    The same is true with Harddrives. With one exception...working harddrives that are as small or smaller than the average "jump drive" only truly have value as scrap, unless they're VINTAGE...and then you get into collector value. But the only people collecting 40gig harddrives, are people scrapping p4 computers! lol!
    Vintage hard drives right now are not really worth that much right now as there is a huge amount of them on the market.
