Thanks What exactly are they? And what sorta money would you want? I have no backup of my HTPC media so this could work...	hueybot3000 (3646)
1374235	2014-05-06 07:21:00	$30 for the larger size perhaps? A few mnths ago I sold a sealed brand new. WD 500gb black $65 - from warranty so fresh manufacturer date a month old.	Nomad (952)

1374237	2014-05-06 20:00:00	Would you seriously pay $75+ for a 3 yr old drive? Coming from a CTV DVR my assumption is they've been running constantly for that time as well. They are only worth what someone is willing to pay and 2nd hand hard drives are a tough thing to sell. A new 2TB AV drive is worth around $180 and has a 3 yr warranty www.pp.co.nz for example but who'd spend $100 for a 3 year old drive when a brand new standard one is only $30 more with a 2 yr warranty www.pp.co.nz Tough to gauge a value on something like that but I always consider I'm competing with the cheapest new option when selling 2nd hand goods not the current price of that specific item. I'd suggest $30 is a bit low and $75 is about the max but thats just for me personally if I was shopping 2nd hand. I'd split the difference and try for about $50 myself.	dugimodo (138)
1374238	2014-05-06 22:34:00	New 2T drives can be bought for less than $120 pricespy.co.nz $50 or less seems fair. No matter what spec its still a used drive . See how much they sell for on on trademe , thats the best indication of value. You can search expired listings. nb actually selling on trademe, not some silly price that too many seem to try for on TM ;)	1101 (13337)
1374239	2014-05-07 00:21:00	Thanks for input - just checked and they are: Western Digital 2 TB SATA HDDs Manufactured July 2011 Will try on TM for $150 for the 4 of them - our association may as well get something for them v the dump!	stuffed (1469)
1374240	2014-05-07 15:31:00	What model number? have you plugged them in and see how many hours usage they have logged? Might be these? www.techarp.com	apsattv (7406)
