Check out their computer salvage prices. Wow! $200 for XT machines... $25 for 3.5"
drives. All the salvage shops I've been to charge a few bucks for such items. Do some
folks actually pay those kind of prices for common items?

recycledgoods.com prices?
For years I only bought manufacturers 'official' part-numbered replacements
because I didn't realize the extent to which interoperability existed.
Maybe 25% of corporate types still think that way and many more will
want a 60-day guaranteed replacement. That, my son, is why resellers and
their price-scales exist. Realize that a lot of their listings are not
updated
and when you call (well, not you) the buyer may get a mild rejection.
A sales tool, you see? Trolling of another sence (than yours).

I'm guessing only a few people would pay such prices and that's why they
have 299 floppy drives in stock.
This is similar to our discussion of it_equipment_xpress on ebay.
Looking at their feedback, they obviously get some sales, but most of
us consider their prices to be very high.
I guess there is a new one born every minute after all...
