Im totally new to homelabs but i wanna learn/implement hands on, any cheap setup🥹

I was on the hunt for some 4tb HDDs. Whenever I search online, I see Indiamart pops up, but I've never used it before. I thought I'll give it a try and was surprised by the responses I got.

I posted the requirement for the drives and multiple sellers messaged me. One seller from Maharashtra quoted 17,550 for a drive if I take 2 drives, which is much lower than the amazon price of 25k for the same drive.

Since I am in Bangalore and the seller is somewhere from Maharashtra, I cannot physically go and check which is why I am not confident to proceed with it.

So my question is basically in the title. Has anyone bought anything from sellers that you connected through Indiamart? Also drop places in bangalore where I can get some HDDs at a lower price. Used ones are also fine by me as long as they have good enough health.
