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. Cheers |

Always in search of good gadgets __________________________________________________ With regards to 'made in china' : 1)Will it work after first use 2)Is there a warranty
