Evolution of (e)scrapper

Very good write-up but one thing I would like to add;

Still undecided on whether I'm better of selling bigger harddrives on eBay versus simply scrapping them. Just sold about 10 of them, one of which had to be refunded since it was not fully functional on arrival, even though I packed it real well and stuck "fragile" labels all over the package. Since probably the older is the drive the more likely it is to have a problem of some sort, dealing with these "bad apples" maybe too much hassle. Or not -- can't quite figure out yet, not enough selling history.

I'm try to work a "deal" with a computer repair shop to trade them good working drives and cards for their old/broken computer junk, that way they have a better way to check stuff out before using the item, thus saving my good ebay rating.
