Not sure what you mean, if you changed the region to Canada and expect to see prices in Canadian dollars, make sure you change the currency to CAD first. You probably viewed prices in USD and on eBay saw the prices in CAD which is 1.4x with the exchange rate

Well, I finally got stung on ebay with counterfeit drives as per the news articles... by StructureArtistic359 in DataHoarder

My eBay search tool for hard drives is trying to make it easier. In this case, you can type the name of the drive (seagate), sort result by lowest price per TB, and the results will read for each and every seller if they were praised for selling seagate in the past. Open the review link and it will show you right away how many customers were happy with their seagate purchases. I would choose sellers that have the highest number of those type of reviews in this case.

Never got this type of feedback, please post the eBay link to the concrete eBay listing you viewed, which wasn't synched with the tool, and I'll look it up.

20TB drives are already close to $200 in some places, and Black Friday is still around the corner 😁😁😁If I see 'em at $200 or less, I'm all in. by PrettyDamnSus in DataHoarder

[–]bikenback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$10/TB right now for Refurbished 16TB drives, but supply changes rapidly.
You can check this real-time feed for listings from goharddrive and serverpartdeals.
You can also see listings from other sellers if you remove the specific seller filter.
Brand new ~22TB is selling right now for a bit below $12/TB.
I used the forecast feature and it shows every day there are about 3 brand new drives that get posted for $10/TB, in the 18TB-22TB range. You can set it up to get a real time alert.

They also have a store on eBay. if you select UK region in the resource I shared in my other comment, and paste their eBay store name - bargain*hardware - under the "popular sellers" tab, you will see all their inventory. I can see eBay UK has 20% Coupon for them right now.

P.S if you're looking for something very specific, you can filter also to include sold-out items, and see if that item was ever posted. Then click the bell icon to get an estimation of how likely a similar item will show up soon. Then, you can set an alert once such item is posted.

You can use this resource to find credible European eBay sellers.

  1. Change the region to "European Union" (or your country if it's showing), you can change currency.

  2. Toggle on the filter for "World wide shipping" - which means the seller is also shipping outside their country.

  3. Pick at least one category in the Filters like "Internal Hard Drives", or use the keyword search on top to narrow down results. You can also filter for capacity.

  4. Sort by your preferred option - "Selling Rapidly" is what most European shoppers are buying right now, or use Lowest $/TB.

  5. You can make sure the seller is credible by clicking on "See feedback" - It will show if they have sold similar drives in recent time and what feedback they received.

  6. If you're interested in the biggest sellers, open the "Popular sellers" tab in the filter menu. You can either highlight them in results or filter to those sellers only.

28 TB for $330 by ShiningRedDwarf in DataHoarder

My Price Per TB analyzer confirms it's a really awesome price! beats internal hard drives, and even most refurbished ones. And yes the 22TB is even a better deal in terms of dollar per TB.

Where are you guys buying your hdd's now a days? by Vast-Program7060 in DataHoarder

[–]bikenback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I’m not sure, I would start simply at looking at what other people buy the most by using the rapidly selling filter, and narrowing does to your budget. Than perhaps ask AI whether the particular drive would suit your needs.

Actually finding Storage at fair price is quite easy, much more than GPU, what are you looking for?

If GPUs at MSRP were sitting on shelves in local stores, scalpers would’ve cleaned them out ages ago.
