Let me know if you are interested in purchasing subject drive. It is in perfect condition and in warranty with Maxtor until the end of April. I guarantee no-DOA.

How much? Honestly, I'm willing to pay around $1 per GB plus shipping(no hurry-UPS or USPS ground is fine). Less is the drive flaky, more if it's brand new, never used. I'm looking to pick up a few used IDE drives in the over 2GB class, but they're currently going for ridiculous prices on eBay(i.e. $30 and up without shipping). Being that CompUSA often has specials on new 30 or 40 GB drives for $50 or less after rebate, I just don't understand why people pay those kinds of prices. If you are really looking to get top dollar for the drive, I think you'll get more on eBay than anybody here would be willing to pay you. On the other hand, if you just want to find a good home for it, I'm sure you'll find a few buyers here, me included. Just trying to be honest here.

BTW, do you also have anything you don't want in the 8.4GB or under class(RPM doesn't matter). I'm thinking of upgrading the drive in my P200 MMX Linux box(it currently has a 2GB drive with bad sectors), but the machine doesn't recognize anything over 8.4 GB(1024 cyl, 255 hd, 63 spt). I think Linux might be OK with something bigger though, provided the boot partition resides within the first 8.4 GB.

I'll give eBay a try and if I don't find some fool willing to overpay me for the drive, I'll sell it to you for $13.60 plus shipping.

Thanks,

Thanks. Sounds good to me. I'll be happy to take it for that price if nobody buys it.

BTW, I checked eBay yesterday and I saw drives smaller than that going for $30+. I even saw someone who had a 540 MB drive for a $15 BIN price, although he had no takers so far. I wouldn't be surprised if your drive fetches $40 or more. It seems to be a seller's market for used drives over there. People even get into bidding wars over dead drives. RAM also seems to be a bit pricey there compared to online retailers.

i bought a 4gig for about $20.... how sad... but i needed a temp drive

Sad thing is, I make more money selling parts on Ebay - something I've only done a couple of times - than I do for complete systems.

 

[blakerwry]

that's true... computer parts, atleast some, on ebay are overpriced junk.

Alot of times i see better quality stuff that's cheaper than the crap that i find constantly on ebay...
