I think it's a typo. The picture shows a 128MB card, and the price of $25 seems more inline with a smaller card. The 1GB cards are around $100.

When I tried to add it to a cart (not logged in) I noticed that an alternative Lexar 128MB for $28.99 so I would say big typo. No doubt someone will sue saying false advertising etc.

No. There is verbiage somewhere in all advertising (read:Fine Print) that the seller is not bound by typos and other errors. Plaintiff would have to prove intentional repeated "mistakes" for it to constitute false advertising. They are not obligated to give it for that price either....
Just another urban myth...... :)

There was a time when a vendor was expected (if not legally obligated) to sell an item for an advertised price. Now a simple disclaimer absolves them from any responsibility whatsoever. Sad, but the disclaimer removes the incentive for them to get it right in the first place.
