I paid about 500$ CAD with 2x 128mb cards including shipping/taxes.

i mean i guess thats not bad but how much were the cards they together shouldn't have been more than 100 then another 100 for shipping that doesn't make sense?

I think your site is USD, so you have to factor in the CAD conversion - and the 15% tax. The cards were about 120 for both.

I paid roughly 392.78$ USD for that camera, shipping, 2x 128mb cards, and 15% sales tax - that's the converted rate. Still bad deal?
