Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Have you tested the drive to make sure the rubber components are OK?


No, if I tested the drive it would not be new and would show signs of usage. This has been stored in it's original packaging in storage. The rubber components should be fine.

Brand new = brand new. I've been selling on eBay for 10 years, I know what many customers look at. If I state it is new, the customer gets it and takes a magnifying glass to inspect the DB25 connectors and sees the scuff marks on the the connectors, immediately I get a negative feedback and accused of being a fraud.

If you are not comfortable, do not bid. Period.

I also have an identical used unit that was stored under the same conditions. I will be personally using the used unit soon. I am waiting on a Dataflyer 1200 SCSI+ to come in the mail. This should be a good indication. I suspect it will be fine, if not I will update the auction listing.
