You know you can buy another hard drive for like 50 bucks...
For example:

But if you he must sell it, I don't know if they'll check but even if they do you will still get decent money for it. As they'll probly take out the Hard Drive and sell it without one.

They'll check for it to make sure that it's working. Plus, they need to delete any private info that he might have on the PS3, such as his ID and password to PSN.
If the hard drive is broken, he won't get credit for it. Just tell him that you want to buy it from him, and he'll get a better deal from you than he'll get from GS. GS has a policy of buying really low and selling really high.
You don't need to fix it yourself. Just take out the hard drive and put in a new one.
