I just picked up a 128GB PNY Micro SD card for USD 39.99 + Shipping - way cheaper than anything local - even PB Tech's sale prices.
128GB PNY microSD card on Amazon
other capacities too.
cheers

Dreal: Says $49.99, which is USD, which at current currency conversion (super bad at this very instant, .1 down from a week ago), isn't great. Plus shipping?
That actually seems bad. Am I wrong? I've got in my own store 64 GB UHS-1 for 40 bucks nzd roughly. I work that out, above, product referenced to be above 100 NZD! Probably 110 (20 dollars per 32, that's 60-70 for the last 64. I think local stores in abundance will beat that, probably by 20 or so). Seems bad not good. All respect to premium brand PNY, but that is not pricewise a good deal IMO. Check pricespy or priceme and USD to NZD conversion rates.

loceff13: ^^Well those 128GB cards we are talking about have significantly lower read/write speeds than the lower capacity(16/32GB) models so it's entirely possible it's just cheaper memory/downgraded etc. PNY have often been the cheapest in that space for consumer use for a fair while.

They're fake.
Some obvious signs:
Labeled MicroSDHC instead of MicroSDXC (SDHC is max 32GB, the manufacturers print everything but the capacity on the card and then print different numbers).
Sellers have messages saying that the actual capacity of the card may vary - that simply just isn't a thing.
Sellers sell 256GB cards - 256GB cards aren't a thing.
Sellers sell 256GB cards only 50% more than 128GB, they should be getting more expensive per GB not cheaper.
Sellers have bad feedback stating that the card only works up to 8 or so GB.
They also all have the same packaging and look - generally if something looks the same they are the same.
The cards will work to a given capacity since they are a real card, but buyers won't realize until a while down the road so they get positive feedback for them.
If you run H2testw on them it will show real capacity of them.
Perhaps you could buy a real 128GB card for ~$50 but I doubt your going to buy a real one in NZ for $50 new from a seller.
