a USA credit card. I may have to talk nice to Eric to get one as I too was going to get one.

 

I may have another avenue...I will look into it and let you know.

Todd, what WOULD I do without you!!

 

Boy I owe you plenty of Guinness.

Or a 1 gig card. hmmmmm

 

Kidding!

What speed is that card?

[yahsemtough 0]

Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on the card Eric it is appreciated.

 

Ordering was interesting as they only ship to the US and the shipping address and card billing address used have to be the same. Luckily I have in-laws in the States.

 

Mark probably thanks you too. I ordered one for him.

 

Anyway Thanks

Somehow I knew this would happen as soon as I ordered from SSD:

 

$224 at Dell

AMEX Best Value Guarantee will cover the difference.

 

Actually, I just called State Street and told them about it -- they changed my price to $242 shipped. The Dell one comes out to $223.85 + $5.50 = $229.35.

Jessops informed me I can get em for around £102... $150.00.

 

Shipping? Does it come in a 6' x 4' box?

[MikeO 5]

Jessops? And where might they be located? I found a jessops.com but the only 1gb card I saw was more in the $600 range . . .

 

And the ones I get from buy.com normally come in a 12"x8"x6" box. Not exactly the most efficient method . . .

Well, I had to order my RiData 512MB card from Australia when they first came out. They were 1/2 the cost of ones over here, back then.

Bob, are you sure? This cannot be right. I have found Jessops to be one of the MOST expensive for camera food previously.

Not only jessops but the channel island shops too.

Right Im gonna search the jessops site now. If you're right I could be ordering more. I bet Todd latches on to this!!!

[markh 0]

Right then here's the jessops price

http://www.jessops.com/search/viewproduct....&WORD_SEARCH=N&

 

£659 !!!!!

 

Where do you get yout information Bob. You've obviously been away from the UK too long.

[Cybergoldfish 1]

They don't sponsor you do they? Just shows how much "Mark-Up" there is!!!

[markh 0]

Bob, are you saying you can get for this low price? If so how many?

[yahsemtough 0]

They don't sponsor us yet but maybe they should. Diamonds in the rough!

[markh 0]

Its their loss. Think how much business they could drum up from users of this forum. Pity. Still I KNOW the deal we got from the US supplier is good.

[Cybergoldfish 1]

...and I don't get the customs knocking on the door!

[yahsemtough 0]

Neither do we. They are bought by my in-laws in the USA. They don't sell internationally.

[MikeO 5]

Update: Now $201 at Dell . . . This is getting ridiculous!

 

BTW Bob, I fully expected you to tell me Jessops was in Cuba .
