    It's a marketing trick.

    If you count the ones sold at $8.95 you'll see there's only 20 sold at that price. (11:38pm AEST)
    It's because eBay lists all stock sold since the listing was created, that's why you get 128 sold already.

  Someone put this up the other day… similarly dodgy write speed, and it's not as cool looking as this one, AND it's at Hardly Normal, but: http://www.harveynorman.com.au/toshiba-8gb-usb-flash-drive.h…

  these drives are nice and light and easily fit on a keyring
  however they tend to break easily in pocket over time as it has a plastic head

  Just have to add another comment about the read/write speed. I don't know the specifics but it really isn't worth buying even at half this price. Honestly, I'm not one to be too picky about speed, but this one is painfully slow. Best to avoid. Sorry OP, just sharing my experience as I own this myself.

    I own one too. Had it on my keyring for a year or so and not damaged even though I have a small pocket knife on the same keyring constantly "bashing" it.

    I haven't noticed speed being an issue but I didn't buy it for speed. I got it because it is small enough to be on my keyring without adding too much bulk. Having a slow flash drive handy when you need it is better than having a super fast one sitting where you're not!!! :))

      Why did you have a pocket knife on the keyring?

        For convenience - noting that it is also small enough to be on my keyring without adding too much bulk PS I also have 3 keys, a swipe card and another flash drive - all work related.

  As someone mentioned: the Toshiba 8GB is a better deal.

  I do have 4GB version of this flash drive and can confirm that it is damn slow.

  If you are in Sydney Metro, your delivery will take well over two weeks. That's how long it took my microSD card to arrive. (danilochan might suggest following up with shopping square if it takes that long, but shopping square just respond with a stock "your package was shipped on xx date"

  8GB Toshiba is available at your nearest HN anyway.
