Help settle an argument

[jmiller]

2 years ago I bought a 250GB Western Digital HDD + USB enclosure for $85CDN + tax.

Today, my friend bought the same drive, on its own, no enclosure for $100CDN + tax.

I recommended he take it back for a refund and get a superior deal elsewhere. He disagrees and thinks he got it for a great price.

Opinions?

well he definetly didnt get a good deal thats for sure.

500gig drive goes for $100 here. If you can find a 250, it wouldnt be more than $70AU

Where? :eek3: I want one!

Plenty of places

I can get a Western Digital 250gig for $72, Maxtor for $69 or Segate $72, being in the NT, you probly find it harder to get parts for a good price

Travel to QLD much? theres a Store in Slacks Creek you can pick one up from.

There's not really anything to settle, one price is less than the other ...

Well obviously he got a bad deal...

Unless your currency has inflated ----loads like the dollar, I don't think it has though.

IMHO NewEgg has the best prices, but looking at everyones Location, it might not help you out being based in the US
