Looks like I'm going to be getting a new TP here soon, so this drive is going to be up for grabs. I've seen a couple people looking for them, but I'm unsure on pricing.

This was purchased new from Tiger Direct and has a date stamp of July 2006 which would put the warranty expiration as July of 2009. This is a Hitachi Travelstar, model HTE721080G9AT00.

It has served me well, and is super quiet.

What would be a fair price?

$70 shipped would be fair.

I would probably price it at $80-85 shipped, since they are virtually impossible to get.

Prices have gone up really high for those. I see them selling for a little more than $100. I recently bid on a 100gb and lost to a high bid of $132.

You may start at $80 shipped. If it's a no go price, just go down to $75. That should go fast.

Good luck,

Paul
