Not that it’s not but, with the prices of tech, what is the “profit” here? At least around where I live, $5 gets you a only barely-decent USB stick.

Sounded to me like the user paid $5 and supplied the USB. I dunno, never occurred to me someone would buy a flash drive for someone else. That’s odd to me. Everyone has one these days and I’d not want to bother with buying a flash drive for someone else.
