That's weird. I've been comparing 512s (270 for a SD card about 150 for SSD). 256 must have really gone down in price recently.
The $30 MicroSDs i'm seeing are from Patriot, and while that's a brand i've trust, there's more than a few fakes for Patriots floating around Amazon that aren't really at that capacity. Doesn't mean they aren't still a good option, but something to be cautious and aware of while buying. Gotta make sure you have a trustworthy seller, mostly.
