I tried to get involved in a few "deals" like this but they dont seem to work
most people are "interested" and not many serious buyers. But the prices you
quote are pretty good, but I was able to pick up a CDC/Seagate 209 meg
unformatted for $549. I got it from NCA Peripherals. (408-970-0286,
800-321-4003). I was lucky to get it reserved for a few days because during
that time 5-6 people called for it. They also have 380meg hard drive 16ms
for $799. They seemed to be a good deal also, but unlike the cdc are full
height. (I probably would have picked one up if I had the extra money, 
though!)
I havent had a chance to use the drive yet but it seems to be new (other than
their 'test format', but you dont get the manuals or an attractive package
with it..) I guess they got them for dirt cheap because the manufacturers
dont give them anything but the drive. Instead, I got a copy of the OEM
manual which is very technical.
I would recommend them to anyone, great prices and the service was good
also, just dont expect some great support from them.
