Imo untested always means dead. Especially when it is something easy to test - like a laptop

Yes, probably should have seen that coming to be fair. Especially since the A1297s are so prone to failure.

It's just that confirmed working ones are still so goddamn expensive and I kinda wanted to have one but not enough to drop 200€ on it

Rule of thumb when buying electronics (or anything for that matter) is buy it cheap, buy it twice.

Nervously looks at the 10€/TB refurbished drives that just arrived

70€ isn't cheap for a laptop from 2011, to me at least...

But I get what you mean, 10€ per TB sounds too good to be true :D

PS3s regularly go for €115 so I guess it's not that surprising. It's about demand, if a lot of people want one then it doesn't really matter how old it is.
