Or just bid your full amount to start with. Lots of people use eBay like a
email store and just place an order, with a bid that delivers 90% of the
time. Right now I have a couple 230 MB 3.5" magneto optical drives, and a
local auction has a LOT more of them, so I would "really" like to get a
couple of the disc's that work with it (128 MB or 230 MB) to see if my
work, and if I like them. Ebay so far looks like the best source, I just
haven't tried to hard to buy some yet.
