Has anybody bought anything from Junkyard Jeff's recently?

The site seems to have died out a long time ago.

it did die out a long time ago (I have ordered stuff from the original ages ago).

He opened a newer site a few years back (2007-2008) selling laptop parts, and that crashed and burned.

That sucks.

Now I know that this is an even bigger longshot... but does anybody know if this site is active?

They have a phone number, call them.

They have a ton if useful things including replacment mobos for mostly every mac model.

After browsing the site a little more I found these hard drives listed:

0 0 0 WD10000033-000 WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB EXT.HDD

0 0 0 WD10000D033 WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB NAS MYBOOK WORLD ED EXT HDD WDG2NC1000N

0 0 0 WD10000G032 WESTERN DIGITAL MY BOOK WORLD 1TB EXT HDD

0 0 0 WD10EACS WD GRNPWR 1TB SATA/16MB Cache 3G 7200RPM HDD

0 0 0 WD10EACS-00D6B0 WD GRNPWR 1TB SATA 3G 7200RPM HDD

0 0 0 WD10EACS-00D6B1 WD GRNPWR 1TB SATA/16MB Cache 3G 7200RPM HDD

0 0 0 WD10EADS CAVIAR GREEN 1TB SATA 7200RPM HDD

So it seems slightly evident that the site was updated sometime recent.

They don't have a toll-free number unfortunately.

and you're right, there are a lot of things of interest there. I realized they have a support email though, so I will send them one.

Do they actually have any prices listed? I did not get to browse at all because the shit-scripts on that site killed firefox pretty quickly.

You have to add it to your cart to see the price. Safari worked fine with it.

You actually have to type in a quote what you want to pay for the item at checkout.

You get denied.(most likely)

My guesses on that part is the system has a set price so you can only go so low in price before your offer get's denied.

They have a Canon Rebel XSi for sale. That kind of says "we're still around".
