I need a new CF card for my camera, I'd like one that's atleast 64mb, but I've been looking at prices online, and they want an arm and a leg for this stuff now.

I figured somebody might have a spare card layin' around that they might be willing to part with in exchange for some currency.

PM me.

    Just a note from experience, you arnt going to find cheap CF media anywhere, for the simple reasons, it doesnt degrade, it doesnt expire, it doesnt run out and its virtually impossible to break, so 2nd, 3rd or even 4th hand Flash still costs virtually the same as new, for the simple reason, it is the same as new.

    Really though, it shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg, you should easily be able to find some for around $20. 128MB is only about £25 here now.

    What prices have you been looking at, out of interest?

    I've been seeing it at about $1/mb for the low stuff, and around $.5/mb for the stuff over 150mb. That seems way to high to me, but I'm not very good at searching for prices.

    Take this for example.....

    http://www.mx2.co.uk/acatalog/MX2_co_uk_Compact_Flash_Cards_293.html

    64MB is £12.50 (about $18). Damn good prices if you ask me.

    If you cant find anywhere, I can ship some of this to you if you want.
