Personally I don't think your post is appropriate in this forum. If you are not interested in the item then don't kill someone else's sale.
Also, I've yet to see anyone sell a new, late production date, -853 changer for $150. I think you are just slightly exaggerating. It retails for $501.91. No BMW dealer is going to give you 40% off list.
Finally, CD's have numerous advantages in sound quality over ipod's, MP3 players, etc. so adding that info to the post makes zero sense.
In short, be nice otherwise what goes around...

You'll never see the price you are asking.. Maybe $200..
Why? Because you are comparing dealer/OEM prices most likely using RealOEM.com.. No one here (or anywhere I've ever seen) pays those prices..People come here for BARGAINS, just like they do on ebay. Here's one of the $299 "regulars" on ebay as a point of comparison: BMW 6 SIX DISC CD CHANGER PLAYER 2000-2006 X5 PACKAGE - eBay (item 310135309203 end time Apr-19-09 15:18:59 PDT)
Our sponsors will sell the exact same unit for 1/2 your asking price. Ebay has pages of folks who have converted from CD to DICE or Intravee or some other audio that requires the 6 and 12 pin connector, which effectively kills using the CD ever again..
So please, please, don't be upset with me..but do some research. I'm sure your CD changer is PERFECT, it's simple a matter of supply and demand.
Good luck..and if you are willing to wait for someone who doesnt do their due diligence to offer you your price, you might catch a "fish" and frankly I hope you are successful.. But I am just trying to give you some FRIENDLY advice having been on this and the E46Fanatics boards for a long time, as well as a buyer and seller on eBay.
Good luck friend.. and best wishes for your sale.. 
PS. I dont know why my reply came out twice..I even tried to cancel one, but no luck..sorry about the duplicate
