I smell a scam.
Now why would you say that? Newegg (the most highly regarded vendor on these forums) moves prices up and down ALL of the time, and no one calls it a scam. These are decent disks for the price (whether 12.99 or 15.99).
i wouldntsay decent,they are ofaverage quality meaning it is easily scratched and it has reading problems after 3gb. i've burned quite a bit of coaster, at least 5 out of 10. if you call that decent. some call it garbage grade d, lmao.
to sell low quality media for more then it's worth is silly at best. i thought they were alright but after burning 50 and having 25 to play frisbees proves that i was wrong about media quality.

4TH CLASS MEDIA
Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate:
CMC, CMCMAG = CMC Magnetics (Taiwan) = (-R)
PIODATA, PIO = LeadData, Ritek = (-R) ... once sold as "Pioneer" but that's false
Fake TYG02, SONY, MXL = Fake Sony/Maxell from Hong Kong OEM (Infosmart) = (-R)
OPTODISC = Optodisc = (+R)(+RW)
AN31, AN32, ANWELL, AN30, AML = Hong Kong OEM (Infosmart) = (-R)
INFOSMART = Hong Kong OEM = (-R)(+R)
DAXON = BenQ/Acer (+R)(-R)
VANGUARD = Unknown OEM = (-R)
YIJHAN = Hong Kong OEM = (-R)
MATRIX = Hong Kong OEM = (-R)
ISO001 = Unknown OEM = (+R)
VDSPMS = Unknown OEM = (-R)(+R)
LONGTEN = Hong Kong OEM = (-R)
first of all i don't like silver disc, they're plain laquer, meaning it's basic coating meant for casual use like if your dog ate it or a kid ran over it, who cares? the white printable disc are harder to make, easier to write and often have better quality writing due to its reflective coating. silver=see through, it's a miss and hit burn. quality greatly degrades on the outer layers that are closer to the leadout.
fyi, I never get a chance to try +r for 12.99 that crap shoot up back to 27.99 the same day I saw this post! it's a bait and switch crap
this pisses me off because +r is just a format and shouldn't cost more. it isn't better quality either or have better compatible. btw, i see thetechgeek employees or it's affiliates trying to lure in users to buy their undergraded media at slightly discounted price.
ifyouthink 15.99 for100 is a steal, it's not. everyone get this intheir email already if you subscribe to their mailinglist!
