So, I remember taking 2 old MFM full-height hard drives from my lab like 15 years ago. I've been using them as bookends ever since. They're great for that!
Anyway, I look on ebay to perhaps pick up some more (although I doubt I'd actually buy any there, since they're heavy and shipping would be a bitch) and they're going for, like, HUNDREDS of dollars.
So, the question: Are these people idiots? Are they just figuring "hey, these are retro, so people will pay for them" or is there really some serious secondary market for drives that no one has used in god knows how long?
Am I crazy?
