How are Donor Drives Priced?

I'm very curious to understand how donor drives are priced. I'm seeing drives from 2012 Made in Thailand being priced less than a drive made in 2014 made in the same country.

I don't know why I was thinking that they are being priced by how old they are what country their made in, but I cant seem to figure it out.

Does anyone have any ideas on how these companies that sell donor drives are pricing the drives? Do they just randomly price them?

The less common and/or higher demand drives are likely to cost more than others.

Yah that makes sense, but what im curious about is how they know which drives are more or less common? Just by searching online to see if there are any listed? Then they jack up the price?

Reason I got so curious was that this week I need two donor drives and both drives I needed were around $289 for the specific one I had. But the same drive made the same year with a different DCM was $129.00.

This always spiked my interest tbh.

I assume its from what luke said, but it's weird how they can do it so perfectly.
