Hi,

Yesterday i notice a PCMCIA adaptor card for $9.95 on their steal of the day with a shipping to WA for $14.

But today when the price up to $19.95 the shipping is down to $7.55

I think we need to watch out on this….. Well it's not un common for seller to do this trick especially on Ebay.

Thanks for the head up. Yes you still save $3 but I agree it is a bit dodgy for jacking up the postage to make it looks like a good deal.

Likewise thanks for the tip on this - really is stupid marketing - so who's stealing from who

love their faq which says
