that game isn’t feasible? Prices are changing - I don’t think they are the same as yesterday?
Also, the products are now in different positions, so I guess the promo page is changing constantly.
I didn’t just copy and paste, I did add 2 items Although I am not sure how it will work with the Zanflare, editing after posting would be cheating, but at the time of posting the Zanflare was incorrect price?
Not what I meant, copying is fine but - the product prices keep changing. so how should we play in that case? I wanted to play yesterday but didn’t, thought the list MILSPEC posted was correct. then suddenly your list is correct as of today because the prices keep changing and the location of the products (the order) has also changed? IMO.
maybe more people can comment or check. thanks.
I am almost 100% certain that the BRELONG 1.2M 36-LED Motion Sensor Light Strip wasn’t there yesterday
I was typing too slow, my comment was for malamask. Then I was just commenting on how the price is going to change soon. You basically said what I was thinking, just more eloquently.
I also believe the prices have changed, unfortunately, and the last item was added. I believe I took screenshots, the last line only had 3 items, today there are 4.
And here are 2 answers I received (1st quote from Live-chat Follow Up - 2nd from a Ticket that I've opened with the same question) :
Dear Evan,
Thanks for your kind inquiry in our livechat. We are sorry for any inconvenience you have encountered.
You were asking whether we have X'mas edition for item 201937401
I am so glad to inform you that it is X'mas edition.
[Evan: that's clearly not what I've asked... but here comes the answer to my question]
You were asking whether it is V.1, that has lockout drain bug, or is it upgaded V.2, that doesn't have the lockout drain bug.
I am so glad to inform you that it is the Model for TIP Christmas Gift Set and don't have the difference from V1 or V2.
You have offer the steps for us to clear it.
It is V1 as you said.
[...]
And my answer to the above:
Thanks for your answer.
Since you say that it’s V1 (with lockout drain bug), this is a problem you must inform your clients at the item’s page (I’ve made relative question at the product’s FAQ section but your answer there wasn’t clear).
The best solution would be to stop selling these items because of their problem and return them to the manufacturer (Nitecore) to upgrade them to V2 (or replace them).
The sure thing is that I’m not going to buy a TIP V1 and that I’ll inform all the flashlight forums I’m a member (e.g. BLF) regarding the information you told me.
I really hope you’ll do the best for your customers…
At the same time, here's the NOT clear of GB's CS answer to my Ticket, after "confirmation by their technical team":
We have received the information from out colleagues.
For these two items, the version of them are same.
And my answer to the above:
You call that a clear answer?!
I’ve asked WHICH VERSION these items are (V.1, that has lockout drain bug OR upgaded V.2 without that bug), NOT if they are the same version.
If you don’t understand english well, please show my question to someone who does.
Else, if you do understand english well, don’t avoid to give a clear answer to a simple question.
I’m still waiting for it…
Here comes the million dollar question now:
What's your conclusion for the version of the TIP Winter and GB's CS at technical questions?
I'm not sure (not sure at all indeed...) if they've really checked and replied correctly that it's V1 they have.
Regarding CS (and prices)... well... we know all these China e-shops aren't Amazon!
Why is nobody else participating? Because it takes a huge amount of effort and time? I hope I got it all right but checking all of the data must also be serious work for Gearbest….
The games you get when gearbest send you the wrong stuff/colour /tint etc in your
order, coupled with the fun of waiting months for you wrong order to arrive, are probably enough for most people.
Although you probably got more chance of winning on here than you have with gearbest customer service department :partying_face:
this game will closed on Nov 13th

GB's CS new answer:

Thank you very much for your interest in Gearbest products.
After testing it, we would like to inform you that there is no difference between V1 and V2.Please let me know whether you need further assistance regarding your purchase.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your patience and support.
“After testing it, we would like to inform you that there is no difference between V1 and V2.”
HA-HA-HA!
I can only imagine what kind of test you've done, since V1 has the lockout drain problem, but V2 doesn't have it!
That's enough for me, I won't go on asking you, since it's obvious you don't want/care (or you're not capable enough) to do the simple test and give a clear answer. That shows that your CS (or/and technical team) still doesn't have the high standards I was hoping for... I'm really sad about that...
Fare well.
That's enough with GB's CS for me. :FACEPALM:
what’s wrong with these people… why even have CS if it’s going to be that bad…
fyesilova:I have already ordered “Nitecore TIP LED Keychain Light Christmas Gift Set” and if it is v1 then I have got a problem.
All Christmas Gift Set Tips have been reported as V2 so far. :+1:
[...] I decided not to waste my time with some more back and forths as you well said, so I asked the manufacturer [...]
evankouros:[…]
Please inform if all of these Winter gift set you have produced (from the begining up to now) are the upgraded V.2 (without the lockout drain bug that battery dies in a couple of days), or if you had also produced some V.1 that are out in the market for sale (I've asked some sellers but they haven't answered clearly so far).
The answer I received a few minutes ago from Nitecore wasn't enlightening (odd for a flashlight manufacturer :P ), so I had to ask again.
INFO_NITECORE:[…]
For the Tip, we don't have any version 1 now.
Please feel free to contact the dealer for more purchasing details.Any further question please let me know.
Thanks,
NITECORE[...]
Regarding the TIP Winter thanks for the info that you don't have any more TIP V1 stock (with the lockout drain bug), but my question is if all the TIPs Winter gift set you have produced (from the begining up to now) are the upgraded V2 (without the lockout drain bug), or if you had also produced some V1 (that could be out in the market for sale from various sellers).
I've asked many times some sellers, but they haven't answered clearly. I must inform you that there's a great interest and discussion regarding V1 or V2 of the TIPs at flashlight forums I participate (e.g. BudgetLightForum).Please answer clearly to this question, because I need to understand if I'll buy some TIPs Winter now, or I'll pass and wait till all V1 are sold.
I don't know if they're gonna give me a straight answer (finally!), but the good news is the info Trevi_lux wrote here:
[…]
Nitecore confirm me a few minutes ago that Tip Wintern edition "the winter edition is definitely from a newer batch without the lockout issue".
(The person that comment, I think is quite reliable.)
Gearbest, I recently ordered a Tool Ti cool white, you sent me a non-working nichia version.

I did that
Bypass tailcap with piece of wire, does it work now?
Gearbest, I recently ordered a Tool Ti cool white, you sent me a non-working nichia version.
They did the same thing to me too, although my Nichia-one worked… Their own labelling was incorrect, hence the wrong model…
After e-mailing back and forth, I finally received satisfactory compensation and kept the wrong model…
Good news (as I understand, cause that "be" confuses me) from Nitecore:
Hi Evan,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, all the Christmas Tip are be updated, please don't worry about the battery drain issue.
