How easy is it to counterfiet a HDD?

i have been looking for a good sized hard drive for my computer, and i found a great deal on one on ebay (160 Gb 2.5" HDD starting @ $.99). i wouldnt think much of it, but there are like 6 of em and the seller claims theyre all in their packing. all the info provided is copy/pasted from the manufacturers website. i would provide a link, but if this deal is good, i wanna keep it to myself.

so, do you think this is too good to be true, or should i go for it?

Can you supply a link to the seller? Other wise how can we tell?



I have never heard of anyone counterfeiting a HD. That would be way to hard to do. The most they could do was relabel the HD to make it look like a more expensive one.



Or they are selling returned HD's as new. But otherwise?

i looked at the seller; he is 100% positive at 111 sales, but all his sales are baseball cards....and his name doesnt comfort me: "turtlesexx"??

I would contact the seller and ask any him any questions you might be concerned about.



I looked up the seller and it looks legit. But you know this is a notebook 5400 rpm drive right? In a desktop pc that would be one slow HD to install.

lol, ya, but ima lappy man on a budget

It's a starting price of $0.99, if they are actually real then expect the price to climb pretty substantially.

It will not stay that price.

It will increase substantially.

Its a Tatic used by many Power Sellers

Start the bidding at $0.99, It attracts ALOT of attention.

People Book Mark It.

Get all excited and bid early.

Wait till the last 3 minutes, then quickly bid. This will stop everyone else being able too out bid you in time.

Thus winning the item

you must not be very familiar with ebay. most listings start out at 99 cents. how much are you looking to spend? name brands aren't THAT expensive. i got a 500 gig samsung for 100 on newegg.

I wait until the last 15 seconds to bid. Try to snipe it at the last moment. 3 minutes gives someone else to much time to beat your bid.

Ahh, Im Assuming you have Broad Band.



I have Dial Up.



I need 3 minutes!



lol.



Seeing as by the time it actually puts it through, there is about 20 seconds left anyway . . .
