Don't you just love it when you get a GREAT deal on Ebay?!
I hadn't really planned on buying anything, but I was thinking that I didn't really want to haul my laptop with me to California in October just to copy images from my camera to the PC (I only have two 128MB memory cards for my camera). So I figured I'd go out and check to see how much 1GB Memory Sticks were going for. Well, it just so happened that someone listed three 1GB cards that were ending pretty soon and they were around $20 at that time. I checked circuit city and they were over $129 there. Well I checked them again right before they ended and they were only at 30 something. So I waited a little longer and decided to bid $45 on them. So I did on the first one... got overbid... bid on the 2nd one, got overbid... bid on the 3rd one... AND WON!!!
I checked the 2 I didn't win and they went for around $63 plus shipping... I got that 3rd one for $45! Then I went and bought 4 new Sony rechargeable batteries so that I can take TONS of pictures.
Of course now I'm watching new Sony cameras! I think I should probably stop while I'm ahead though.
Anyway, just thought I'd share my Ebay Sharpshooter moment of the night!
