I’m looking to get an Acebeam K60 - on amazon.com they’re not that expensive new but there was one used for $18. That cant be legit??
Its almost like, I should buy it just to see. If its a scam it’s only $18 If its for real then that’s a hell of a bargain - right?
I would grab it before someone else does and worst case if it is a scam then file a claim and get your money back.
If "acceptable" condition is good enough for you, and you don't mind gambling on a newbie, go for it!
thanks - - I did just now purchase but whats interesting is: it said something like 6 available.
again, it’s only $18 and like Texas_Ace said : file a claim and wait for that money back if it is scam. I’ll let you all know in a couple weeks if I get it and what I got
For someone to have 6 used K60, then all for $18 each, is a sure giveaway of a scam.
Though good luck with the purchase.
Edit: Amazon you said? In ebay it’s very rampant, personally I have yet hear such scams in Amazon, or I just missed it?
I just sent a message to the seller asking for details on what “acceptable” condition is and if he has pictures of the actual flashlight.
Seller just launched. Ships from Canada. No way he could ship that to the US for less than $30… Scam
Yeah, thinking the same now that we see he has multiples. A single could be legit as it could simply be overflow at the amazon warehouse from returns (had it happen before, got HE2’s and HE4’s for $2 - 2.50 a cell due to this). This many from a new Canada-based seller though does scream scam.
oh boy… Looks like I’m out $18 for a few weeks. I’ll have to skip the 12 pack of UFO whites (beer) for a weekend now
Thanks for the heads up. For $18 it was worth the gamble. Now he’s down to 4.
I snagged one. I’ll risk it.
My bet is scratch and dent.
My bet is you won’t get anything other than a hard time getting your 18 bucks refunded… lol
No guts no glory.
With only 6 available this guy only stands to scam $120.
Most these guys go big to make it worth their while.
I’m thinking 50% - heavily damaged or DOA. 30% - counterfeit light. 20% - I lost $18
I’m on a streak with damaged lights. So I’m going to kerp riding the wave till it breaks
I really feel like a scammer would have put his quantity higher. Why put such a low upper limit on your scam?
It’s probably a scam but I placed an order just in case it’s not. Amazon CS has always been easy to deal w/ me for issues on orders & w/ ~1k sitting in my Amazon GC balance I won’t miss $18 being locked up. Thx OP for the heads up!
What the heck, the delivery date is only 3 weeks away, so at most I am out the money for a month or so.
Think he is down to 2 left now. If these come through we will all be kicking ourselves for not buying 2 lol.
Course it also feels a little like the too good to be true S70’s awhile back lol.
The seller’s name is listed as Tim Trimper. Here is a link to the storefront. If you google that name, it turns out Tim Trimper is a retired NHL player. So maybe we just stumbled on a rich Candian’s sell-off of a huge stash of lights! But more likely, it’s a scam using his name. If that is the case, I trust Amazon’s CS even more than I do Paypal, so I bought one of the K70’s for $39.
Can he have a TN42 too? :person_facepalming: :smiling_imp:
You all better video yourself opening up the package so you can prove to amazon the scam and make easier getting your money back…
If you do get a badly damaged light, can I purchase the working driver from you?
Wow! Tm26 vor only 66 bucks!
LOL, I noticed that just after my last post. I ended up buying one of each, the K60, K70, T6 and TM26. Total of $173
This is by far the most I have spent on a single flashlight order. IF they show up.
I figured getting 4 lights for the price of 1 is worth the risk of being out $173 for a few weeks.
