Yeah, this is why I'm not reporting him to ebay or anything. I just can't get my head around someone opening new drives to format them prior to selling them if something sketchy isn't going on. It would be just as easy to include instructions on formatting with the drive. However, I have no...
Yeah, I was thinking about this after I posted, and I'm going to leave the FB tonight stating simply that the drives weren't new and he gave a refund, but it seems sketchy (worded politely). I can't imagine what he could say about me other than that I didn't agree to a $35 restocking fee. LOL
Here is the seller:

Here's a new listing for the same HDD I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Western-Digital-WD60EZRZ-6TB-BLUE-SATA-5400-RPM-64MB-6-TB-3-5-OEM-PC-HARD-DRIVE-/331952330445?hash=item4d49e696cd:g:I80AAOSwn8FXSods
Interestingly, he has now...
I've got a new 40" Samsung KU6300 4k flanked by a 23" 1080p NEC from 2010 and a 24" 1200p Soyo Topaz S MVA from 2007ish (both in portrait mode). I've got a couple more supplementary monitors but they're not as old. I don't think I'll upgrade for a long while--I only use the flanking monitors...
This is rich. He included this in a reply about my request for a return:
P.S. Because these items are listed as no returns I do not have a return policy so I would like to ask you if you would be willing to pay a 5% restocking fee ($14.80) to help cover a portion of the $35 your decision to...
Yes, I just saw that, too (I was really asking rhetorically, but I appreciate your help). I can't believe I had my head so far up my butt on this one. I guess the allure of saving almost $100 shut down my usual paranoia.
These are going back.
Thank you to everyone for your help! I sincerely...
Yikes. That is horrible. I've sold a few DVDs on ebay recently, but I don't (and won't) make a habit of it. As a seller, I trust neither ebay nor paypal based on hearing a lot of stories like this one.
I checked the serial on one of the drives and it checked out. I thought the warranty was tied to the drive itself? If not, then I'm definitely returning them.
...I really should have just paid the extra $90 and gotten a couple more from newegg.
Hm. Interesting reply from the seller. I guess I'll try to format them and see what happens.
Huh. The power on count is 9 and the time is 0.0 days. Maybe the dude is legit after all. Still doesn't excuse the packaging, of course.
I understand your concern. We open all drives, check the smart...
