Their cheapest 20GB notebook HDD is $118. I've been following a group of auctions on EBay, hoping to find a $75 deal like David, but I couldn't resist bidding up and winning an auction for a Hitachi drive. I was getting tired waiting wait drive with <$90 bids to come up. This one was at $70 odd bucks up to an hour or so before the end of the auction... then it went to $78. 12 minutes to the end of the auction I put my bid in with an $88 maximum, and was auto-out-bid at $88 since that was the other guy's high bid too... and since his $88 was first, mine lost. But... seems you can bid again these days if your right there before the auction ends. Couldn't do that last year without bidding with a different user name. So in the last 5 minutes I made another bid with a $91 max limit... but before submitting it, I went back and changed it to $91.05, just in case. Can you believe it... some new guy saw the $88 bid while I was rebidding, and submitted a bid with a max of $91... and I ended up beating him by 5 cents! Well... it wasn't the $75 deal I was shooting for... but it was fun :-) even though I ended up right at that $90 - $100 mark that most of the 20GB notebook drives are going for. Shipping was $12 with insurance, so it's livable. I couldn't find any deals as good on the web via pricewatch.com, etc. On to figure out the overlay stuff and start loading more MP3s :-) Matt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
