Bad marketing by ProGrade memory cards or not?

I  was going to order this card thinking that for $39.99 I was going to get a 256GB  card.  When you click on this add you see that the $39.99 is for the 64GB card and if you want the pictured 256GB card, you'll have to shell out $139.99.

A) That's not marketing, that's (sort of) advertising.

2) How do you know ProGrade has any control over how Amazon chooses to presents products to you? I'm guessing they don't, but I could be wrong about that.

3) It says right there "64GB" in the description.

4) I'm looking at a listing for the 128GB card, and it's showing the 256GB card for $75. This is likely due to the combined listings for products such as this. Bad programming?

The price of UHS-II cards is definitely dropping. But unless you are recording RAW 4K video, that's overkill. Standard 4K video (30p) only requires about 30MB/s. A Sandisk Extreme card does just fine for me.

Yeah, I don't see nothing worth getting excited about there.  I've seen plenty of photos out of place on Amazon.  

BTW have any of you tried these cards?

If you've shopped Amazon for a while, you expect those kind of ads....If you got fooled on a sale they would have made it right anyway.

Why so serious?
