Yes, probably should have seen that coming to be fair. Especially since the A1297s are so prone to failure.

It's just that confirmed working ones are still so goddamn expensive and I kinda wanted to have one but not enough to drop 200€ on it

Rule of thumb when buying electronics (or anything for that matter) is buy it cheap, buy it twice.

Nervously looks at the 10€/TB refurbished drives that just arrived

70€ isn't cheap for a laptop from 2011, to me at least...

But I get what you mean, 10€ per TB sounds too good to be true :D

PS3s regularly go for €115 so I guess it's not that surprising. It's about demand, if a lot of people want one then it doesn't really matter how old it is.
