Hi Folks!...
Have a Seagate 1.275 Gb EIDE hard drive for sale. Less than 3 months old. No
errors reported anytime I have run scandisk. Dismissed from service as too
small for my needs. Looking for a good home.
Based on local advertised prices asking CDN$110.00 or best offer.
Shipping is extra if you're not local to me.
Sorry, but I consider a private sale final unless I'm standing there watching
you intall it in your machine. The only thing that I will warrant is that it
was working fine when I gently and carefully slipped it out of the machine
and directly into an anti-static bag.
Call me at +1 (613) 829-0609 or use netmail or email.
