He's joking.

And to answer your question, not a whole lot, if anything.  Are you looking to get rid of it for spinner material?

A broken HD isn't worth what it would cost to ship IMO.

A spinner?  Sure.  Non working HD?  Nice parts, but they're readily available.

Maybe a couple bucks, and I mean just that: $2.00 and that is pushing it.  Better to offer it up for someone that wants it.  Maybe do a trade for it or something.

You could always put it on ebay listed as "RARE 1gig 7200RPM HD with built-IN read/rite error OPTION L@@K!!!"

LOL, I have a couple of really old Apple drives that are that size. Mine are only 20 MB though! I remember when that seemed like all the storage I would ever need!

Quantium drive you have next to the gentle giant there.


            Back in the days when hard drives werent even around. Just little sticks'o 8 k RAM.. It wasnt even called RAM back then. You used punch cards... That if you got outta order you pretty much have to buy them all again

A search for rare comes up with 301639 items on E-Bay.

Lots of stuff is rare, apparently.
