Love it or hate it, eBay is the most credible source of pricing or value
that I know of. Last night, really the past week, I have been digging
deeply into the purchases I have made in the last few months, and I found a
really cool looking box, HP SureStore 12000e. 10 minutes on the HP site,
and I knew all about the buttons on the front, but not what the damn thing
WAS. 2 minutes on eBay and I knew I had a nice 48 GB DDS tape array storage
thing worth $175 or so, that had drivers for windows etc. that I could
download for free (and had the links to do so in the eBay ad).
