    Do you bother with rebates?

    I probably do about 20% of the rebates on things I buy.  Definitely too many hoops to jump through, generally for a very small $5 or $10 payback.  I generally just purchase products without rebates these days, or don't even take them into account when shopping.

    50+ Used Western Digital RE4 500GB

    Been selling our old hardware on eBay and having decent success, but figured I'd give everyone here a chance at it.  All of these drives were pulled from working service and have since been formatting through DBAN and tested for bad blocks.  They're all in good working order.
