You have to keep in mind though, that this Thrift Store stuff is
strictly "as-is". If it dosen't work, or if it's flakey, tough luck
guy, you bought it. 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).
Now if given the opportunity to test the suff before I buy, well, I'd
probly pay more, but I usually just wait for the price to fall to
some trivial amount.
You know somebody who would pay $60 for a USED 1541? Hm, I wonder how
hard it is to get past Italian Customs . . .

I dunno about this guy, but I'm in the Midwest. It can be pretty
slim pickens out here. The thrift down the street from where I live
is asking $10 for 1541's and 1571's. Too steep. I wait for the
price to go down . . . .
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
10 Dollars = Too steep???
Are you joking?
I must convince myself that U.S. are the cheapest place in the world for
everything!
Here in Forl?, where I live, you can get a 1541 at no less than 60$.
1571 nearly the double!
If I will take a chance to come there i think I will fill luggages of that
stuff!
