I've had great experiences with exactly one vendor of second hand disks.
Currently running 8x14TB in a striped & mirrored zpool.

I wish this was an option for Europe. Once you slap VAT and shipping, you end up paying more than for new disks. :(

I can proxy for you.
They don’t charge me tax and only $15 shipping. Then shipping within the EU is 15 euros max

How does this work, some loophole or a business customer? You can drop some info in a private message if you don’t f feel like posting in public. Re server part deals, I am not sure if this is always the case, but the current selection of disks is 90% helium (Exos etc) HDDs, a few IronWolfs which are too large (20TB) and basically that’s it. My DIY NAS is unfortunately in the apartment and I’m reluctant to try He disks due to the intensive sound profile.
