Thought you all would find this interesting, if not instructive.

    stuff like this has been floating around ebay for a few years now. Chinese sellers would sell bogus flash drives for insanely cheap prices. like a 16gb, 32gb drive or card that is really 1 or 2gb. Thing is that the flash is programed to show the advertised capacity but really isnt. Its really screwed when you see hundreds of listings showing "78 sold or 90 sold". Its really sad.

    Never buy flash products from Chinese sellers on ebay.
