You get what you pay for. It's that simple.

If these prices were correct, assuming they could get an even better price buying in mass quanitities, why wouldn't someone like Future Shop/ Circuit City have prices in this range? They would be more efficient than any of us in importing the goods...

Hi Guys,

I don't think it is a scam as the prices seem very Normal to me as we called the "factory" price. You can get a 128mb usb memory in any retail computer outlet in HK for US$25-28.00.

You get (if you actually get it) what you pay for is all I can say.

FYI, I searched the business pages here in Hong Kong and can't find a company by that name.

Here is the website: www.yp.com.hk

When they mentioned payment via T/T and not an LOC, it may be a scam!

I know a lot of people in Asia. Beware what you get. If you want a little more background I can check into the company. What is it your friend does to merit this email? Sounds like a scam, if you ask me.

Shop around for electronics in China and even thought they might be cheaper, it is still not nearly as cheap as these prices.

With regards to 'made in china' :

1)Will it work after first use
2)Is there a warranty
