If they do local pick up then go for it, thats what i would of done also

Yeah - just email the person and say you'll do local pickup. Shouldn't be a problem.

I've been buying stuff on ebay since 2001 - I use half.com for books and ebay for other items - like a 2GB memory card for my camera, ear plugs, you name it. Never yet encountered a problem - fingers crossed!

Those I wouldn't recommend getting on Ebay. There are a LOT of fake ones out there.

I got the real thing as far as I know - used it in Miami, Montreal, etc. and it's been fine....obviously, you take risks with what you buy on ebay but I preferred the $50 price tag to the $100+ one elsewhere.

If it were a fake, what would I be looking for?

Seems to only happen with the "memorysticks pro duos" that Sony and Sandisk make.

Kewl - I have a Kodak flat memory card so that shouldn't apply but, regardless, it's worked wonderfully. Now I just need an extra battery for the Festival and I'll be golden.
