Seems to be the going price for open box/refurb. New is only $10-15 more.
I can see the listings you see on ebay are generally new pulls from laptops that most likely upgraded to ssd.
While they are most likely not scams, you have a big headache on warranty claims if you should have a defect or damage during shipping. There would be none from the manufacturer, just at the mercy of the seller's policies. Buy from a seller with history of selling the same product and read feedback.
Just make sure the hdd is 9.5mm in thickness, any bigger and it will not fit.
I wouldn't bother over $10 versus a one day amazon prime purchase but if you choose to go the ebay route knowing the risks of the possible headaches, shoot.
almost missed the thickness part you said ty for tips
i do have amazon prime but not once have i purchased anything there
ty all for opinions i should be able to make a decision now knowing what i do now
