Yeah - Made an offer - seller didn't realize they were listed for 148/each - canceled auction and relisted for 174.99 - won't seem to go below $170 now - Wonder if its still worth it..
I encountered the same with this seller on the original listing; I made an offer for a moderate quantity and they countered significantly higher than the buy-it-now price for the same.
I opted to pass entirely as SSD prices have been falling and more of this sort of gear will be finding it's way into the used market going forward. These are good enough drives for what they are, but I don't feel they're particularly special such that they'd be a "must buy" at the current price. Especially not with 3.84TB drives occasionally popping up at an even better $/GB....
Last I checked, they had 60+ of the original 100 in this batch to go through still, and I imagine they will be selling them slower now that they're no longer $149/ea in small quantities. It's also worth noting that they sat for days at the discounted rate even after being posted here. So, unlike some STH deals that dry up in minutes, one probably has some time to think on it if you're "on the fence."
Good luck whatever you decide!
