I was refering to laptop drives not 3.5" dekstop drives (which are much heavier and are made of aluminum and not stamped steel). By resell value I meant items that the local computer refurb people would not need or bother with being too old for their needs.

If their junk I pull the boards and the rest goes in two piles.
