Old drives still have any value?

I have a pair of 7200.11 500G drives out of warranty but rock solid albeit slow compared to today's standards.
I also have 3 WD AALS 500G drives also out of warranty but flawless.

I never sold drives but they are just getting older and are not being used.

Do people even buy drives without a warranty?

They appear to be going for between 40-50 bucks on ebay.
I assume that is a "fair" price?
 
or just build somekind of raid box from those and make one big drive :) with drive pooling or raid.. or whatever makes u happy :)
 
I hear ya, if I had one more AALS I could do a raid 10 and get some speed from them.
They are pretty damn slow.

They peak at 95 and average 75 in HDtune.

Decent 5 years ago for a WD black two platter but not by today's standard.

surprised so many are for sale on ebay for 50 bucks and are selling.

I'd sell them all off if I could and take that $$ and buy larger, faster drives.
