Sd card question

[igloo9]

Alright, so I don't know much when it comes to sd cards. So I have a question.

Look at these 2 sandisk sd cards. They are both 2 gb.

However, one of them is $10 and is called the "bulk package" and the other is $15 and is called the "retail package."

So basically, can someone tell me the difference between the two and why there is a $5 price difference? Thanks.

Because a retail package actually has a package you have to rip open where if you buy the bulk one, you're getting just the plastic case and the card. The reason for this is that the business probably can offer it for less because they bought those in bulk, where as individual packaging cost more, thus causing them to charge more.
