Amazon.com: Spot the Difference

[jumpman17]

Okay, I'm confused, can anyone tell me what the difference is between these?

Kingston 1GB Micro SD ($19.30)
Kingston 1GB Micro SD ($18.60)

as well as

SanDisk 1GB Micro SD ($41.61)
SanDisk 1GB Micro SD ($18.75)

For the Kingston cards, the model numbers are SDC-1GBFE for the slightly more expensive. SDC-1GB for the less. No idea if there is any different. Could just be updated packaging for all we know. :/

For the lower priced SanDisk card.
"This item is "Bulk" packaged. Comes with Protective Plastic Case only (No retail packaging). No additional documentation is included. Full 1 year USA warranty"
If that's the ONLY difference, then that is one hell of a price difference for packaging.

Buy the Sandisk Bulk. I would be doing that right now if I was a US resident.

Yea, the sandisk are different, because the $41 card is sold directly by amazon. The cheaper card is being selled through amazon by a proxy company.

This is booked marked.

Also, why would another company be selling this at a _much_ lower price?

The $40 SanDisk has free shipping, while the $18 one has additional fees, $4.40 per item + $7 per shipment (the first item isn't included in the "per shipment", for some reason). That adds up to $30. Plus, the more expensive one comes in the retail box, probably with the little card-holder box too, and the cheaper one was purchased in bulk, and only comes in a bag (if you're lucky).

i hear sandisk cards are crap (slow loading speeds). if you're gonna get a miniSD, get kingston.
