Geez, I thought I might be doing someone a favor.
thanks for the tip
Ebay is the land of fake memory cards, YMMV
A 98.9% positive rating sounds pretty favorable to me.
The problem is that the price is nothing special. You can get the same or better at Amazon for example, and that is for non-sales. On sale I got mine for $11 with shipping, and sold directly from Amazon.
Yeah, but can you get a Sandisk for $11? From what I have read on this board, Sandisk is the best bet.

Meritline is an awesome site. I order tons of stuff from there (especially their 3 packs of HDMI cables, usually with coupon for 6.99)
But there shipping is quite slow unless you live close to California. or can wait for things to arrive from the Far East. (Hong Kong, Singapore, China)
The other thing is their customer service is top notch!
For just a couple more dollars you can get one from Newegg if you are in a hurry...
I got a class 2, 8 GB card at my local electronics store for $17. Don't waste money/effort getting your hands on a class six because the Hero won't read it at it's native speed.

That is false, and frankly I'm damned sick of hearing that BS repeated over and over. The "class 2" thing comes entirely second-hand from some user who apparently got a note from a random low-level customer service rep saying something to that effect. Well it's not true.

The Hero is fully capable of exceeding the read and write capacities of a Class 2 card. My Hero maxes out at about 2.5 - 3 MB/s writing to the included Class 2 card, but easily reaches 6-8 MB/s using my aftermarket Class 6 card.
Definitely, definitely, definitely get a Class 6 card, whatever size you buy. It's absolutely worth it.
Anyway, NewEgg will ship you an 8GB Class 6 card from the US for $22.95. I'd recommend that instead.
Great find! Thanks!

Assuming you mean the Transcend card, I got it at amazon at roughly the same price after shipping...and I'll +1 that recommendation.

They both contain actual data. If you don't believe my data without some pictures, that's not my problem.

Even if that wer the case (which is not), then you try and buy stuff hard proofing it for the future, so the logical way would be to buy a class six card, which you can use when in the future you dont have a Hero anymore and do have a phone that "supports" class six.
Even less expensive!
Meritline has another brand Class 6 8GB for a dollar less (with shipping)! Only $18.45.

This is not a deal. If you think it's a deal you're new to the internet. I got a SanDisk 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6 for $18 shipped from new egg. Keep your sights on dealnews.com for micro sdhc deals.
On top of that Meritline is good but has insanely cheaply-built knock-offish type stuff. Got my sdhc card reader from them for $0.98 shipped. See what I'm saying here?

His was also Sandisk, that's noteworthy.
I know a lot of people have good luck with Trancend, Adata, etc... but I try my hardest to stick with Kingston or Sandisk for my SD cards.

Well that just make me look foolish.
My point mine was not a deal, it was quite standard pricing; therefore, neither is yours.

no, it's because the seller relisted the item, but he's sold a lot of 'em.
When i bought it, he'd sold at least 12.
You can thank me later
Too bad the shipping charges are very high for International orders!
Not worth it with 22$ shipping, sadly. If shipping was 10 bucks I would... Then again, Class 6 or bust for me!
yeah, didn't know shipping was so high for international, as i paid the 8$ it says there.
A pity, it's a great SD card, so if you're in the US, buy it
has anyone bought from the following seller?

I got 1x16GB and 1X32GB both genuine, and very quick shipping (4-5 days to Belgium). The 32GB already 1 month working very smooth in my Trophy.
Unfortunately every large memory card I have purchased of Ebay has been fake, either 2gb reworked to show as a 32gb but still only holds 2gb or a cheap nasty card classed as Sandisk or such like, Im not saying these are fake but I would use Paypal where available, this at least gives you some protection.

Agreed. Looking at the charge and it doesn't make it worth it at all.
Too bad.. i don understand the language...
I'd like one... though is very expensive for me....XD
BEST place to get extra goodies.
Just purchased a Kingston 4gb class 10 for 17$

ha they had a sale a few months ago, 16bg class 8 for like $28, free shipping. always a great place for a good deal!
I always keep an eye on newegg. I've spent... a LOT of money at newegg haha.

Woot can be quite dangerous, especially combined with the shirt site.

This is a pretty good deal I just found out about last night.

Beware of buying memory cards from sketchy 3rd party Amazon vendors or ebay sellers. Many (maybe most) of these cards are counterfeit and much lower quality than what is advertised.
I've never heard of counterfeits being sold at Radio Shack or Staples.
Divine_Madcat was right, Staples off me $11.
Good deal

I have that one but I get taxed from Newegg so Amazon is usually a much better deal!
Sandisk is great! I have a class 4 16GB and it works great for apps2ext to extend your internal storage of your device to allow installing more apps.
