Guy,
??? Agreed. Well by their thinking I should be able to get $1,000 for my
IBM 100MB SCSI drive from the 1990s.
This isn't unusual. Commercial mission-critical parts often go for
huge markups. If the maintenance spec for a given piece of equipment
says "this is the drive that you need", then the sky's the limit.
Consider that calling in a 3rd party service outfit to install the drive
won't be cheap either.
In a hobbyist/surplus market, the drive might bring $30 on a normal day.
