Well that's sucktastic.

Not really. Surprisingly CD-ROMS in the local retail stores charge as much as $40 for a brand name. Cheap name is like $20-25. I got this for $8.98. Best price for used elsewhere was about $15 before shipping. This ended at 3:30am hence the reason i got it so cheap.

Ok, $8.98 is better than the $25 or so I'd get one for. I've never used ebay, I don't trust other people enough.

Damn it. If I had known you needed an inexpensive one, I have two or three collecting dust in my basement right now.

The best I can suggestive is to give him a bad satisfaction rating. While he has your money and your drive, you're pretty much at his mercy.

Isn't that a little, you know, sexist?

I haven't even read this post yet. All I saw was "mr_gabagool" and "Ebay", and though "Oh no."
