found a seller for £45 + an 8GB microsd. Is it legit? (not sure if I'm allowed to post link here, if I can I will. )

so far i havent heard of any fake cyclos
but, its possible.

45 (euros right?) is like 60 bucks in US
which is about right for a cyclo
but if that price includes the 8GB microSD (valued at about 40$ USD)
then i think something might be wrong
maybe the cyclo is broken or something

Actually, I got my 8gig MicroSD from FRY'S for $20 bucks + shipping. I'm not saying the deal is legit, but it sounds pretty reasonable, consider it being used.

I agree with matrix you can find an 8GB card for about 20 and also tinymonkeyt it's pounds so it is like $73 USD so its basically the same price.

But remember in the Uk everything is a million times more expensive a cyclods is £35 = $57 and a 8gb microsd is £25 = $41
Total = $98

The fact that I paid the equivalent of $73 is really cheap, including next day shipping!

I'm just comparing it to my first, faulty cyclods, which cost £35. + this is a sandisk 8gb, which are quite expensive, maybe I'm out of touch with things
