If anyone can answer that question...they wouldn't be thinking of DRAM prices...they'd be thinking...private islands...
All bubbles burst. Those with patience reap the rewards, those without pay those rewards.
Most likely a scam. Seller just created their account this month and has zero feedback. eBay seems to be chock full of such sellers these days.122.88tb for $4k. PCI express gen 4, listed as new. This is kind of a weird one, too many dollars for me to splash out atm but great price per tb. Might be a good drive for backup or a portable media collection or something, but I wouldn’t want an un-mirrored drive to store anything important.

To me that’s not the red flag for those HP disks. The sales seem to corresponds to real buyers, are recent and for similar items. The middle listing is fairly recent (PM1643), but the first one is an old model (5100 pro).
The red flag to me is that the 3 listings showed up at the same time, with the sane stock of 5, with the same photo of 5 boxes with the labels redacted in the photo. So it doesn’t feel genuine, or might be a bug in their listing.

"This listing was ended by the seller on Tue, Jan 27 at 5:38 AM because there was an error in the listing."
Having dealt with a ransomware recently, a backup computer on the same network and with the same credentials than the primary server is as good as no backup. These things propagate from machine to machine if they are online.
I had to go through eBay "Customer Service" because it messed up once for their International Shipping to Denmark and Postnord asked me to pay VAT again.
I had to upload like 10 Files, explain the Situation to at least 5 poorly trained "People" (or at least 5 poorly trained Chatbots) via email and finally got my like 30 EUR of VAT back. Piss poor Experience.
what you can do at least is have a firewall rules to prevent server to server connections of dangerous ports, like RDP on windows or SSH on linux. Likewise, no reason for a server to initiate a connection to your desktop, so firewall rules on your desktop.
I don't think there are any duties anyways.
It's the leeches in the Government charging 160 DKK / 20 EUR or so (at least here in Denmark) and just adding VAT on top of that.
And if it's DHL/UPS they also add like 1% Fees for their "Advance Customs Settlement" or whatever they call it.
That's why when I buy on Aliexpress I sometimes do "small" Orders so that they can fit under 150 EUR and avoid paying 20 EUR extra at Import.
EDIT 1: for Imports from US, I use Jetcarrier, they take care of everything and I just pay Shipping + VAT on the Products, no extra Fees.
For backups you might want to consider Stablebit DrivePool. it has some nice features. I just discovered one recently when I accidentally deleted the partition form a 14TB HD when I had it out for testing in another box. After an O shit moment that seemed to last forever as I contemplated on how to best fix this major goof I put the drive back in it's original server and to my complete surprise and joy, DrivePool began to rebuilt the pool automatically after booting up without me doing anything but stare in disbelief. After the rebuild everything was back to the way it was before. And also, you can remove a single drive from a pool and it automatically renders the entire pool read only. To recover you simply plug the drive back in.
EDIT - Forgot too mention the pool was X2, (Duplicated) had it been X1 I would have been SOL. And FWIW, if a drive in a pool fails you will only lose whats on the one drive, the rest of the pool is safe, but as individual drives and not a pool.
