Holy shit - Big 256 GB External HD for $10
 

...my paranoia would never let me buy digital storage off of ebay. I would feel much better just buying HD's new.

why?

this one seems to be a real deal..!

Totally with you. New HDs go bad too often to be extra risky with a used one.

Big??? 1 terra byte is only $100 these days.

Not worth a damn unless you can buy 500+ of them at that price!

Its also now $15 and rising. Also has been used once???

WTF, buy a brand new http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...57318&source=1

i was surprised i thought they cost more..

? You're not familiar with ebay auctions? There's around a minute to go and the price is at $15.50, it will probably go up in the last few seconds...

The auction actually started at $0.99

You're right - I've never used ebay before. Will be interested to watch the last seconds.

Closed at $27.01

WOW - you were right!:thumbsup

Bet the seller was disappointed, $0.99 auctions don't necessarily go past a price that you'd be happy with (as a seller). You pay less in listing fees to start at $0.99 but it can backfire and leave you with a low winning bid. I've picked up some items for exactly $0.99 before, I was the only bid!

wow nice!

Seems like seller should have listed higher. But according to others here, maybe lucky to even sell the thing. Seemed like a steal to me, but everyone here thought otherwise, so i'm not so sure anymore. Either way, there's more to hd's and ebay than i thought. :)

1.5tb can be had for about 100 bucks, faster and much bigger lower price per gig.

took the words out of my Mouth

Never buy harddisks on ebay, if you are not 100% sure the item is 101% ok!
The data on the drive is your bussines, time and money.

I wouldn,t save a few bucks on the wrong end :-)

Only one feedback. Never buy from those with small feedback count. Also, I need a 500gb, or so storage, but do not want to buy it from ebay as I bought two USB keys some time ago and they worked only some months. I am going to UK next month, there will be good place to search for great deals.

Damn! That's a video editors/video collector's dream come true.

$10... :Oh crap you get what you pay for

Yes, I could do with a few of them, but its the room I need then! You cannot purchase new rooms on ebay :thumbsup

Will only last a day or two before crapping out, way too cheap.

it is cheap yea... but not to big...

The hardcore guys run RAID arrays with multiple 2TB drives. On one storage forum I'm on some guys have 50TB or more storage (which requires 26+ drives) just for "stuff"

I bought a 1TB external for $80 with free shipping from Dell. :thumbsup

10 wasted dollars :)
