Price checks

[spanna]

New user here

I know that I cannot post in the For Sale area until I have 50 posts, but Is it ok If I ask for a price check here. I don't want it to sound like I'm trying to get around the rules, Just want to know what a reasonble price would be for something.

(I have looked on ebay but it goes from one extreme to the other ridiculously cheap or really expensive with zero bids)

Thanks

went for £46

is shown at $725 (I did see this from the same company on ebay at £405 but I can't find it now)

As you can see it is quite a range

I think £46 is ridiculously cheap for what it is, and £405 for a refurbished drive is massively expensive.

I've put it on for £125 buy it now to see if i get any takers - will let you know what happens

went for £88 + £10 p&p

oh well less than I would have wanted ideally but not too bad.
