No joke... They are listed for dirt cheap for some reason... Free shipping... problem here is that it's international shipping... so 15-29 days shipping... so don't expect it anytime soon...
Return policy is 14 days... lol
Idk, I could have just tossed $17 into a fire, but hey, if it shows up, it will be worth it!

So tempting! I'm gonna sleep on it and hopefully they aren't all gone by tomorrow

I just bought one.
hopefully its no fake
but 2-3 weeks of delivery is quite hard.
btw payment via paypal, 14,30€ is still cheaper then some 32 or even 16 GB card
I hope that the cards are not corrupt.

I'm not so sure. If this is a fake non-Sandisk product, wouldn't it have poor read/write speeds and have the potential to corrupt quickly?
Just placed my order. Seems iffy but the seller has nothing but positive reviews. Even if this is a knockoff sandisk and I get 64gb with normal read/write speeds I will be happy. I back up my sd cards anyway so if it gets corrupt so be it. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a lemming

A while ago, I bought a 32gb from eBay for around $10. It was the worst sd card I ever bought. First, it kept giving me sd card reading error. After fixing that problem, it kept crashing. As soon I unplugged it from my pc. It would crash. Lost all my data. Even when I tried to flash a new Rom, it gave me an error (installation aborted bad file).
Got so mad, I went to nearby RadioShack and bought another 32gb for around $40. Been using that card since then with no problems .
Anyway, just be careful purchasing those cheap sd cards. Make sure to backup all ur files to a computer, just to be safe.

Agreed.
In my opinion and SD card is something you dont want to go cheap on.
Buy from a reputable store.
More hassle than its worth losing data because of a junk fake card.
How many people actually fill up a 64gb card?
There are some Class 10 32gb Sandisks on eBay for about 30 bucks....that seems pretty cheap to me and I am thinking 32 would be enough no?

I've purchased from them before. There a wholesaler so you're right you have to buy in bulk. There just like Alibaba. Those are only class 2 cards too. I found lowest price 32gb > class 2 for $72 on NewEgg and those others are $188 for 10. I would turn them over for $50 a pop and make a killin'.

That's strange. I ordered a bunch of memory from them before and I received it no problem. Of course it takes almost a month to reach you because of customs. I'll make sure not to do business with them again after seeing that. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, however, for $21 and a guarantee from both Ebay and Paypal...you really have nothing to lose.
The model number they quote on the page is the model number of the actual Sandisk chip, though they could have easily pulled that information from the website for their fake product. They also say it is a class 4 (yay!)
I'm thinking of trying them out just for the hell of it!
Anything coming from china is fake. Thats why everything they sell is so cheap. If you think its real then your on crack. Dont buy anything from china.
amazon usually has pretty good deals on sdcardds
Either way, I don't feel I have much to lose at 20 bucks. Even if PayPal falls through, my credit union will refund me outright because it's under 25 bucks and I wouldn't even have to return it.
So how would we be able to tell if this is fake anyway?

If you bought one of those $30 32gb MicroSD cards it is likely fake. It may appear to be 32gb when it is placed in your pc/phone but it will not correctly store data over its true capacity. If you could please use h2testw (google it) and run the full test to verify the authenticity of your card. I bought a Sandisk 32gb MicroSD from expansys and verified it using this program.
I would recommend you guys don't waste money on these cards as counterfeit items are huge in China. 32gb of the memory used inside these cards would probably be close to if not more then the cost you are paying. So apply a little common sense here.
Ive never had any issues with china. Bought a kingston cruzer 200 128gb usb 2.0 drive for 29 dollars and it works as needed. 19 mb/s write speed and 25 read. Its a beast. And yes Ive tested its full capacity on multiple occasions. Works great.
As to your question, I have download your test software (h2testw) and am running it now. Will report when finished.
Initial tests with sdcard test on evo reports it as class 2, 3 mb/s write (not great, but it is large enough to compensate), but still getting a 12 mb/s read.
Once you get over 2gb of stuff on the card report back if the files are broken or not.
I have heard that they show as 32gb, but once you pass 2gb the files become broken, and if you format the card it formats to 2gb.
It's a rip off.
at 9 gb so far on the h2test2 program. no issues.
Where exactly did you order that card from though? Was it the ebay link provided in this thread?
http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1294236978&sr=8-9

