My experience buying drives on eBay hasn't been too hot. I managed to get a 40MB drive years ago that came through OK, but my last few purchases have ended up with me getting dead drives. Usually they're inadequately packed...one bonehead put the drive in an anti-static baggie and put that in a Priority Mail box with no padding. Computer Surplus Outlet (http://www.computersurplusoutlet.com) usually has small SCSI drives available dirt-cheap. I have a 340MB drive in my IIGS and a 1GB drive in my Quadra 610 that cost less than $10 each. They're sitting on a ton of 4.3GB Seagate Barracudas right now for $20 each (catch is that they're SCA, so you'll need an adapter to go from 80 to 50 pins). (They're a couple of miles from where I work...they have more stuff in stock than is listed on their website, so you might want to call or email them if you seek something that's not on their site.)
