In fact if I log out of my Amazon account they re-appear for sale.
And the equipment I bought arrived.
It's a joke, but I hope it happens to everyone.

I was quite excited during this process, to be honest. We went in and out of the box 😁

This is why I recommend anyone who are planning to purchase a used Mac Pro 2019, to first consider the installed internal storage size. All other upgrades are fairly easy to do at a later time. Except for the Radeon Pro W6900x, which is at least as difficult to find as the 8TB kit.


I suggest you keep an eye on this ebay seller in United Arab Emirates. He has brand new kits for sale at times.
I purchased my 8TB kit from him. Highly recommended.
You will have to pay import duties when it arrives at the customs. I appreciate that, in light of my resent import woes from the US.

US customers will probably have better options within the US

Ordering from ebay US, is no longer an option for me. Starting this year, the carriers have billed me the tax plus fee. Despite the fact that ebay calculate the tax, and included it in the purchase.
I just got a package that is being returned to the seller. I contacted the carrier, and requested them to check, as I already paid the tax.
Seems the ebay agent that exports the goods, doesn't do the electronic registration correctly.
And my ebay bill and bank reciept does not help :( They will not even look at it.

This is precisely the fate of Turkey's geography... When you try to buy anything and everything from abroad, the tax (tribute) is 1.5 times the price of the product. The seller is already withholding tax. PayPal is banned, Ebay is banned, there was alibaba and they went through it. In short, the philosophy is that you don't buy anything from outside, you buy from the immoral shopkeepers in the country.

When I found these kits on amazon, it was like a miracle for me. If you look at what I have already written, you will understand how cautious and trusting I am. People in this damn place have unfortunately brought us to this state.

What is very interesting is that this time the product (ssd kit) is sold here (in Turkey) at a price that can be called free compared to outside...

How ironic and a joke...

Be sure that I did not share the product here to my environment (except 1-2 very close friends). Because if the unscrupulous tradesmen hear this, they will melt the stocks and put them in the ad at 1500 usd. I'm serious about this.

I hope everyone has the best. All I want is for everyone to live happily and peacefully and complete their lives without needing anyone...

Regards...
