Would being over 10 pounds be considered bulk?

i've got a whole bunch of old drives sitting on my desk. i should probably get rid of them for $0.15 to $0.20 per gig, depending on size (as shipping cost is the same regardless)

common sense will get you nowhere on ATOT, you know that.

seriously OP, do you think the 100s of posts in FS/T selling (and sold) HDDs are simply for fun? I suggest looking in FS/T before posting.
