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.

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...

Example current 14px vs 16px...

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...

Marketplace can be a rather frustrating place , i was selling one of my condos in bkk 2 bed 1 bathroom for 1750000 baht ,had 1100 clicks and maybe 200 messages 100% asked for discounts without even wanting to view it , i took the ad down and relisted 3 months later for 2250000 thinking it would eliminate the tyre kickers , it did somewhat . i showed it to a grand total of 3 ppl ,the 3rd of which asked for a discount which i said yes to ,reduced it by 50000 baht and sold for 2200000 . I couldn't believe it to be honest . Lesson learnt increase the price and someone might just take the bait .  

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.

I have recently sold both a desktop Mac, a Macbook pro, and my gals PCX to Thais. Very pleasant folks. Straight, easy to deal with, and met when we were supposed to meet. For all the generalizations we see on here, there are alot of sincere, hard working, very decent Thais, also. I would say the vast majority.

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.

"Stuff for sale in Pattaya" FB group is a good one.

Thanks, I've just joined that one now.

Just add price for Thais X2.

You know I might try that.  Maybe a comparison table with 10x the price for Thais vs "others".

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.

If anyones still interested here a couple of pictures...

That is not an Advice shop, I'm particularly looking for the Advice shop

 

This is what google maps tells me, but I don't see anything in streetview, and I was yesterday in that area and didn't see anything either.

I saw the shop last week.  It's now this building on streetview...

TOT doesn't make anything easy.  

???? They did fall at the first hurdle when I tried using their website to check coverage at my address.  The answer was... ไม่สามารถติดต่อระบบได้ในขณะนี้

I'll see if I can motivate myself enough to visit their office in person.

Thanks!

While on the subject of TOT/Pattaya-Jomtien, I have no option, my building allows TOT only (fiber).  For my first year and a half, I did the pre-pay 1gb down which was close to B1000/m.  Maybe one service interruption every month or two, otherwise fine.  I use it for internet and video streaming.  

This year I decided to try downgrading to 300mb down, about B300/m prepay for a year but upgradeable anytime.  It's actually been just about as good as the 1gb.  I haven't experienced any buffering when streaming Netflix or YouTube and web pages open as they did previously. No noticeable differences really.  For my needs, 1gb turned out to be unnecessary.

I've a question if you don't mind dddave...

I'm in the same situation where my condo ISP choices are TOT(NT) or 3BB.  I'm thinking of the NT 300/300 which is half the price of the cheapest from 3BB.

How long did it take them to install and did you have to pay an installation fee with TOT?  My condo told me fibre only goes as far as the ground floor then would use the phone lines up to my room.

Also, I've been googling and can't find an official rep / Line / Facebook page in Pattaya for NT (3BB have stores in Central Festival plus others).  How did you contact them to place the order?

Yep, I noticed the exact same thing.

I left Pattaya 6 months ago for Chiang Mai.  Bolt in CM is a waste of time (no cars available or 25 minute wait for them to arrive).  I was looking forward to returning to Pattaya and being able to use Bolt again.

I've been back a week and journeys that used to be 60 baht are now 100-120.

This is Nov22 vs last week.  Taken from Tops Supermarket about 6.5km in a straight line from the temple.

It's got worse since then.  I've been here since the start of November and yesterday and today have been the worst so far. 

At a distance of 6km, Doi Suthep was completely invisible.   My AQ monitor was reading 220 yesterday morning on my balcony.

Note to op....

All Rim Pings are not the same....You might want to invest some time exploring the ones around you....

Some have full butcher & bakery counters with good food assortment & services to match....

Others are like a mini Rim Ping+......

You might have to pick and choose through a few stores given your cooking, transport, and storage limitations....

Check out the CM FB expat groups as there's a few farang specialized food vendors....Almost everything can be delivered....

You might also want to consider a microwave, elec. oven, or other (electric) preparation options....

Thanks, I've been in CM for a month but just today got an air fryer, so I can cook "food from home" type stuff again.  Apartment already included fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster.

Pattaya had Siamburis, The Pantry and the Britshop mentioned above that all did free home delivery.  Looks like CM doesn't really have anything comparable.  I will ask on Facebook though ????

There is a shop called Britishop in Ban Lamung, and I believe that they can ship to anywhere in Thailand.

I am not sure if is of any help to you, but they do have a large selection of stock.

Yeah I did have a look at them, thanks.  But as you say it would need delivering from Pattaya area.  I hoped someone entrepreneurial might have started the same kind of thing locally here.

Siamburis (aka expatfoodsthailand) also deliver to Chiang Mai.  Of the two I think Siamburis have better range & prices.

So what are you going to do with any food you buy online, Lotus's, Makro, Tops, Siambury's  etc etc?

I have a fridge/freezer and a sink on the balcony.  That's it.
