What's up with the jump in USB prices?

Howlingwolf101

I haven't been here for a couple months so I might have missed something but what's up with the price of the SanDisk Ultra 128GB USB 3.0 (link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-128gb-usb-3-0-flash-drive-black/9044257.p?skuId=9044257) It's $120! I bought it for $30 back in March. Why the 4x increase in price? Anyone know?

You know how it is, the cow goes "moo", the dog goes "woof" and the gamer goes "The PvP is unbalanced."

No. Don't quote site that sells overpriced stuff. If by that rate GTX 1080 will cost the same as XP in SLI

Back to school maybe?

 

idk, if it helps, they have a price match guarantee if you'd still want to buy from them

and some places will beat it by a certain percentage of the difference too, so situations like this are awesome for teaching them a lesson for being stupid :D 

 

Say they're selling it for $120, and another site has it for $30.  If they match and beat it by 5% (for example) you could get it for like $25.50 :)

 

(Though to be honest I don't think Best Buy does the difference beating)

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
