Going on the general basis that if something looks too good to be true it probably is, then I'm not sure I'd be sending money and the postage is £20 but even so it might be worth a punt. It isn't like it is clearly an auction for the box or anything, it does specify that it is a hard drive.

£20 p&p +VAT and the potential of import duty on top of all that...

Not that much of a saving really.

EDIT: Also it's coming from the States so where do returns go?
