[REQUEST] 1gig PRO DUO Memory sticks..

[nicK]

komplett stock them for around 130euro..
in the u.s they're going for around 120dollers, amazon were doing them for 99dollers at one stage..
i'm wondering if anybody knows where to find them any cheaper than komplett? (websites that ship to ireland, reliable ebay dealers?)

136 delivered from here. Not much of a difference so you may well do better elsewhere but the free delivery should take them under the komplett price when delivery comes into play (133 plus about a tenner IIRC). Probably faster too in my limited experience of both vendors.

lots on ebay under 115 delivered.

Got two recently off of Ebay, with lightning fast delivery, almost as quick as Komplett DHL. So definately the way to go when you consider the price difference. Been playing Mercury ever since

Some Asian sellers with prices that make it come out at €78 incl del on eBay earlier. Usual low buy it now price and high piostage/insurance costs. Sandisk, in sealed packages...

Any names of sellers who sell at that price?(or are you excluding insurance which they all require). Theres way too many asian sellers with cheap buy it now prices and huge postage and insurance. They have infested ebay when your searching for anything to do with psps and some of them even say uk seller in there title when there in hong kong. Where abouts do you search ebay.ie,.co.uk , .com? Searching on .ie now, and 90% of the cards are over 78 euros before postage and the ones that arent have huge postage. Im searching "1gb memory pro duo" . Any names would be great

Yeah seems that seller has sold out (not surprising at that price). Best I can get now is another HK seller with £24.99 buy it now, and £31 postage inc insurance. That's £56 in total which is just over €80.

He seems to have a good few with no bids, which start at 14.99; if you choose the right time to bid you could get it for around 20 I reckon.
Only reason these guys are doing the high postage thing is to avoid eBay fees...
Not sure if you'd get caught for VAT on these...depends on delivery method I suppose...


[edit] :rolleyes: yeah he has only Pro not Duo in 1GB size...

Got Sony high speed 1gb from a seller on Ebay for 145e, when it arrived it wasn't working but was able to send it back and within a week he replaced it, no hassel at all. Reaaly quick transfer speed and worth the few extra quid. Will give you his contact page if you want it.

I always send an email asking if they will mark the customs slip as a gift of low value, only been refused twice, by what looked like "proper" companies, i.e. big dealers from bricks & mortar shops who may have thought I was an inspector.
