I found it on the same site you linked to and just purchased it for $20.

I was a bit careless when opening it back up and cracked the screen. I ended up just buying the iPod off of him for then-current market value, and have had the drive on my shelf since.
Thats the problem, its very easy to crack the screen when you open them. Next time I will know to open it from the side as opposed to the top. In the mean time however, I am stuck with a 60GB drive! Does anyone know if these are standard laptop sized drives?

I was going to fix a 60 GB model about a year ago for a friend, so I bought the hard drive. I plugged it all in, got it working, but then noticed that the drive was slightly loose inside.

I got the drive out, and it looks like its uses an IDE connector. This probably could replace the hard drive in my laptop, but I am not sure exactly how I would get the data off first.
Try connecting it to your computer and just copying the data off.. You're going to have to figure out how to provide power to it. Might not be worth it.

Nope, I've never had to deal with any of this.

Oftentimes, broken electronics being sold for parts can go for $5-20 if you find a good deal.

People do this type of thing all the time for cell phones... I've never done it, so I don't know how easy it is..

I found a fix online that involved opening the case, shaking the hard drive, and then putting it all back together.
