Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

The only thing I caution about buying “it’s made in the same factory but not a brand name”….it could be the product that didn’t pass inspection.

There are companies who make both, with the same standards, but there are also companies that sell their seconds at cheaper prices rather than scrapping them.

Buyer beware…

I just retried the code and it says code not valid. Deal is gone.

Yep, the code was working before, it made the E05 $25. It was $20 on Vipon some time ago, and considering the Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 was $9 recently I skipped on another E05.

Yeah, I passed on the E05 too. I got plenty of those back when they were under $20. Seems like they even got down to $16.99 IIRC??

Anyway, I did get a few Tool AA 2.0’s @ $9. That was to goo to pass up. :wink:

I search vipon.com for "flashlight" daily.

It seems the site has gone full retard since yesterday.

Yep, no matter what you search for it pulls the same stuff up. you have to look through everything.

I know it's not politically correct, but I love this movie quote:

I just get nothing. Keeps pinwheeling, but zero results.

They really f’ed up their “upgraded website” something fierce.

UPDATE:

Vipon search now works like it should.

Tool 2.0 is on Lightning Deal again… $15.29

Lumintop Tool 2.0

A Nitecore EC4GT knockoff ???

It actually looks quite decent, and for $18 with batteries included it isn’t a bad deal. However multiple reviews said the light is more on the 500-600 lumen range.

Yeah, I know, and usual Amazon price is north of 30.

yeah, I got one:

It does much better now... I paid the $18 deal on it, borderline worth it for modding...

You have more patience than I TomE. I passed it on to the neighbor kid. Figured he couldn’t get into too much trouble with it. Of course he thinks it’s as bright as the sun.

You say you “know it’s not politically correct”, but you post it anyway. That defies logic.

Not only it is not “politically correct”. It is not correct on many levels, politically correct being the least of them. It is cruel & demeaning to those with mental handicaps & deficiencies.

It is offensive to many of us who know, have family, or work with, people who have mental handicaps and deficiencies. It is also offensive to masses of people who just truly care about other people.

The words written were bad enough, but the picture was even worse to me. I left it in the quote but minimized it to a tiny speck. I also crossed through the offending written word.

Probably you just thought this was being funny. I hope before you post something like this again you will first consider the possible impact it might well have on others, as well as what it might well say about you for posting it.

The movie Tropic Thunder (2008) is hilarious.

It's an R-rated comedy.

If you like politically-incorrect R-rated comedies, you'll like this movie.

Get over yourself.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Just because something is politically-incorrect, that doesn't mean it's against BLF rules and I cannot post it.

By the way, you don't need to explain to my why the word retard is politically-incorrect...

I know quite well.

I just think that political correctness has been taken too far, and I don't think the word is offensive in the context that I used it.

Lol. Offending word….
Make BLF Great Again!

Nothing like getting some super douper “how dare you” PC with on an Amazon deal alert. :person_facepalming:

Back on subject….

Thorfire has really bumped up their price on Amazon.ca in the last few months. They still have discounts but you got to play the long game with them.

I’ve gotten some great deals but it takes patience.

Here is how i do it…first

Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker!

Then bookmark the targetted lights. With Thorfire, it takes patience, but worth it because they are Sofirn made.

It’s funny you say vipon went full retard, Vipon quit working for me earlier this month after an update. It was right after the lumintop top flashlight specials, I got the both codes had not copied them into Amazon and then I could not get back into vipon
I just noticed it working in the last day or so.
