I've got a fully functioning OEM brand (aka, no name brand) firewire HD enclosure that I'd like to trade for a USB 2.0 HD enclosure. I want to use the USB airport sharing on my Airport Extreme but need a USB HD enclosure first (too bad my firewire one won't work :( ).

Thanks,

Ben

I have a 3.5 usb enclosure. I would be willing to pay shipping from my end if you would pay from your end.

uicandrew,

Sorry for not adding this, I have a 3.5 IDE and I'm looking to trade for a 3.5 IDE. I guess you could down convert mine to a 2.5, but I don't have anything fancy :-p.

so what's the queue look like for trades. becasue after some recent install fiascos i need a firewire enclosure bc you cannot boot a volume off of a usb enclosure in osx.

so i guess if #1 and #2 drop out, i'm game on a trade.

If everything falls through, I have a 3.5 enclosure with a fan (off brand I'm sure). Its usb2.0 and takes IDE. Looks brand new. I'd be willing to trade because my computer has firewire.

Plus shipping ands thats "if" you get your rebate. Not to crap on that but it's just one of those been there done that deals:eek:

Its a shame you're ignorant. Shipping is free and paying $15 isn't so bad, but paying $0 is great if you do get the rebate.

This item qualifies for free shipping on orders $19.99 and above. Our instant price $15.00


Such harshness because it's only free shipping over $19.99? Ouch :(

Hey saabmp3,

if you haven't got one yet, I have a Beyond Micro USB 2.0 enclosure and am willing to trade for the FW enclosure.

The list price is $29.99, ergo it qualifies. Just because you want his enclosure, don't try to kill a deal for him.
