2nd hand is up massively already. Built a ssd nas with eBay parts in mid 2025 and everything is up 100ish percent

Only 100%? I'm seeing SSDs going for about 400% what I paid in 2024.
Old 2nd hand enterprise drives on ebay have seen pretty modest increases.

Actually just went through my purchase history and its even lower than I thought. 37% inc versus May '25.

Pretty niche crowd that is down for building a NAS out of drives that have had long lives already. Basically only people with grasp on zfs redundancy & willingness to accept the risk of SSDs with heavy use but enterprise endurance.
