Sony USB2 memory sticks
I apologise for what may be a somewhat OT post, but it seems to me
that this NG would be most well informed about it. Sony Micro Vault USB 2.0 memory sticks are being widely offered at online auction sites in India. One seller is offering a 256MB stick for the equiv of US$25 all-inclusive. One prospective buyer sent an enquiry (to another seller) with a comment that he'd heard about some people complaining that the formatted capacity is only half of the stated value. My questions are : 1) Is the stated price at the "it can't be genuine" level ? 2) Has anyone heard of a flood of non-genuine Sony Micro Vault sticks ? I believe these things do happen - imitation products or factory-rejects being re-introduced into the market by unscrupulous parties. |

I recently bought a 256mb Disgo for 19GBP (including postage) and it is fine so, yes, there are some bargains around. Keith Willcocks (remove .nospam from address to reply) |
