+starbox189 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I recently bought a "new , unopened" 2GB MicroSD SanDisk card from Digital Media Outlet on e-Bay. I paid around $90. The memory card was mailed to me only in it's plastic case. It was not packaged in sealed retail packaging from SanDisk as you would expect. I'm wodering if it was used. Has anyone else bought a 2GB MicroSD card from Digital Media Outlet, and if so, did it come in just the plastic case? Are they a legitimate retailer? Quote Link to comment
vetteb_96 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I just purchased a 1GB SD micro card from them. It's in the mail, I'll let you know what I receive. I'm assuming it's going to come in the original package unopened. Quote Link to comment

+starbox189 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 I tried the MicroSD card out anyway. It appears to perform perfectly. I own a Garmin 60CSx. I live in the NE. I was able to download all of the lower 48 from CN V8; the northeast region of BlueChart; the northeast region of Garmin TOPO and Garmin TOPO 24K. Incidently, even though it is a 2GB card, it's actual capacity is 1.89GB. Regarding DigitalMediaOutlet, I don't know what to think. They have a peculiar website that can only be accessed via Google search or e-Bay. The web address is https://ssl101.webhosting.optonline.net/dig...erchantmanager/ Check it out and see what you think. Evidently I got a "bulk" memory card. I e-mailed SanDisk about them. All SanDisk came back with was "We're sorry but we are unable to help you". Go figure!! Quote Link to comment
+rstickle Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) I guess as long as it works you are OK. I do wonder what they mean by "bulk"? It seems like a good price though. Rick Edited October 4, 2006 by rstickle Quote Link to comment

Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 It is their way to save you money, bulk versus Retail packaging: https://ssl101.webhosting.optonline.net/dig...ation.php?pId=5 Maybe they can get away with this, since a MicroSD memory card is such a tiny object, and the packaging is so big anyway.

I don't think anyone other than sandisk makes microSD cards, esp in the 2gig size, so I wouldn't worry that you got a fake. And since the 2gig cards are so new I wouldn't worry about it being used either. Quote Link to comment
vetteb_96 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Received mine in the mail today. Looks like the real thing. It in a sealed plastic package... Quote Link to comment
