I just picked up a 32 MB (507 blocks) one from ebay for $6 plus $5 shipping, anyone ever tried to buy one cheap like this? Seller had 20,000+ feedback.
Thanks!

Cheap GC memory card = quickly lost files. It's seriously dicey; wait for a BB/FS F&F sale, and pick up a real Nintendo one. I got the white 1019 card for $30; worth every penny.

Isn't flash memory pretty basic though these days?

I think so, but I've read a lot of horror stories with Mad Catz/Interact/etc brand memory cards, that it isn't worth the risk.

Really? I have one. No issues whatsoever and yes, I did buy it off eBay.
