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!
Thatrs not true. I sell 40gb hard drives all day long on ebay. Sold one last week for $12 plus shipping. Granted now that I have about 40 of them im going to start trying to sell them in lots instead of solo.
