Because the market has gone to sata you won't see much in the way of bargains on the 250gb ata disks. They are now in the "esoteric" area and not the mainstream consumer market. If you want capacity, buy a new drive with an enclosure. If you want to use your old firewire case - bite the bullet and get the 250gb now.
