Discount USB drives from 64MB

Typical final result: 

Thanks for the reminder; I forwarded your quote to the keepers of the cash. However, it looks bad as they were looking for a surplus USB bargain. We are all shocked at the high prices we have been quoted for what we considered “obsolete” (64MB) USB products.

 If you can help us locate product an order of magnitude cheaper, we would be grateful

The flip side (eg: dark side): 
Where do Sellers Get Fake Flash Drives In North America?

The biggest source we have discovered so far for fake USB Drives coming into Ebay in the United States is through a wholesaler web site called liquidation.com

An ebayer that I have been corresponding with sent me the following American Government website address which should be useful to both victim sellers and victim buyers in the United states. They might even be doing things internationally:

http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

This is the address of the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) which is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) - they seem to deal with almost every flavour of technology-related crime!
