    Have a look through the Computing/Drives/Storage section and you will see 2GB drives for $50, that's €39.40 in real money!!! It's FREE shiping too. Power seller, with almost 30,000 sales behind him.

    Aye, tis duty. Just like if you were an American buying stuff in ireland, you wouldnt have to pay the duty either.

    Shop4memory have a large selection of USB flash drives, Irish company based in Kildare (I think) and free shipping, no customs to worry about.

    I think these guys are the cheapest and best considering they are a shop in the UK, I've had nothing but bad experiences with eBay sellers from Hong Kong and China, not worth the wait and €5 saving.

    According to the weekly alert from komplett.ie - from next Monday the Corsair Flash Voyager 2048MB USB2.0 13/19MB sec writing and reading speed.

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=306472

    Will drop to €36, add €12 for AnPost delivery and it's not too shoddy for 2GB.

    Alert is here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054971320

    Got mine today, it's nice, Samsung branded, looks much better than the komplett one:)

    Also got a USB lead for my printer for 99p, Dixons wanted €25 for the same thing.

    Reasonably fast delivery also, had both items within a week or so.

    Recommended.
