Forumer you are complaining against: @super7

Item being sold/bought: Hard Disk

Original thread link: not sure which. he sells quite lots of item.

Date of transaction: 14 March 2016 (amount was only RM110 Tto his hong leong account)

Details of the complaint : bought a hdd from a user named super7, claimed the hdd is used but in working condition.

THE DEALS

I bought a hdd from a user named super7,

the hdd was claimed to be used, but in working condition. *but without proof. i was quite busy that day meeting with some client. so i didnt bother ask the proof if the item is really working. well, ive dealt with other seller. didnt bother to ask for proof of working condition. so far, not having any problems.

really need a hdd to rebuild a pc from my old motherboard for some use.

He agreed to sell it for rm110 with postage to sarawak. I trusted him because he sells considerably lots of used item etc. Ive been buying from garage sales long time, never had any problem before. even with used computer parts. seing a seller with lots of selling thread, doesnt seems to concern me much to doubt the deal.

later on the same day, i transferred a total of RM110 to his hong leong accounts.

POSTAGE

So the as of 15 March, he give me the tracking no, which is EH145563962MY . can still tracked it as of today (22/3/2016) of course it was delivered to me by then. **refer pict below



took quite some time for the tracking info to be shown on poslaju websites. not sure why. possibly remote area i guess or packed?

received the parcel on monday (21/3/2016) around afternoon. took quite some time to receive. opposed to shorter timeframe for me to return it. as poslaju branch was only 5 minutes drive from my workplace i. it took less than a day for him to receive the hdd back. EF659396367MY


RECEIVING



after the long waits, finally received the parcel, right after unwrapping, i was surprised that it is SEAGATE HDD instead of WD brand.

The subject of the pm clearly was "WD 500GB HDD", then only he told me that the WD hdd was out of stock and he sent me the seagate instead. not even bother on telling me first. quite not expecting that sort of behaviour from an *experienced seller* . so i replied, if its working, i dont mind.

come on, im not gonna bother him to post the hdd again just over different brand, not that kind of choosy sort of person . as long as it works for me.

so i just proceed testing it directly since i was at the office.

TESTING

first thing i noticed, the hdd not even spinning up.bios seems very slow respond on detecting hdd. but it managed to get through eventually until desktop.

i asked him why, he said the hdd is set in offline mode. sounds logic to me. right after booted to the desktop, i tried as what he instructed me to. opening a disk management program to set it back online. the hdd not shown there at all. i even checked device manager, nothing!

*refer pict



then he suggested me to try it on other pc. so i tried hook it on different pc, bios took quite some time, boot slower than usual.

once again, opening the disk management. the hdd not shown at first, but after few minutes of refreshing, the somehow listed there, and the capacity shown was only 3.86GB.

*refer pict



RETURNING

As expected, any buyer would do is to return the item if its not working for him to check again. So i just repack the item, and drive straight to poslaju since it is nearby, only 5 minute drives)

RETURNED

So in less than a day, he received the hdd, and straight accuse me "FFK" and "cheating"

*refer to the wtsapp conversation screenshot (uploading)



received a text while i was driving, stopped due to red traffic light. checking text. mannn ! the feeling being called ffk/cheating while driving, really affected driving focus.

so now, he non stop calling me ffk/cheater. been arguing about it till now. threat to report me.
i have nothing to hide/afraid of for the truth. so i just decided post this thread to see if anybody could judge/comment about this or even help me with this. please!

If the hdd really working at the first place, why didnt he send me any proof for the working hdd in the first place?

also, considering my long time being LYN user. why would i risk my rep to cheat him over 500gb hdd?

all im demanding now is either refund me the full amount or send me a working 500gb hdd. thats all!

i never accused him on cheating, but at least, consider what im demanding here, as the hdd really didnt working right after unboxing.

thx

well. i really need a used hdd to use an cope with my middle of the month budget.

i dont know any shop sells used hdd, except the new one.

well.. the story begins, i kinda promised my friends a pc for basic surfing use, so i sort of went build one for him using my old motherboard case, put it all together, guess what, missing one part, hdd.

so, i just took our home pc 160gb hdd away, and left the pc without hdd. hoping getting the 500gb will sort of expand the storage for home pc.

if youre asking me why all the hassle, well. different people, different way on doing things. and not sure why my mind end up making decission like that..

and my sister/family probably gonna went nuts if the pc not working after this school holiday. probably need to borrow someones hdd for a while(which is very unlikely)

long story short, on all of my kindness, donating a pc, end up being caught in such situation.

just assume that i owe him a favour . so it might not much as an act of good deeds, well who care, im giving it rather than sitting in my room collecting dust. but who knows its gonna hit me back like this.

as for backup plans, not really. but there's few last resorts ones. either borrow our my workplace ones, until i get a new one soon. or being *buruk siku* (if you ever heard it, getting back what you give ) we'll see how it goes.

** i understand u sell many hdd, and i respect your rep as hdd seller.

you keep claiming things that im even sure of. hdd mobo? sn number modified? sn run ? render me clueless right there.

i do use hard disk, but not tinker with it.

as the hdd itself cant even start, cant even detect, how come all those thing happen at once?

few things you need to take note of, first i want the wd hdd, not seagate. i would consider if its working. but unfortunately NOT. my usb ext hdd (seagate brand), broke once, thats why i avoid seagate. seen bad review about seagate too. wd been serving long quite long time. thats why i prefer it over seagate. probably personal opinion, im entitle to my own choice right or am i not?

second, i dont even bring the hdd home. test at office pc, two different pc. still not working / spin. cant hear any tiny vibration as it should.

as agreed, i returned the hdd to you for you to check. even went out to poslaju office to pos it few hours later. same day.

if i do have bad intention, i wouldve at least bring it home first. but heck, what im gonna do with it? i cant event get it working/starting .

wouldnt you think of any damage caused during transport? but you already came up with *sn number modified*. which is weird thing to do imo.

for those all things you've accused me, got any proof to compare with? worth rm 100 just to accuse me ? come on, i just need a working hdd not to one to break.

if you cant even consider reasonable way to sort this things out, just KEEP THAT HDD! ive had my lesson today. ill just getting a new one instead and a report for you too.

sure. i thought i t was uploaded. here it is;

ill wait see a how it guess first.



ikr, the hdd is in his hands now. last reply he insisted on returning the faulty hdd back to me. very unethical imo.

its really up to him now. nothing much that i can do other than report here or maybe the authority if necessary

which admin? can you point out which one?

as it seems theres quite ots of moderator for this sub forum. not sure which to pm. later end up accused of being spammer lol

and today, ive received the faulty hdd back again.

paid rm110 for this fauly hdd

wow. im suprised that finally theres reply for thread again, thought of giving up.

so i just got back the faulty hdd yesterday.



which part? the board?




well, im trying to be positive. so i just test it.

thanks for suggestions!

lesson learned i guess

wish you could reply earlier bro

so if the hdd is "defective by design" i need to to bear the loss as well? what you think super7 ?
