    Hard Drive Covers

    Mine fell off of the back of my laptop and disappeared, so I looked for a replacement on ebay. To my surprise, I found that
    people are actually selling them.

    The caddies sell pretty well too. Most of the time when people take the hard drive out, they don't take them off and put them back in. People who refurbish laptops are always looking for them.

    when you look at what it costs someone like me that is refurbishing laptops to buy those covers and caddies that people take off before sending them to me, you realize why I pay so much more for a unit that has the covers. It is not just the cost to buy them in terms of money, but the bigger investment in time. I can not tell you how many laptops I did not refurbish because it was not worth the effort to track down the covers. If you pull the hard drives put the caddie back at least. Put the ram cover back on after you pull the ram if you must pull the ram (or better yet, dont pull the ram). Your laptop buyer will reward you long term.

    If anyone has a bucket of caddies, feel free to contact me.

    parts have always been an easy sell. Keyboards, face plates, bezels, the list is nearly endless
