Is this 16GB Memory Stick Duo A Fake (Ebay)?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-GENUINE-16GB-Memory-Stick-PRO-HG-Duo-HX-PSP-20MB-s-/300429818288?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Digital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item45f30339b0
i’ve been looking at a lot of questions and stuff on yahoo answers and i was wondering if anyone could identify this as a fake or not because i need a memory card for a trip.
There are a LOT of problems with this auction. First, the name of the seller, it suggests they are in China. What are the shipping charges from China? How long will the shipping take? What method will they use to ship a single memory card? Fed Ex? That’s gonna cost a fortune, yet they offer “FREE SHIPPING” ??? On a 29 dollar item??? That alone should raise a lot of red flags. They will loose the entire cost of the item just from shipping the item to you. Also, as stated before in a previous answer, the seller has ZERO feedback. Yet, if you look at the page, it looks like they have a lot of Ebay experience. This suggests they switch accounts, probably a lot. This is another giant, massive RED FLAG. Next, they sell this “genuine” item for 29 bucks, when the cheapest I could find it from a reputable online dealer known for decent prices (newegg) is well over 70 bucks. That is another giant red flag. Also, in the description, they spell the item as a “SO-NY”, note this is NOT how Sony spells their company name. This is a common tactic from knockoff scammers.
My breakdown of results of this transaction: Chances of you getting any product at all: 1 in 100. Chance of it being “genuine” and exactly what is shown in the picture, and not some cheap Chinese knock off (if you do in fact receive anything at all): 1 in 1,000.
Everything about this smells of a scam. Buy from a reputable dealer.
