Ecost rarely puts out a good deal on flash memory. By the time they add on "handling fees" and inflated shipping, the deal is worthless. Reminds me of stores that have "2 for 1" sales after they mark up stuff up 3 times the usual selling price. I have found that buy.com generally offers the best prices for these items. Usually the s&h is free and rebates are good.

Exactly what I'm talking about. How much do you really think this costs to ship? The box and bubble wrap weigh more, if they even use a box. Probably only a padded envelope.
