[SCAM] Lot of 80pcs Lenovo P4610 6.4TB U.2 SSDPE2KE064T8L

[nabsltd]

Current bid is around $200, no reserve: Lot of 80pcs Lenovo P4610 6.4TB U.2 NVMe PCIe 2.5 SSD SSDPE2KE064T8L SSS7A23370 | eBay

Buy them all outside eBay for $15,600 ($195 each), although the link in the auction is broken.

If anybody needs 512TB of U.2 drives, this is it. I only saw this because it triggered my alert for a 6.4TB under $350.

EDIT: Since I wasn't going to bid on this, I didn't do any research to see if it was legit.

This looks suspicious. While the URL has ebay in it, it does not end in ebay.com.

Bruh. Never share auctions. The more an auction is shared the higher the price will be. This has plenty of eyes on it already so it will inevitably end at thousands of dollars but still. Now some resseler that monitors sth will just grab it and trickle them out.

Edit: I don't know what RDshift is in about but it does look like a bought scam account. From pillows to items worth thousands of dollars one day to the other. Weird
Also it used to be in the UK and now all items are listed in the US.


EDIT2: just read the description. Yup it's a scam.

this is a fake
another fake auction - LOT OF 500: 256GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD - Internal Solid State Drives Major Brands | eBay
yesterday there were about 10+ of them

Eventually, all auctions will be canceled

Yeah this account popped up with a ton of auctions for all sorts of wild stuff. Was entertaining to look through it all but I agree that it indeed seems very suspicious... One of the auctions was for a cement mixer I think? Free delivery on a massive machine! What a cool pawn shop to have gotten that along with industrial cooking appliances! Lol.

I guess the scam is to get you to "buy it now" off eBay and run with the money.

It's a pretty common scam - compromise an account with a high seller rating, post a whole lot of auctions with titles and photos scraped from prior real auctions, direct people to pay a price unrelated to the auction via some method outside of ebay. They tend to blow up a lot of my saved searches so I report a few, eventually eBay notices and removes everything.

 

[Koop]

Makes sense. At first I thought it was some cool stuff but once I saw the literal industrial machinery I was like ooook this ain't right lol

Also like a zillion auctions posted at the same time.

 

[Kahooli]

I looked at the auction and other items before reading the whole thread. yea this is definitely a scam.

Looks like stolen account. There are many of these in eBay.

Reported to Ebay.

Just as a thought experiment, how would I even run 80 pieces of U.2?

For homelab tier prices? 2x 2028R-NR48N. 48 nvme drives each. Takes v4 procs.

I like one of their other ones better: 8pcs Micron 7450 PRO 15.36TB 2.5 U.3 PCIe 4.0 - 8pcs Micron 7450 PRO 15.36TB 2.5 U.3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Solid State Drive SSD New | eBay

Considering everything else they've been selling, i'm guessing the account got compromised.

Woah. What an awesome machine. How come I never noticed this?

That's a problem for future you

It's most likely a hijacked account or the owner decided to branch out from selling botanical seed balls into a full on scam.

Yeah, this vendor popped up when I was looking for VMware Edge units... they had a lot of 97 of them. Then I started looking at their other auctions and seeing a whole bunch of items with images from other sellers.... that's when the bullsh*t detector went off. Definitely compromised account.

 

[Damo]

How do you set an alert like what you said "6.4TB under $350" use a tool??

 

[Damo]

Complete scam for sure, just look at all the accounts reviews it's for gardening seeds. Now it has hundreds of high value items listed. Wonder how well this works for the scammer, how can ebay take this long to see a huge red flag...

 

[Samir]

...how can ebay take this long to see a huge red flag...

They make a percentage so not in their favor to take scams down. Win-win for ebay and scammer.
