The above link is to an auction on ebay: a 2.2GB card for only $69. Seems to good to be true, surely there is something wrong with it that I am missing. The seller has a really good rating too.

Some people rob trucks. Some people get a shipment from a 'friend' in another country who rob trucks. He has 99 of them available...so maybe they're just stolen or something. I should buy one though for $70 shoot.

Stay away. This is a microdrive, not a solid state memory based CF card. The Magicstor drives are not of great quality and have relatively poor reliability. Reads/writes will be slower than a decent CF card as well. They're cheap for a reason.

They have the same card here for $63.

These magicstor cards are well known for only working with certain cameras and i believe are slow compared to compact flash cards.

yeah... I had one, didn't work properly.

OK maybe I won't buy one.

Thanks for the warning. I guess it's still true that you get what you pay for.
