Title: 160GB maxtor diamondbacks bulk buy maybe??
Post by: 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.

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.

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  ;)

Wow...  Not to hijack the thread, but care to expand on why?  Just resale?
Title: Re: 160GB maxtor diamondbacks bulk buy maybe??
Post by: northerngames 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  :o

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

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.
