Because there’s a rather high likelihood that the HDD has been mistreated and will fail soon, it’s a gamble. Or at least I’ve had bad experiences with used hard drives personally.
If you the seller has warranty and you don’t mind the hassle of shipping back and possibly paying for the return shipping and pray that everything goes smoothly and you actually get the money back or a working replacement then it can be a good option, I personally rather not go through all that stress.
