FAKE Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo MagicGate Cards Exposed

Found this very useful eBay site which gives an almost definitive guide to sorting out those fake memory sticks.

How to identify counterfeit Sony Memory Stick PRO & DUO MagicGate Cards

In the above link is a stringent list of Certified Genuine & Authentic sellers for peace of mind purchase of flash and computer memories on eBay:-

1800memory
aussieram
memory-r-us
nachy1818
techinfiniti
wane25

The list is open to all genuine sellers to join. The list will slowly grow as more genuine & authentic sellers are being identified through our restrictive verification process.

Since October-2006, eBay has decided all sellers could no longer hide their BAD feedbacks. Simply enter seller's eBay ID and watch for Negative/Neutral feedbacks wordings such as 'fake' and 'counterfeit' before buying at http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs

Millions of eBayers have been deceived by inferior quality, unpopular cheap MS disguised as Sony Memory Stick PRO DUO as more than 98% of all 1GB, 2GB and 4GB MS listed on eBay are counterfeit items and many have fake capacities.

Since many have not seen genuine production Sony unit and counterfeit is now made to appear like 90% genuine, it is indeed difficult for most people to tell them apart. From the pictures submitted by eBayers all over the world, we are exposing the physical difference in the counterfeit which you can benefit from whether you intend to purchase one or make comparison with your own. Beware of sellers that are using original Sony web download pictures to sell counterfeit Sony as they do not represent the actual item that you will receive!

This article covers :

Sony PRO 1GB (MSX-1GS) and 2GB (MSX-2GS), PRO DUO 1GB (MSX-M1GS), 2GB (MSX-M2GS) and 4GB (MSX-M4GS), Hi-Speed PRO DUO 1GB (MSX-M1GN), 2GB (MSX-M2GN) and 4GB (MSX-M4GN) models.
