Fenix no more at Fasttech

Hi. I notice that Fasttech doesn’t carry Fenix lights anymore :_( . I was looking at the TK75 page in particular and it stated:

This product is no longer available: the manufacturer claims that FastTech did not comply to minimum advertised price (MAP) while prior to listing, FastTech was never informed of any MAP policy/agreement from the manufacturer’s official distributors. We are no longer carrying this product due to unclear distribution policies and requirements.

Is this old news or something recent? I’m kind of disappointed.

The TK75 is still available at doingoutdoor for $166. Will it be the next to be MAPed ? This is getting crazy.

Ask Stanley from HKEquipment for a deal, he’s always given a great price

i have fenix ld01 and i think it makes good light than cell phone light

Only Chuck Norris can beat MAP.

I see that all the Olight listings at FastTech are now "out-of-stock" as well....with a MAP disclosure. At this rate, within a month, their inventory will consist only of ecigarettes and keychains !

Well maybe it’s time we start boycotting certain flashlight brands from now on. It seems to me they want to control the market.

Why can't FT just leave the price unshown and only viewable in the cart like places like NewEgg do?? Or just list the MAP prices and state additional reductions with "PRICECONTROL" code in cart? m It's not hard to do and it wouldhelp them keep a ton of sales for themselves and keep the manufacturers happy as well. Sure glad I bought my Jetbeam RRT01 and Nitecore EC1 when I did. They will probably be next. This really sucks for us, the buyers. :(

I think if I was FastTech I would be telling some flashlight companies that pull this crap to go to hell.

And take your stinkin flashlights with you.

well said ilf, I have no issue boycotting any manufacturer that pulls this map crap, they might get the idea its a buyers market then.

I’m game.

No new Fenix flashlight for me for the rest of the year.

The same goes for Crelant.

Couldn’t agree more.

Count me in! I hate this kind of BS. :expressionless:

Marc.

I’ve been looking at a few brand lights but tbh, they just dont interest me the way building my own does, a boycott is very easy with that standpoint. My list for now is :-

nitecore
fenix
crelant

Its a list that has potential to grow too.

It looks like Olight may be in on that as well.

Why don’t you guys come up with some kind of ‘boycott thread’ for each manufacturer you’re upset with and then have people “sign” it digitally. Then after a few hundred (or a few thousand) members sign it… Send the link over to the manufacturer.

Then they can take a look at how many people they’ve made angry with their business practices and perhaps they’ll want to re-evaluate their strategies.

That would eliminate threads like this & all the trivial whining that goes with them!!!

Boys, we have just found our new president.

He’s got my vote to be in charge.

Great idea buddy!

I mean Mr. President. :wink:

And that is very much true as well.

So it’s no more new Fenix, Crelant, and NiteCore lights for me. I use the word new due to the fact I can’t turn down a great deal if I find one used and somebody needs some money for help. I like helping folks out that save me money like on ebay. LOL!
