I feel like all these hardware shortages will supercharge 2nd hand electronics and their refurbishing from repair specialists.

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.

No big loss here: Sony memory cards have always been massively overpriced.

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.
