I'm selling it at the CAG forums. The guy has great CAG and ebay feedback and assured me he'd format it right away. I don't really think I possibly could've saved anything really important on there. Made a few online purchases with a credit card maybe? Should I worry too much about it?
It's an internal drive and I don't have a desktop left, otherwise I'd learn how to format it myself.
Full Version: How safe is it to sell an old hard drive online?
ah . . . no desktop. I could erase it for you if you brought it to my house. sadly I am going to be out of town until the 29th starting tomorrow. If your aprents have a desktop, disconnect all their drives, connect yours, and using DBAN wipe it all.

But, luckily the guy told me he's in no hurry to actively trade me his chipped PS2, which is what I'm getting in exchange for a bunch of old PC parts that I can't find a buyer for, so I told him to wait a month until I'm recovered more from my surgery.
Let me know when you get back, if it's not too much of a hassle for you to take care of it.
Will do.
Oh and inform him that the HDD will be wiped so he won't have to wipe it.
