Hehe  *sniff*  You hurt my feelings... NOT.  

You're telling me that the statement below isn't accusatory, and I quote:

: What's the real story here,  is it really an ide drive that you're
: trying to get "new" price for.  You probably think you're protecting
: yourself from legal action by advertising it as an ultra scsi-3 / ultra
: ata drive. Think again buddy.  If you're trying to screw somebody, it'll
: always come back on you.

If you have questions of comments, it could have been taken care of with a
quick PRIVATE email.  This accusation on a PUBLIC forum is unwarrented.  I
never said you CAN'T do anything here, I just said you should think about
it before doing it.

As for for my paying SCSI prices for an EIDE drive.  I don't know what to
tell you.  It LOOKED like a good deal when I bought it.  Like I said, if
you think its fishy, all you have to do is come take a look at it.
That's why I advertised it locally, not nationally, so whoever buys it 
can see the drive before paying for it.  My original post said "local
pick-up or you pay shipping".  Since I advertised it locally, I don't
think anyone will want me to ship it, unless they really really wanted me 
to.  It's definitely not an EIDE, and its not like I can hide the 
interface. Would you not have publically accused me if I set the price of
the drive to $320.00 instead of $220.00?  I did OWN it, I just never used
it because I couldn't.  How much does pre-owned hardware run anyways?  I'd
be lucky to get 60% of the value.  It just like used cars.  It depriciates
with each owner.  And I am an individual and not a business.  The price I
set is FAIR.  If you think a higher amount is fair, then by all means make
me a higher offer.  I probably wouldn't refuse a HIGHER offer.  I never
had anyone complain before because the price I set was too low.  Usually I
see flames saying "so and so sells it cheaper NEW".  Should I be more
careful in the future and not underprice any hardware, or else risk having
someone think it's "fishy"?

You can just add .nospam to your address and the spam mail will never
reach you.  As for leaving your name and address, please do so.  So I
wouldn't have to publically answer you every time.  Regardless, can we
have our future discussions PRIVATELY.  Don't forget to include your
e-mail address, so I can reply.  8).  Cya.
