SB cards and CD-Roms will be flooded on Ebay, meaning that not much profit you will get.

jimmyhaha, your mailbox is going to get pwned.
Xclan, don't wory, this is Amazon.com, we can always file a class action lawsuit on them.

My advice:
If somehow the market price is really really low, you can always sell them out in bulk and hope someone will bail you out. But how can you lose? 32/20 = $1.6 for one Sound Blaster Live.

My understanding of the UPS system is that the package weight is provided by the sender, and is verified later through scanning and package handling. Thus, if the product was mis-sku'ed it would stand to reason UPS would also be sent the improper package data. Many of you may have noticed this in the dell deals where the manifests incorrectly reflected three packages when in reality it was one or two.

This does not rule out the possibility of you receiving 20 cards, mind you. I suspect you're going to only receive one though.

Good luck.

Yeah, it's happened to me twice before at Amazon. Beware when ordering anything that's "xxPK." I'm almost certain it's always just one (1) unit and not a bulk package as it states. The product page also says it's sold by Office Depot now. I wonder why a retail store like OD would sell 20-packs of OEM cards.

The bright side (if there is one) is that a lot of people got in on this, the price is now $795.95, and Amazon has still not fixed it yet. They are going to have to answer a massive amount of complaints.

BTW, you can always dispute with your CC.

EDIT: I am sure it is just one card that they're sending at this time.

Just got my shipment confirmation from UPS and it says .90 lbs...

Does that sound right for one card + box + packing? That seems way too light, though I could be wrong... *sigh*

my is .9lb, those bastards!!! they charged me 30 bucks for shipping 1 soundcard on one day shipping? i dont fvcking think so, by the rates listed on their site, one day shipping for computer products less than a pound should be around $18, so they acutally charged me the shipping price for 20 of them. so im gonna raise hell with them, ask them how the fvck is it suppose to be 1 card only when you charged me the shipping price for 20.

Save all your info...you're probably going to be the one we're all going to have to get behind to show that Amazon deliberately deceived customers.

That is if we're right and it's only one card...
