  1. I can't remember the exact wording form Seagate, but if you buy "retail" from an official supplier then the warranty is from purchase date as long as you can supply a receipt (maybe you even have to register to start the warranty online with them). But the AliExpress / overseas suppliers would 100% be classed as OEM and these warranties start when Seagate supplies to the re-seller.
  2. I don't think they're fake, but are they genuinely new and unused? I did some research on Ironwolfs being sold on Aliexpress last year. Some of the reviews showed serial numbers and I was able to do a warranty check from Seagate. Being as the Pro versions are supposed to come with 5 year warranty, the 3 drives I checked were all around 2 years into their 5 year warranty. Possibly they've been sat on a shelf for 2 years, but then again maybe they've been running 24/7. As they were pretty much half the official new price you have to suspicious I think. I decided not to take a chance. The 3 in the pictures here were warranty checked in June 2023...
  3. The discount in the OP says " (discount from 500 THB per time) until your next visa renewal." The offer was for 3 or 4 90 days reports following the visa renewal, but apparently has been rescinded after only the first 90 day report.
  4. Example current 14px vs 16px...
  5. The font size did decrease around a day or 2 after the forum was updated. I noticed the smaller size around 3 days ago I think. I'm finding it hard to read on my laptop screen. I checked the .css and the default font-size is now 14 pixels. If I manually set it to 16px it looks like I remember before, and it's much nicer/easier to read...
  6. For good views I'd suggest to have a look at The Vision condo. I haven't stayed there myself so can't comment on rooms sizes etc, but it's right at the top of Pratumnak hill so should get good views. There's a couple of videos that show the views here:- Also nearby is this 2 bedroom in Peak Towers looks great but the 25k baht rent was during covid times so probably back to 30k or more now...
  7. Thanks, luckily in my case I'm selling much lower value stuff - Desktop PC, TV etc. In England I just use eBay and the mix of messages from genuine buyers to time wasters/scammers is about 50/50.
  8. I've zero problem selling / replying to messages from Thais. In fact as I type this I remember in 2017 I sold an electric Wok to a Thai guest house owner in Chiang Mai????. He messaged, we arranged to meet and he collected all within about 2 hours. HOWEVER:- In the past 12 months I've listed 5 items on FB marketplace (in CM and Pattaya). I must have had 30+ messages from Thais, to which I always reply but 95%+ never respond. Of my 5 listings, 3 have sold, 1 to a girl from UK, 1 to a Korean and 1 to a Russian.
  9. Thanks, I've just joined that one now.
  10. You know I might try that. Maybe a comparison table with 10x the price for Thais vs "others".
  11. Hi All, I've listed a couple of items I'm trying to sell second hand in Pattaya on facebook Marketplace. So far I've had plenty of enquires but they've 95% been tyre kickers. When I was in Chiang Mai I was able to sell a couple of things through local buy/sell/swap type English speaking FB groups. Does anyone know any similar groups I could try posting to in this area (Pattaya)? Currently 100% of the enquiries I've had from Thais on Marketplace have been time wasters.
  12. And the first six are all owned by someone called Steve - just sayin'
  13. If anyones still interested here a couple of pictures...

    Recommended 75" TV

    As a "value conscious" buyer I'm very happy with the 65" TCL I got last month. It was the cheapest 4K HDR I could find that had Android OS (Google TV). I paid 12,200 for the 65". They do a 75" version but that's about 50% more expensive. It's QLED (not OLED) but the blacks are darker than any other LED TV or monitor I've had, although I've never seen an OLED in real life to compare. I got it from TCL official store on Lazada. Price changes pretty much every day depending on what voucher or sale available... 65" - https://www.lazada.co.th/products/tcl-65-led-4k-uhd-google-tv-wifi-65t635-googlenetflix-youtube-voice-search-edgeless-design-dolby-audiohdr10chromecast-built-in-i4049172327-s15763647164.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3A%3Bnid%3A4049172327%3Bsrc%3AlazadaInShopSrp%3Brn%3A42a29d3b50eacc9d0f0beae41958d068%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A4049172327_TH%3Bprice%3A16690%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A100190115%3Bpromotion_biz%3A%3Basc_category_id%3A4364%3Bitem_id%3A4049172327%3Bsku_id%3A15763647164%3Bshop_id%3A216356&fastshipping=0&freeshipping=1&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=en&location=&price=1.669E 4&priceCompare=&ratingscore=4.959595959595959&request_id=42a29d3b50eacc9d0f0beae41958d068&review=99&sale=401&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.store_product.list.i40.39e13dbfN59ozX&stock=1 75" - https://www.lazada.co.th/products/tcl-75-led-4k-uhd-google-smart-tv-75p63575p637-google-netflix-youtube-voice-search-dolby-audiohdr10chromecast-built-in-i4126170850-s16171566035.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3A%3Bnid%3A4126170850%3Bsrc%3AlazadaInShopSrp%3Brn%3A469298acb622271e08c6a6a0795099e0%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A4126170850_TH%3Bprice%3A23190%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A100190115%3Bpromotion_biz%3A%3Basc_category_id%3A4364%3Bitem_id%3A4126170850%3Bsku_id%3A16171566035%3Bshop_id%3A216356&fastshipping=0&freeshipping=1&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=en&location=&price=2.319E 4&priceCompare=&ratingscore=4.847222222222222&request_id=469298acb622271e08c6a6a0795099e0&review=72&sale=245&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.store_product.list.i79.39e13dbftonIWg&stock=1
