Hello! Providing Purchase Feedback:
I purchased a Pioneer BDR-209BK OEM (Bulk) @ BDR-211UBK 1.53 - mfd. July 2018 – €350 ($400) [NOS, in the original packaging] from skyrider and the experience went well!
skyrider provided me with plenty of information (pictures and screenshots) about the drive and its firmware and promptly shipped it.
I received the drive, and have tested it by ripping DVDs, Blurays and UHD discs and it has been working very well.
(FYI this was my first Pioneer experience and I have found it to be much quieter in operation than various LGs plus the drive tray produces a more satisfying 'thunk' when closing.)
All in all I've had a positive experience and would consider doing business with skyrider again.
