Browsing ebay I found 6 new QIC 1000 tapes for it starting at $1 with $5
shipping "IMATION MAGNUS 46165 QIC 1000- 1.2 GB-B NEW" and put in a bid
thinking nobody uses this stuff anymore. With 30 minutes currently left
it has hit $117.50 and all the bids are users with 2000+ feedback. So are
these things that rare, or do people snag it up to keep the prices
expensive for corporate users who need tapes? I can't really see a
company needing new tapes (1.2GB) these days, drives maybe to restore
files but not new tapes.
My goodness... I probably have 40-50 of these sitting in storage,
although only a few are unused. Do folks really use QIC-1000 drives
anymore?
