Item Wanted: 1TB 2.5" internal hard drives (laptop size) - USED but 100% healthy
Packaging Essential: Some bubble-wrapping preferred
Desired Age: Doesn't matter
Location: PRETORIA
Willing to accept a shipped item: NO, rather not on hard drives. Gauteng only
Ballpark/Budget Amount: Let's talk
I run a video game console repair business in Pretoria North and I use quite a lot of 2.5" hard drives as replacements in Playstation and Xbox consoles on a regular basis. It varies a lot, but I guess I use on average around 10-15 drives every month. Clients are mainly looking for 1TB size these days, though I do require 500GB as well now and again.
I need to find a new supplier to buy quality, 100% healthy used drives from for a reasonable price. Consoles are very finicky when it comes to hard drive storage and so the drives can't have bad or weak sectors. The amount of use on them doesn't really matter though, so as long as they are at 100% health and don't report any bad sectors in HDD Sentinel we should be good (reports for each drive required).
Ideally, if I can find someone locally (JHB/PTA) who can supply me on a regular basis, that would be great. I can then drive through once a month and buy what I need. If the seller is located very far from me (Jhb south for example), we might still be able to make it work by meeting up half-way, if seller agrees. Let's talk.
I am also open to one-off deals from members selling a single or multiple drives. My main concerns with this however are time and fuel spent - I cannot, for example, drive to JHB from PTA every day to buy a single drive at a time. I have no problem spending time and money to go buy 10 drives at a time, but for one-off deals with only a single drive or two, the seller would have to deliver them to me for it to be worth my time unfortunately. We can always work something into the price if seller agrees to deliver. I see plenty of sales here on Carb from sellers selling 1-3 drives at a time, and I probably would have bought half of them if not for the issue of logistics. So if you have a drive or two to sell and are willing to bring them to me in northern Pretoria, please contact me.
If you have what I need, please PM me! GAUTENG ONLY though, not going to risk buying couriered hard drives unless seller agrees for payment to be made only AFTER I receive and test (click click click
). This is not my first rodeo, been in business for 15 years.
