HOT! - 512MB Compact Flash memory card $88 after rebate

[Illini2003]

simpletech 512MB compact flash memory card is available for $130, add $8 for ground shipping or $10 for 2-day shipping. And a $50 mail-in rebate is available.

A very good review of this card says it's within the top 5 and beats out some ultra cards like the SanDisk Ultra and the Lexar Pro 16x in both read and write performance.

Great find!

Be careful, the rebate must be post marked within 10 days of purchase and not receipt. This is probably calendar days and not business days.

Good card. I bought one for a little bit more just a month ago. However it does NOT outperform the Sandisk Ultra nor many of the other 'ultra' like cf cards.

Its a shade faster than a Viking and much faster than Sandisk's 'regular' cf card. However on anything but a PRO DSLR, you will NOT see a difference in WRITE speed.

Be careful of the rebate with this one. It goes to one of the not so great rebate centers and they will deny it if it is postmarked past the 10 days. I had a rebate from dell and dell didn't ship it as promised. I called dell and they said it wouldn't be a problem if the rebate went in past the 10 day mark. I sent it in about 15 days after I bought it and it got rejected. Called dell and they tried to push me off but they eventually gave me the credit.

Ebay has the 512MB Sandisk Ultra for about $100. This is obviously no rebates. Some even went for 80-100, there's massive outflow of supplies from that dell deal so ebay's not a bad place to pick one up if you guys are interested.

Wow, I sold all of mine for at least $115 plus another $10 for shipping and handling, insurance.

This is pretty hot, I think..

Note, however, that PC Connection carries two SimpleTech 512MB cards:
$129.95 Type II card link
$141.00 Type I card link
Shipping is $8

If you want/need the Type I card you can get it for $148, shipped, from SimpleTech themselves. CDW advertises it for $141 with Penny shipping, but I don't see any mention of 1c shipping on their site..
