In Circuit city it was $80 for a 80 GB. But same price on one for 100 Gb which was $80 after $20 rebate.

Drives are getting cheaper and cheaper to make like computer chips. If you bought it used and working, I would not pay more than $25. Because even if it was brand new in the box, you can buy the better ones with more storage for a little more money if you shop around.
