I think Fr.50 is too much for an external DVD reader and writer esp. for a 2nd hand, older one.

Update:
I see the price has been changed from (Fr.50) to a more reasonable price (Fr.30).
The comment above; I meant well for those who might buy it. Why are there groans?

Response2:

I edited my post, bec. I noticed it had caused a misunderstanding.
My intention was not to prevent you from selling, but protect people who might be paying too much for your items.
Some of your items are overpriced when I checked them on Amazon: sold at around the new price, even if they are used.
(ex. PSP games, check individual titles)

I wanted to protect/do a favor for alfred007, bec. he had bought several items from me, but heavily bargained.
I was going to give him my Sony DVD reader & writer for free, not sell it to him.
I have only one, so there will surely be others who will be interested in purchasing your items.

I didn't want to write a clarification to my original post (above), but now it seems you give me no other choice.
If you had a problem, you could have pmed me and I would have been glad to explain or maybe even edit my post, but your
remarks and actions have forced me to be defensive.

Yes, I did check the make and model on Amazon and it is an older DVD reader & writer.
Newer ones from Liteon are 22x not 16x.
It is no longer sold by Amazon, but there is only one available through another store for Fr.86 (=$79*1.086).
I can give you the exact Amazon link if you are interested.

If the price of your item is now Fr.30, rather than Fr.50, then it is fair.
If the item is used, you should expect only to receive half, but Fr.50 is not half of Fr.86..
In principle, Fr.40 would have also been reasonable.

I have no intention to call you names...
Hkang, stop editing, un-editing editing your post above, just write a new post so people can see an update in the thread

At the end of the day you tried to hijack someones sale whether you or I or others believe in your reasons. Others found it bad form - stop being a busy body in other peoples sales and stick to your own 'multiple' sale/free stuff threads

You deserved my groan but if you want to carry on groaning others because they picked up on your bad netiquette then carry on...
