Does anybody know where can i get a 128mb memory stick for cheap? Also, the memory sticks don't have to be Sony right?

Check Ebay out. They are selling anywhere from $30-$50 apiece. I just sold 3 for $39.00 each (had to help pay for my 1gb MS Pro somehow:D ).

Hey, you never know...you might get some good files, songs or programs with it :D. You all remember when the CIA sold off some 100 old laptops and realized they forgot to clear all the information off of them....:eek:

I got a brand new in box Lexar Memory Stick yestarday on E-Bay for $47.00 including shipping, I have always found great deals like that on E-bay. Best buy is also currently selling 128 MB Sony Memory sticks for $69.99 each. The prices are very affordable now, this will be my 3rd 128 MB stick, 1 for the camera, one for applications on my clie, and the 3rd will be for MP-3's, videos, and multi-media. The 16MB stick that came with the camera is now strictly for the Data Backup. Now I need to get a memory stick case :)

Here is 29.99 from tigerdirect.com if you feel like risking the rebate. I got a couple 64 meg cards from them and I'm pretty sure the rebate went through ok (my friend did the transaction, he hasn't complained that he needs more money from me, so I'm guessing it went through)

They have both the solid purple and the clear purple for the same price.

Check out the thread about converting star wars, someone on there picked one up for $30.

Tantousha: CIA laptops? lol, I've got that beat, once i bought two surplus laptops from a junk electronics dealer, one of them had a small metal serial number sticker on it that said, and I swear to this I still have the plate: United States Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command.

Talk about cool. There was no data on it but the little plate was pretty cool and there was a warning from the DOD when I booted the laptop. Well long story...longer, I put the laptop up for sale on a classifieds page (this was before eBay) and within two days a gentleman from DCIS (Defense Criminal Investigative Services) was on my case about where the thing came from and all that jazz. Yeah except for the last part it was all really fun.
