I do not accept requests or negotiations for price reductions. If you attempt to negotiate a price reduction, I will likely assume you have not read the product description, and will block you to prevent any potential trouble. I purchased this on June 10th of this year. There are scratches on the disc part because I was using Lifeline. The condition of the core and other parts is very good, and it's not very noticeable when attached to the bridge, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this.
