The real price for these is over £500 each so PLEASE if your tempted dont be fooled by ebay scams

Yea there prolly fake lass...just like my teeth...seller has sold a few and no complaints though..can't pay for a few days though

radio.raheem - 2011-08-21 17:02

Ok im braindead lol...it turns out any 256gb flash drive costs in the region of £500

 

so i hav cancelled this transaction...how the hell do these things cost so much...it puzzles me...no wonder there are so many scams

walkgirl - 2011-08-21 17:08

A external hardisk is much more cheap

brutus442 - 2011-08-21 17:09

Thanks for the heads up RadioR.

 

My brother put me on to these a few days ago but I never got around to pursuing this. Good thing I didn't

 

I'll put him on to your link, and perhaps avoid another scam victim.

 

BTW I've got a WD terrabyte drive and it's over a year old and no problems and it's toted back and forth to work every day (fingers crossed it stays healthy)

P.S Hmmmm...Dido must be Sony's new curling iron...oooh this conversation's quickley heading for the gutter...! LOL

radio.raheem - 2011-08-21 17:23

Peace brutas...the ones i nearly bought looked ipossible to fake,,,as they had meeters on them..but sure enough i found the fakes....REPEAT any 256gb flash drive costs over £500...stupid i know....some sellers are even selling the fakes for £200 each...check amizon

radio.raheem - 2011-08-24 16:09

If something looks too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
