USB Pen Drives - low capacity?   
Looking to buy several small capacity pen drives (16 - 64MB) usb 1.1 or
2.0, doesnt matter.  Just have to be cheap.  I use Ebuyer for 128MB or
greater capacity.  Anywhere else doing bargains on lower capacity pen
drives?

Morgan were (possibly still are) doing a fairly good bundle deal on (was it
ten or twelve) low-capacity Belkin drives for quite a good price. In
passing, I picked up a single 64 meg one recently, costing me something
under a fiver. The surprising thing was that I actually found a worthwhile
bargain at Morgan - it's been years since that's happened.

Always worth having a look on Ebay for that kind of stuff.

True but filtering out all the crap from HK (due to "shipping" costs) is the 
difficult bit.  Ticking the "items in the UK only" box does diddlesquat.

I agree there, my trick is to start by looking at the photos, if they 
look too slick you know it's a trader. ;-)

 Ticking the "items in the UK only" box does diddlesquat.


Try also filtering by distance i.e. maximum of 300 miles - that helps
a bit as these foreign traders don't usually supply a false postcode.
