16GB flash Drive

Declan Carey

Been looking for one online and cheapest I can find is 23-25euro.

Anyone have any cheaper options?

about 18/19E tho tbh if your 23-25 is local, not a bad price

True, £12.99 plus £2.95 shipping to UK, about 19E. Will ship elsewhere but contact seller first. Generally a lot more and not worth it. I find it generally better on ebay to look for free shipping, at least you can see upfront what the price is (found this out to my cost!)

Sorry, did mean to add that buying these things from unknown sources can be problematic. They can be hacked to make a smaller drive, say 2/4/8gb, for example, look like a 16gb. Only when you start getting near the 2/4/8gb capacity that you run into problems. Hence my comment on buying local if the 23E is a local (genuine) product. (Also speaking from personal experience, ebay-wise:()

Pixmania having a nightmare lately, was refusing my credit card because they were having issues processing orders, which in turn caused by bank to put a flag on my card and block use of it due to all the Pixmania rejections. Farce!

I think the OP was talking about an online one. But yeah, generally I try to avoid ebay as much as I can.

Have you tried calling the bank and getting the flag removed. That happened to me when I was trying to get online topups with O2. Quick call to the bank and they removed everything.

Agree with that. But the line between online and local seems to be getting blurred. I buy from elara and komplett online and collect "locally". I get online prices and nearly immediate pickup. Best of both worlds, kind of.
