Theo16 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I just purchased my first a6000 and I chose the SanDisk SDXC 64GB memory card. Best Buy rang the card up at $134.99 and it’s the same price on the SanDisk site. I noticed the same, or what I think is the same card at Target Andrea walmart for $39.99. Best Buy matched the price, but am I missing something? Why is this card so expensive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 ` Card prices vary insanely wildly. I just bought a coupla SanDisk128gb XC's [write speed of 90mps] at $60 each. Best Buy has such discrepencies evident on the display rack if you walk in. At any time, a given card, and some other card of the exact same spec and brand will be about $50 apart in price. The only difference will be SanDisk has updated the packaging or model name, but a careful reading of the verrrry fine print on the back of the package shows the cards are exactly the same ! My best guess is that the inventory system automatically clearance prices the older SKU number because, being superceded, it will no longer be replenished or re-ordered. But the newer SKU number represents only a newer model name or packaging and NOT any real difference in the product. Friendly advice: When shopping cards online forget BestBuy or SanDisk direct. You won't ever beat Adorama or B&H Photo-Video. Off Line [walk in] one may find great deals on the rack at BestBuy ... but these deals apparently are not reflected by their online listings :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
