Need to offload broken Hard Drive

[pizza4554]

I got a Seagate Barracuda (Protip: Never get a Seagate Barracuda. In fact, don't buy Seagate.) where the plastic piece holding the pins on the sata connecter literally snapped off and into the carpet, never to be seen again. I was wondering if there was anyone who knew of a way I could sell the thing for like 20 bucks and be rid of it. Everything is working perfectly except for the sata thing, so it's not like it's a used 5 year old one. I literally had it long enough to know it works. I promise, it's been used so little it's borderline new. Anyway, what can I do with it. (Also, I am not interested in repairing it unless it would still turn a profit, as I am getting a WD Black, so unless I can get money for it, I don't need it repaired.

Take it to your local computer shop. They're probably the only guys who would be interested.

That'd probably do it. Thanks!

(In retrospect, I'm not really sure why I didn't think of that. -_-)

If it's just the SATA power connector that has snapped, then you could hardwire a legacy Molex power connector to the PCB.

Nope, it's the data line. Power's fine though.
