Author Topic: 160GB maxtor diamondbacks bulk buy maybe?? (Read 5760 times)

taternutz · « **on:** June 26, 2008, 07:09:27 pm »

If anyone is interested, I was harddrive shopping on fleabay and came across on of my local elctronics recyclers and they have the following.
Diamondback 160gb IDE Hard Drive

If people are interested I figured I might be able to do like the person with the touchscreens just did, except I can drive 15min to p/u

Check out the auction and read, they say they believe they are new/unused.

Mike

taternutz · « **Reply #2 on:** June 26, 2008, 09:50:22 pm »

as you can see per the auction if I buy 5 or more I can get them for approx $22 ea that is with me picking up as they charge for pick-ups. Then whatever shipping would be to the people buying them.

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #3 on:** June 27, 2008, 07:41:31 am »

$22 + shipping is fair. Let me know if you go through with this.

Shipping to 48340

northerngames · « **Reply #4 on:** June 27, 2008, 08:58:00 am »

So keep adding names and quantities if people want.

taternutz · « **Reply #10 on:** June 28, 2008, 08:56:51 am »

I am also looking for idea's on how these should be packaged to be shipped, I do not kow if they are in anti-static bags or not and should I bubblewrap the hell out of them for packaging.

The list as of right now

myself 1 or 2
hoagie-1
northern games-2
whatzcrackn-1
mountain-1
doom bucket-1? have to pm and see if he wants

northerngames · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2008, 09:48:18 pm »

I may have to drop it down to 1 becuase I won a auction on ebay for 13 gamecubes and 13 n64's so my funds dropped a little but I should be able to sell some of them

Red · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2008, 02:56:38 am »

Wow... Not to hijack the thread, but care to expand on why? Just resale?

northerngames · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2008, 04:47:21 pm »

I got too good of a deal to pass on them and I dont have a gamecube yet so I figured I would get one for myslef and redo the extra's if needed and sell the rest as whole working console's or just parts if there's something wrong with it so if anyone needs parts I should have them

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #15 on:** June 30, 2008, 04:46:37 pm »

update?

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2008, 03:20:50 pm »

Is this deal dead or are we waiting till after the holiday?

Just kinda need to know either way so I can decide to pursue other avenues for the hard drive I need?

Sorry to pester.

Mike

taternutz · « **Reply #31 on:** July 22, 2008, 06:31:59 am »

does anybody know what percent paypal takes when you collect moey, as I do not want to come out of pocket on this deal. I am not trying to profit, I just do not want to be in the red either.

Something like .39 per transaction plus a percentage. Depends on the account I think. Check your settings to be sure.

divemaster127 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 22, 2008, 12:11:57 pm »

I would like a drive if I can still get one. For paypal 4% is a good rule of thumb

Check your account to be sure but, I think bank transfers are free for personal use (up to $500 a month?)and you get charged for credit cards (can't remember the amount).

Personal accounts don't get knocked a fee for eChecks or existing Paypal balance. Anything else you have to upgrade your account and get socked for *all* transactions.

sac01 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 24, 2008, 06:20:41 pm »

what's the total at now?

taternutz · « **Reply #38 on:** July 24, 2008, 08:18:14 pm »

I think it is still 4 as I just lowered mine. If this does not get complete soon I am going to give up and just by mine

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #39 on:** August 06, 2008, 11:00:03 pm »

this deal dead then?

taternutz · « **Reply #40 on:** August 07, 2008, 06:28:02 am »
