I dunno, $150-200 seems to be the norm with the dealers. What gets me is I
just checked the page out, and they want $250 for a RD53!!! Personally I'm
happier now that I'm running on ESDI drives, as I've been able to find
several spares cheap.
I'm still depressed that I missed saving a case of brand new RD54's from
being recycled by my local recycler, I missed them by about two days :^(
