Remember that the $45 is with shipping. So I am really selling the drive for about $35-40.
Oh, you are really selling the drive for $35, are you? If someone actually wanted to buy this drive, what would he write on his check? $35 or $45? So, tell me again, for how much are you selling this drive?
By the way, all those prices I listed for new drives also include shipping.

Thank you cfitz
Sarcasm noted. Of course, for what it is worth, I don't want your thanks. I am happy to have potentially helped someone avoid being cheated out of his or her hard-earned money.
Aztechya, had you offered a fair price to begin with, I never would have posted to this thread and asked for clarification in the first place.
Had you offered a reasonable explanation for your asking price (it is a SCSI drive, it is an external drive, etc), I wouldn't have replied with my second post. Instead, you chose to reply flippantly.
Had you not tried to speciously justify your unreasonable price by quoting a
hugely over-inflated price pulled from out of the Internet ether, I would not have clearly and unequivocally stated that your drive is not worth your asking price.
If I interfered with your plans to foist off an outdated drive at an inflated price to some unsuspecting consumer, I am not sorry.
If you don't like the way this thread turned out, you have no one but yourself to blame.

I wonder if the new 52x Lite-On has any special powers? Maybe we will see a new section in Ian's reviews: Magical Powers...
