    There is no reason to describe anyone as scum here, especially if all (they say) they are doing is buying and selling to make a profit. Does anyone else think everyone who sells things on eBay for more than they paid for it is scum?

    Apart from the drive being 250gb, the rest of the description could make people think they were old stock dell were trying to get rid of. For a start they were advertised as Fire Wire drives (ok they had usb as well but the ad was fire wire) there are possibly people posting here that possibly didn't/don't know what fire wire is as USB2 came and virtually killed it. The spec states win98, etc, but no vista also the minimum spec states a pentium 300mhz.

    Could be very reasonable to assume its a good price for an older external hard drive.

    This is as well as the fact that 250gb is becoming more and more old news.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    I think it will end in "It's gone. But was it any good?"

    Anyone who is a regular on this forum should know that people who have to scrabble to earn a living are scum. If you don't have a shed load of cash and have to rely on finding great deals to make a living then you are obviously not the sort of person that most MSErs want to mix with. In short, you are TRADE, and therefore to be avoided at all costs.
    To make it easy in future can the sort of person who will actually gain as a result of finding a bargain on MSE please get stuffed, and leave the deals for those of us to whom it will make absolutely no financial difference whatsoever.
    Cheers :)
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.

    It was the butler who did it with the candlestick to the reverend
    A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
    the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

    great deduction, but where? MSE forum presumably, it certainly attracts both the good and the bad
