You have to keep in mind though, that this Thrift Store stuff is
strictly "as-is". If it dosen't work, or if it's flakey, tough luck
guy, you bought it. Having been burned numerous times by paying too
much for junk that flat out didn't work, I have resolved NEVER to pay
more than $10 for disk drives (of any sort).

Now if given the opportunity to test the suff before I buy, well, I'd
probly pay more, but I usually just wait for the price to fall to
some trivial amount.

You know somebody who would pay $60 for a USED 1541? Hm, I wonder how
hard it is to get past Italian Customs . . .
