Couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by a guy who said

He's left me on his mailing list, and since than
has reported that he
had
an offer for $500, then $1000, and this morning he
says he has an
offer for
$2000. I corresponded with him again and he says:

There's one on eBay right now, in good condition, with working drives,
at $355 Canadian with 19 hours to go. I've seen them go a little
higher. I can't imagine why anyone would pay very much more than that,
and I suspect he's not had any offer near $2000. If he had, and you'd
already told him you weren't interested at $150, why would he bother to
contact you again? Anyway, don't forget you'd pay VAT and possibly
import duty if you bought one from the States.
