The only listings that matter on E-bay are completed listings. They will be listed in green.
How do you see completed listings? I haven used ebay since 2006

1. Advanced search http://www.ebay.com/sch/ebayadvsearc...pfnorm=1&rt=nc
2. check "Completed listings" under "Search including"

If you type in something such as hard drive platters, all listings that are still going on will come up. If you scroll down the screen, you will see completed listings. click there.

so does anyone on here sell them? If you do PM me and I'll see what I can do about getting you some.
