Default turbo advice

hello,

quick question when buying a turbo why when you look are there loads for sale brand new for naff all money on ebay, like £220 are they rubbish i presume? as other that look like the same spec can be 5 times that price

also im new to forced induction so take it easy but an external wastegate what are the advantages to this?

and how do you choose spec a turbo for what you want?

thanks for any input
