eBargain
On Monday I took delivery of a shiny new High Speed Sony 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo for my phone (so I can listen to loads of music while In Fact, Ah are traversing GERMANY at the WORLD CUP).
I had very nearly ordered this item from a long-standing and price-popular online electronics retailer when I decided to take a look on ebay. For this item (brand new with virgin packaging) on ebay I was looking at 40-50 Eurodollars including delivery. I could get it from reputable Hong Kong ebayers at close to 40 Euros including delivery, but plumped for a seller in Wales at around the 50 Eurobucks mark, including delivery.
These sorts of items are readily available on ebay via "Buy It Now" (as I did) rather than going through an auction, thus the sellers aren't doing this once off, they have a supply of these items.
Am I funding the Hong Kong Triads or some Death Squad in the Valleys with this sort of purchase, or can someone explain the price differential with standalone online retailers?
I'm talking about identical specs in terms of read/write speeds etc, not just the same capacity. Dabs.co.uk: 170 Eurodollars not including delivery. Komplett.ie 100 Eurodollars for a 1GB card not including delivery, they don't have 'em in 2GB at the mo.
