Rob,
Could it be that they get identical drives that don't work. Some of
the drives have bad platters or heads and other drives have bad
interface cards but the platters and heads are ok. So they take the good
cards and put them on the drives with the good platters and heads and
then label the drive as being refurbished?
GOD Bless and Thanks,
rich!
P.S. I feel that around $300 USD is on high side unless they plan on
hand delivering the item to the client!
rich!

The seller is also describing it as "refurbished", one of these days I am going to
ask one of these sellers what refurbishment they do. The seller also has a 2.5" HDD for
£1,200, 2 left and 190 sold, can't imagine they sold for that price 😊

Seller is German. Of course they are serious.
The real question is whether they are sane.
The better questions are:
Why is the price marked in GBP and why doesn't he ship to Germany?
(This is what Ebay Germany tells me!)
So I absolutely agree with Ali concerning stock non-availability and the seller
just being a broker.
