Was watching a TF item on ebay.com and asked seller if he would ship outside US so he gives me a quote for $20 which is reasonable.

Item ended a few minutes ago and I found out I couldnt bid on it because he hadnt put me on exemption... jeez.

I've had that happen to me as well dude.

If the Auction passed through without any bids, I suggest approaching the Seller and offering an external purchase of the item.
This has worked for me a couple of times and the Sellers were really good about the whole thing as they are able to sell their item and not have to pay so many fees.

Need to find a new cheap hard drive. Any recommendations? 1tb portable.

Try this website to search for the cheapest place to get hardware it searches multiple computer stores. The more details you know the more easier to find.

I don't think MSY is the cheapest anymore. And my experience with them is service is non existent. But if you know what you want and are just going by price, then who really cares about service. Not sure whether they sell dodgy 2nd hand stuff though...

Also, by portable I assume you mean not requiring external power supply? I think some of the hd suggested already, require the external casing to having external power supply.

Thanks, guys. I just really hate maxtor from DSE. It failed in less than a year and i need to have it shipped to their warehouse in the city in special packaging (extra cost again) and then they'll ship it to singapore for replacement. Where's the one year in house warranty? If it failed after a year, then I'll go for the manufacturer's warranty.

What they said was not all items have the 1 year warranty with the store.
How was I supposed to know that when I bought it at the store?

At work I got yelled at by a customer because the EFTPOS was down, even though it was at the ANZ's end that was down.
Then got told we should have one of those old credic card press machines they used to have like 10-20 years ago.
Some how it was my fault she also didn't have any cash. So she threw the bag of chocolates back at me and stormed off.
Fat bitch needed to lay off the chocolates anyway, so I think we did her waist a favor

Dude, her throwing the chocolates at you constitutes assault if they hit you....you shouldn't have to put up with that sort of behaviour.If she comes back into the store, refuse to serve her and ask her to leave the premises or you will call the police..

Speaking of internet connections, I just believe how easy it is here in HK. I went into a Vodafone store, bought a wireless router for HK$380 (approx AU$50) which includes the plan, went home and in 15mins I had wireless connection which is just a fraction slower than my Optus one back in AU. HK$99 (approx AU$12.90) per month, unlimited bandwidth. Internet in AU used to cost me 5 times as much.
