Cheapest 18tb enterprise drive around and beats the 16tb model in price per GB. I have two 16tb's from two years ago, and just ordered two of these.
CamelCamelCamel.
ROI never
shows me $365.76 after GST and shipping.
nvm, after conversion of all those it comes down to your AUD quote amount.
Exactly which works out as $505 Aussie landed.
Personally I would get the same drive from Hong Kong for $290 USD landed via FedEx or $401AUD through the Group Buy seller. YMMV.

Why was it private message-only :(
from an international eBay store
*Similar price from that eastdigitalhk seller even without additional group buy discount with eBay US GST
Wonder if the invoices per the forum are excluding GST for cheaper prices ($328 USD + $5 shipping [+ $33.5 USD GST applied over whole charge) + additional group buy discount
direct eBay via AU + GST amounts to AUD $506

bym007 bravely purchased 14 drives!
Nice that they also detail manufacturing batches and handle RMAs with prepaid return posting labels

How is nobody concerned about this seller?
@justtoreply: As I posted in the forum, I believe the GB participants didn't had any complaints so far.
Reasons I shop with them, 1.) Their ebay feedback and rating is quite good, which means they provide genuine products and good service; 2.) I have good experience myself; 3.) HDDs are cheaper enough.
Can you share with us what is your concern?
I am not the seller (or associated with seller). I am a buyer and organised the GB.
Since the ebay item is not really cheap after GST & ebay fee and there is actually no discount code etc, so I didn't post it as a deal in OzB.
I reached out it ebay store seller offline to make a deal and I had a good experience, so it was just an idea to organise the GB to further bring down the price. Thanks to OzB members, the GB is successful.
Currently-available matching price appears to be for a third-party store on Amazon US
*rather than Amazon US directly as the title per standard formatting may imply.
Camelcamelcamel also tracked the price as "3rd Party New"
The title wasn't meant to be deceptive, it was to show it was from the Amazon US website, and shipped from the US.
Thanks op. Added one to my chia farm. Going to be a 'chia billionaire' :). https://youtu.be/UG7zLhEWanc
