[SunRescue] Prices for some refurbished Sun hardware

[Kurt Huhn]

I'd say it looks expensive.  These prices seem to me to be about 30% more
than what I regularly pay - YMMV, of course.  Consider that bare Sun 411
enclosures go for about $50-$60US with no cables and sometimes with a 150MB
tape drive.  I've seen Sun CD-ROM drives in 411 enclosures go for ~$100US on
Ebay, and about that price on most retailer's sites.  I don't have a
comparison for you but $65 for 535MB drive seems high - I think Mike
Nicewonger has some cheaper (I might be wrong).  The other drives seem much
more than what I would pay, but I suppose other folks might find a bargain
there.
