Keith/Chris, you could pretty easily put this all to rest if you write up a howto or something.
I honestly don't think anyone is going to undercut your ebay sales because...
After basically being treated like piss the first time around I felt no need to contribute any info on my cd rom fix especially to the people who were rude to me in the first place(who seem to be the same ones who keep asking me about it).
No one was initially rude to you, it was only after we found out you were gouging and then lying about it.
... I'm fairly certain that anyone that does the math ($55 minus $ebay minus $paypal minus $parts = $shit/hr) is not going to want to compete. Definitely doesn't qualify as gouging unless peeps are expecting you to work for free.
Instead of taking the easy way out, turn this into an opportunity. Lemons into lemonade, right?
