Rare half-height PC drive mounting bracket

I am not the seller

Whenever I see the word rare used I immediately start to question the intent as well as the veracity of the seller.

I am not the seller. I went hinting for those brackets for months on the internet; couldn't find any. I finally found (inexpensive) substitute machined brackets for $5/each (I've posted the source here before), and they did what I needed, but go try to find the original brackets for sale on the web and most won't find them. This is the first time I've seen them for sale in the 18 months since I looked for them.

Quite the contrary. I went looking by part number and name using various search engines such as Google for many months before you posted that you had one available this year. I searched intensely LAST YEAR, long before you posted that you had it available. Other than the one you have, doing a google search generally turns up none of them when searching by part number of description outside of the mount you have available.

Actually, I posted that I had one of those over a year ago, July 30, 2014 to be exact. :)
 
I believe you. I was probably looking rather intensely all the winter and spring before that - too bad it wasn't earlier. Did you ever consider that maybe what you have and are offering isn't commonly or rarely available otherwise. I mean, you have a set - so to you it isn't rare. I am good at searching the web - and I couldn't find one. Even now if you search the web on 62X1075 62X0643, or 62X1074 62X0636, or IBM half height or other search variants none (other than the one currently on eBay) show up (not even yours that I could tell). That's pretty good proof these are not commonly found.
