Fenix no more at Fasttech

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!

LOL ME EITHER…. I’m a bargainhead, it’s like a crackhead… But with no illegal narcotics.

Great idea! :beer:

How are they selling below minimum?

This just goes to show how these flashlight companies are ripping us off with their actual prices. Just think what FastTech was getting the Crelant lights for if they were selling them for the prices they listed. Crelant thinks they hit FastTech where it hurts, but actually it was Crelant that hit theirself where it hurts instead. FastTech sent all their Crelant lights back to them for what they paid. FastTech will just pick up some other brand. And Crelant has lost a lot of customers here on these forums I would bet money on it by pulling this MAP crap. Screw Crelant! Same goes for Fenix.

MAP is legal. Fasttech entered into the agreements with manufacturers like Nitecore, Fenix and others. Fasttech entered into the agreements knowing fully that they would go ahead and break them. So why shouldn't they be punished for it. They lied, they cheated. They are guilty of breaking the agreement. Even the Supreme Court says MAP is legal, so look at it from both sides....

just sayin...

FastTech tells me and others here they were not told about MAP when they purchased the lights from Crelant and Fenix. So I will just say now that FastTech has yet to lie to me.

It may be legal, but it is an effort to raise prices for consumers by manufacturers.
