Even thought some guys know the unit price about 1GB throught the Internet, But, It is not fix yet. And you can contact me anytime if you want. because we are selling the above products to oversea customers.

I emailed this guy - and got this response;

QUOTE
Dear, Sir

Thank you for your concern
Even thought some guys know the unit price throught Korean market, it was a misinformation.
As you know, there are so many difficult factors to make 1G items like a yield, a technical issue and so on,.
So, actually the scope of the unit price is as follows;

1GB mini-SD
- Under 10ea: US $ 135 (approx £73)
- From 10 to 100ea:  US $ 129
- From 100 to 1K:   US $ 125
- Over 1K:  US $ 119

1GB RS-MMC
- Under 10ea:  US $ 135
- From 10 to 100ea:  US $ 127
- From 100 to 1K:   US $ 123
- Over 1K:  US $ 118

In mini-SD case, you can get a sample anytime and we can send it after one day from check
your receipt of money. But, In RS-MMC case, we can send next week(maybe Friday)
because we have no stock.

English version of Our homepage is under construction, will be finished until this weekend.
You can get some information from next Monday.

If you have any other questions, please contact me anytime.

Thanks/Richard


I've asked him if you can order from the english website - and am waiting for a response.
I'll post any further info if and when I get it.

Pip Pip !

Yeah, I got the same "form letter" response

Anyone interested in grouping together to get a discount?
10 of us saves us each $6 which *might* cover postage

He told me:
QUOTE
If you want to get a sample, please inform me and then, I will send an Invoice.


I've asked for an invoice for 1, so that I can get payment details and see if I can check them out. I'm guessing that there's no hope of my moeny back if it turns out to be a fraud.

Delivery: Within 7 days after receipt of payment (note: doesn't specify for overseas delivery)
Payment: T/T in advance
Company information:  
 Name: Teravit Co. Ltd.
 Address: #818 Kyunghee Venture Centre, Yongin, Kyeonggi-Do, 449-701 Korea
Bank information:

 Payable address: 995-2, Yeongtong-dong, Paladal-Gu, Suwon-City, Korea

I have no idea how to check these people out!

Those addresses sound like the names of childrens TV characters more than place names to me, well "Yeong Tong Dong" might be an adult entertainer I suppose... anyways...

If anyone knows how to check these people out I'd love to hear... maybe there are some Korean users on the forum?
Paul is asking the MoDaCo Shop people whether they will order some, so it's worth hanging on a bit to get the answer to that first I think.

Hold your horses everybody please :roll:

We work directly with 2 of some of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, I have asked for some information on the supplier along with the question as to why SanDisk and Kingmax have not yet launched a 1GB product, I am waiting to hear back and will let you all know as soon as possible, incidently SanDisk will launch a 512MB this month for those of you who prefer the SanDisk brand.

Please be very careful when buying anything outside of the UK, there are many things to consider when parting with your hard earned cash :wink:

When 1GB cards are available rest assured Shop MoDaCo will have them to sell to you in abundance.

Well I sure wish you were there when those nice Nigerians asked for my bank account details so I could help them make us all incredibly rich.
Can you help me across the road now, sonny ?

All joking aside, I'm sure we're all experienced enough now to weigh up the pro's and con's of buying things from abroad, using the shopping horror that is the tinternet - anyone ever shopped on eBay ?

Not wanting to be a kill-joy or anything guy's but these companies and manufacturers are not really interested in selling one off's or single units, they are looking for volume purchasers/orders, even distribution deals with large quantity's smile.gif

I've had a pro-forma invoice for 3 x 1Gb miniSD cards, so why would you assume that they don't want to sell small quantities?

At the moment none of us know the company, and it could turn out to be nothing (or nothing we want to get involved in!) which is why we're being careful.

I appreciate that the Shop is only trying to protect it's interests, but news that SanDisk are bringing out 512Mb cards isn't much use to those of us that want 1Gb!

Thank you for your email.
 
1. Please be informed that the account number, Company Name, Address and  Tel. mentioned in your email are correct. I cannot tell you whether Fax. and Mobile Phone are correct or not because our bank doesn't have the information on Fax. and Mobile Phone.
 
2. The following information is required in order to transfer money to a KEB account from your bank.
 
Bank Name : Korea Exchange Bank

Frankly quite appalled by some of you folks' comment specifically regarding the Korean names. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out Korean is different from English and It may comes as a surprise to some of you that it may not sound like English names.

Now, regarding the vendor's trustworthiness, I have not dealt directly with these folks, but I am trying to see some of my mates who are over there for work to check them out. One friend who reads Korean told me that vendor in Korean webpage has a e-store that is not directly them, but a distributor, who looks pretty legit. Hopefully, my friend can get back to me regarding this vendor/distributor. He also told me, from the distributor's site, it works out about $170 USD for one 1GB miniSD, so with taxes and delivery, you are probably looking at over $220 USD. I will update you if I hear back from my friend. With holidays approaching, he told me not to expect any info until month or two, since has pre-holiday work deadlines.
