Go to ebay and search for '16mb usb pen drive'. You'll get a boatload of 'em. The one I just bought was the PingTec one with the squared off design.
Looks like a single operator - the mfr - is selling under several different names. And the $1.99 price is pure BS. They have $9.95 shipping (no qty discounts) plus a mandatory $1 insurance charge. Since they use USPS priority mail they are obviously padding their so-called sale price. Makes the price $12.94, which is still reasonable. Asked the buyer what price he'd quote me for 12 units. His response was $14. Must have figured I couldn't add or something. -------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 9:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Storing Credit Card Info Matt, Did you have a URL for the guy you mentioned below? -Novak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 1:24 PM Subject: RE: Storing Credit Card Info > I second Stan's comments.
