Thats good if they stick to it.. I went to a market in pune and some guy was selling HDD drives. Some 6 to 8 were 20 GB and few were 40GB. Since he did not know what he is selling he was selling any one for 300Rs. Maybe they are working or may be not. But if it gives a good bargain then probably this could turn out to be a good offer. :clap:

I wanted to sell my 120GB Seagate SATA, but 500 bux is pathetic for it

Edit : @ Chic - These are pathetic company rates "non-negotiable", you'll probabaly get it cheaper on Lammy w/o the discount
