ISO: "1Gb" SD Card

Hi all, I'm looking for some 1Gb (you read that correctly) SD Cards. If you have some 1Gbs from an older camera or mobile phone and don't have a need for it, I do and would really love to have it.
Why 1Gb in today's times you ask? I have a specific piece of equipment that can only support 1Gb. SD or Micro SD works.
Not interested in the fakes that's on ebay, etc. So I rather get the real deal from folks who has no use for 1Gb today.
Just let me know what you have. Thanks.

But I'm trying to stay away from the ebay fakes.
Thanks for your response though. Certainly do Appreciate it.

I've got a few old small sd/microsd cards <1gb, but I'm keeping them for the same reason. I might even have once that's 16MB.
In theory, I'd think your old equipment would actually work up with cards up to 2GB even if it only recognized 1GB.

Jkee, you brought some good points I didn't quite think of.
You're right, I'm not too concerned about fakes so much as I'm concerned about the quality of the no-name cards with regards to early corruption/reliability. (I know any card can get corrupted, but there's a bit more confidence with a branded card).
The reason why this is of concern is, the SD card has to be imaged to run some software on the card and it's not easy to be getting the card(s) imaged. So I want to start off with a good quality brand name card for the image or to create a "master image." .
Question - Do you know if an imaged SD card can be copied to multiple other SD cards with reliability?
I found a few on FB Mkt and bought 2, awaiting arrival now.
I looked on Craigslist and of course they're all over the country, Never even thought (or thinks) about Nextdoor and did not think about Goodwill. I will visit Goodwill now.
If I can copy the imaged card to a 2Gb card and test, I will.
I have a feeling that many of the 1Gb cards are being thrown out just due to their capacity.
If you're out and about and find some at an affordable price, if you want to buy it/them and I would buy them back from you + a coffee for your time and assistance.
Thanks.
I got rid of all my <8GB cards last time I cleaned out my desk.