Engadget had a write up on it today also. Just put in my preorder. Have the Sandisk Class 2 32GB. I really don't have an issue with it but if it will make my phone just a little faster in any aspect, I am willing to fork over the dough.
Edit: Woot...my vendor has the card but not instock. The estimated delivery date is 1/10/2010. Cancelled order with Amazon.
Also, the $88.00 price tag from provantage below is really good. Very little over vendor cost. Probably not going to see it cheaper than that unless you are a vendor.

I agree. One time I bought a 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo on ebay and everything was looking exactly the same as the original, but it wasn't a authentic memory card. It stopped working after a few weeks and when I started searching I quickly found out that it was a fake card looking at the serial number. The production date was a date way in the future.
Dude I bought a generic card last week on eBay and it failed the first day I bought it. Then eBay removed the listing for some security reasons so I will be getting my money back. Worst piece of crap I have EVER bought. Took photos and instantly corrupt. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a sandisk. Does the class matter?

Live in France/Netherlands. Tried shipping to europe from US (cheaper with exchange rates but not possible), than UK, in the end they added 15 pounds for shipping. (Micro sd fits in an envelope, why 15 pounds?) Anyway, total is 70 euros.. If anyone had a better suggestions for a sandisk 32 gb card in Europe, please tell me!
Thanks
Edit: many of the reviews on amazon are implying its a knockoff as well. My budget is around 60 euros, for a class 2 or higher sandisk. Should be possible right?

Its very weird, the class 4 is cheaper than the class 2, but it is an offcial one, official package, official speeds (a bit more actually) and a real 32gb card, no ripoff. I think they made a mistake with the pricing and switched the class 2 and the 4

I bought one of the 16GB class 10 Wintec cards off Newegg and it has been really reliable for me. There is a thread about them and some folks had some problems with them, but Wintec is good about replacing them if you do. I have had mine for 2 and a half months and no problems so far. Right now they are on sale for $23.49 + free shipping. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Wintec 16GB c10

I just bought the same one! You can get 10 dollars off (to make it $39.99) if you buy it with a new account. Use the promo code NEWCUSTOMER10. You have to add something small to the order to get it over 50. I went to Newegg gear and added a Newegg wristband, as it was the cheapest item with free shipping.
I wouldn't buy any cards off Ebay. There's as much incentive to sell rigged cards as there is demand for high capacity. My roommate just bought a 32 GB off Ebay and he got lucky. Make sure that the seller offers returns and when you get it immediately run h2testw.
I just have one question for the OP..
Are you feelin lucky?

My wife and I picked up Patriot sd's from Micro Center... I think they were $39 they work pretty awesome. Price wasnt bad at all compared to online prices. it seems like it is luck of the draw on the Generic ebay ones so we stayed away from those.
Fakes are extremely common for flash memory on ebay, especially on any kind of "OMG WHAT A DEAL!" type of things. The fakes are usually a 2GB card that's had a 3 painted on it in front of the 2, and hacked firmware to make it appear to be 32. But when you try to fill it, it won't let you, because it's still just a 2GB card.
Basically, if it's substantially below the going rate from reputable sources (looks to be roughly $60-80), you're going against probably 80-90% odds that you'll get a fake.
I made the mistake of buying one and I can put 32 gb worth in info on there but when I put it in the phone it can't access it.
I wouldn't buy from anyone but a trusted source and right now I wouldn't buy one for less than about $50.00.
In a year or two they'll be going for $25.00, but right now anything that cheap is bound to be a fake that doesn't actually hold anywhere near 32GB.

It's legit, not like the fakes on Ebay. Google it. You will find out the truth. Even if you pay near to the going price, you run the risk of getting a fake. IMHO, it's just not worth the hassle.
