cheep sd cards??

[dj.GETAFIX]

i want to upgrade to an 8 or 16 gig sd card and was looking at e-bay for prices:
they seem verry cheep and this worrys me a lot. obviously i wouldent buy from a seller unless they had a high rateing so i could trust them, and i definatly wouldent touch an unbrandied make, but what about kingston or sandisk???....
is there makers i should stay away from and makers you would recomend???
has anybody had a sd card from ebay and what was the result???
iv firmly belive you get what you pay for quality wise but also that you can get a better deal if you look around and youse your head

I would stay away from eBay, have a look on 7DayShop.com I bought a Toshiba 16GB Class 2 from there a couple of weeks ago for

Ebay: Just say no!

+1 for 7dayshop and play.com

Amazon can be pretty competitive too. Also try memorybits.co.uk

I bought a class 6 card from an online computer shop, and it doesn't perform anywhere near promised. So I think it isn't just eBay...

Also, watch Amazon & Play, as a lot of stuff is sold by third parties, so the FAKE warning still applies... Look for ones "In stock and sold by Amazon.co.uk/Play.com"

id recomend play.com thats where i got mine from. did originally buy a "32gb class 4 sandisk" from ebay, it ended up being a class 2 fake.
