content: I was thinking of buying an 8gb orange pi max board, but I came across this doubt on a site they sell it for 54.79 dollars free shipping,https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005008571364933.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.2.264432abAd73A2&algo_pvid=327a832e-e713-4ca9-a16b-9b10ce3b3bbc&algo_exp_id=327a832e-e713-4ca9-a16b-9b10ce3b3bbc-1&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%223%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%7D&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%21109.58%2154.79%21%21%21794.64%21397.32%21%40%2112000045767319396%21sea%21AR%21719651202%21X&curPageLogUid=h1S3l51JgzhK&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3AOn the official site, it's $95 plus shipping, which makes me think that the $54.79 one is fake.

content: Doesn't let me see the first link, but, what are the sellers ratings?I'm guessing its not the right version as there are so many different versions (4A, 4, pro, etc.).Second link:https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007349611033.html

content: Quote from: thm_w on March 05, 2025, 10:51:08 pmI am not sure what your comment is referring to. I did the attachment post only because you mentioned you couldn't see the first link yet made a guess. I just wanted to help you. I have no interest in the item.As for not sending to Turkey, we only have a personal customs allowance of 30 EUR including shipping so this item is not available to us.EDIT: For completeness, I attached a picture of the item while logged in. The price is the same.

content: Quote from: thm_w on March 05, 2025, 11:31:55 pmOK, my command of English as a foreign language is failing me here. Maybe I should just leave this thread.Let me try once more and leave: Since you said you couldn't see the link, I made the effort and downloaded the item info as presented on AE page and made a zip file so that you could see the technical details etc. You asked about seller rating and I included a picture of that. That is all what my post is about. I don't get what you are trying to ask or claim. I just wanted you (or anyone else who can't see the link) benefit and make some useful discussion about the item. I personally have no interest in this item.As for "can't be shipped" notice, I also explained that it has to do with our personal customs allowance. I don't know what else to make of this issue.

content: Quote from: bte on March 05, 2025, 11:40:07 pmSorry, thought you were the original poster.Thanks for the effort.The seller does seem to have a high rating so would be worth a shot if you have time to kill. For me and others it won't ship to our countries.
