The truth is, if you are willing to wait, I've
even seen some go as low as
the $40+
to $60+ range? With some, condition might be poor, or they may not be
operational
and be being sold as is, but they might also be just fine. That's the eBay
gamble. I
do remember the MTI QTS-25 I had sold on eBay a couple of years ago to
Zane went for only $50
The thing to remember is that the controllers in that price range are tape
only. For example, that MTI QTS-25 was tape only as I recall (or to put it
another way, I don't recall buying any SCSI controllers on eBay that weren't
tape only :^)
The jump in value from Tape only to disk only is pretty huge, then there is
a lesser jump in value from Disk only to Disk/Tape.
