You have to keep in mind though, that this Thrift Store

strictly "as-is". If it dosen't work, or if it's flakey, tough luck
guy, you bought it.
Ah, ok if it is "as is" (that here clearly mean
"it's broken") 10 $ or less
are ok.
Having been burned numerous times by paying too
much for junk that flat out didn't work, I have resolved NEVER to pay
more than $10 for disk drives (of any sort).
I FULLY AGREE (and been burned too).
You know somebody who would pay $60 for a USED 1541? Hm, I wonder how
hard it is to get past Italian Customs . . .
Yes, this is the real trouble.
It depends how "expert" is the man in charge to controll stuff.
If he recognize the stuff as used and "out-of-fashion" he will probably be
human; otherwise it will cost
as gold.
