Am currently trying to investigate through ebay, paypal, and the credit card company. I never got them and the seller will not return my e-mails. Please if anyone knows where these really were or if anyone knows the seller or has any more info, I really would appreciate it immensely, Thanks, BBB

E-Bay and PayPal will conduct an investigation. If they find that it is a scam you should get your money back. I think you have to wait something like a month before either of them will take action. Read their rules.
I purchased an item on E-Bay and the guy never sent it. I filed a complaint and about 2-3 months later my money was refunded.

Be patient.

I hate to tell you but this is a scam. I sold these drives on OSO about 2 months ago. The pics were taken in my garage and the description is the one that I used here. If I can help, let me know.

I would think contacting the person that bought them from you to see if he still has them might be helpful.

I did a quick search for Dan W. Train.
On www.melissadata.com click on "Lookups", then under "Business and Professional" click on "People Finder".
I entered Dan Tain and search came back with Dan W. Train, age 59. There's one in Alton, KS and another in Athol, KS. For a fee you can get his address.
I tried Shanna Scone, none in Kansas. But there is one in Florida and another in Pennsylvania.

Hope this helps.

Talking Re: Please help, I was scammed...

Please pass the word and make sure no one deals with these people ever again. It will cost Mr Train, way more than he scammed me for ! Thanks, BBB

thats not always true, they found in my favor on a dispute but the other party had already withdrawn all the funds out of their account so i got nothing back... paypal said if they used their account again they would freeze it, no luck in almost 2 years....
