Retailers do this when a new product is not yet available but they are already programming it into a web store.
This way people don’t buy it until the real price is released.
Yeah, Vinh is a very nice guy. He does not overcharge and offers excellent service. I know him since at least 7-8 years and he did fantastic work for me.
Why hate? Skylumen has right to sell light at price he wants. He owns the light. If buyer wants to pay his asking price then let it BE. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything. Seller felt what he wanted to sell for and set his price. As far as it selling for asking price it will a different story.
Skylumen does some decent MODs from his videos hence he can command prices he wants.
Buyers either pay asking price or walk away without ranting. Pretty simple concept.
BTW, I do not know Skylumen personally, but have bought from him in past.
For me I think he is overpriced as well. His lights are not built from the ground up. He was just using an off the shelf lights and ramping up the LEDs. If it's one of those custom lights from the ground up I think he could put up a price like that. The BLF GT was made through the efforts and mind of so many great people of BLF but he bought a light so he could do whatever he wants to it. But selling it for a top dollar price i don't think so. This is just the way how I look at it.
I reckon the dropin could possibly be E1320’s creation. All his pictures are down so cant locate anything to show it. He did lots of modding when he was here.
