That's how it works. It's like that circuit city commercial with the big screen TV.

Seriously, the drive in Newegg is REFURB and not NEW like you pay for it. You don't wanna risk a broken drive right?? :)

Yeah, from what I've read on here NewEgg refurbed items are a real crapshoot. $20 more for a brand new drive would be worth it to me.

True and nice deal in your sig, if I still had my i4000 I'd go for it.

$13 shipped for 64MB SODIMM is like pocket change.

Given your propensity for buying things I'm sure you'll find a use for in the future. :) Buy my RAM, please! I bumped my thread here and there for quite a while in FS/T and no one bit, and one member even told me to stop bumping it because "it appears no one is interested". Of course, he bumped my thread to do this. :p

Indeed, $13 is far less than it's worth but I simply don't have a use for it and I'd like to get rid of it before I lose it.

Nothing wrong with any of my refurbs. My friends who works at Fry's type of stores says that the #1 reason for returns is customer incompetence.
