Gong Xi Fa Cai! To celebrate Chinese New Year, today, Tuesday February 5 in 2019, various retailers in Asia, including the western-facing retailers (those that are setup/organized to ship products world-wide) are having various sales, including GearBest and Ali Express. Look also for Valentine’s specials, and for limited time coupons or free or faster shipping upgrades…

200GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC for 36 euro or $38

Memory card prices are on the downward trend, which brings us to the new condition 200GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC memory card (A1, U1, C10, with adapter) going for 36 euro at Amazon Germany in your choice of Frustration free packaging or standard packaging, with up to five per option per customer at the sale price. They are on different listings at the moment.

But this is also sale at Amazon USA where it goes for $38 with free shipping. You can buy as many as you like at this price.

These are organic or manufacturer-initiated sales, they are not lightning deals, so expiration time is unknown (to me)…

We’ve certainly come a long way in storage prices. I remember paying more for Smartmedia memory card a few camera cycles ago ^_^
