the zanflare is cheaper on sale and with points compared to the coupon code, just in case someone is looking to buy!
Hope I got them all right? Did I win :D?
Sorry Sir,
Game closed Nov. 13th
HaHA. LOL
Seriously
Do hope you get some cash.
Why is nobody else participating? Because it takes a huge amount of effort and time? I hope I got it all right but checking all of the data must also be serious work for Gearbest….
I was going to build a new light but did this game instead, hope I won’t regret that.
LOL…you didn’t expect a truthful satisfying answer to your question did ya? That’s coz the question is too technical for the Chinese Challenged. They simply do not know or pretend not to.
Should have asked “Am I going to get screwed over on this deal and have to request a replacement or refund because you are avoiding my initial question”? Sorry, but that’s also too technical of a question .
One thing they do understand however, is how to take and make your funds scurry South into some deep China pockets. Then it’s up to you to pull your hair out over nonsensical back and forth e-mails. And, when all else fails, it will finally dawn upon you that all you have left is to threaten the dreaded PP word……….PayPal. Oh, the horror !
But to be fair, and we are fair are we not?, the positives do outweigh the negatives with the Big 2 Vendors, namely, Banggood & Gearbest. It’s just when things go wrong, your good times become bad times because of the nonsensical back and forths. Then, add to that, the ducking, dodging, and yes, even hiding of pertinent info relative to your case at hand …and blah blah blahhh blalhhhhhhhhhh blah blah…blahhh blahh blahh blahhh bla bla …add infinitum…. :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:
I have already ordered “Nitecore TIP LED Keychain Light Christmas Gift Set” and if it is v1 then I have got a problem.

I really thought there could be a clear answer. It's not that difficult to find out!
Despite that, while waiting GB's "professional product department" answer, I decided not to waste my time with some more back and forths as you well said, so I asked the manufacturer:
Ended.. - #318 by evankouros […]
As I haven't said (so far), I've also e-mailed Nitecore (earlier today).
I’m interested in buying some of your great Nitecore TIP Winter Edition gift set (Blue/Red & Green/Red), as I’m a great fan of your products and I believe these are a great gift for X’mas.
Please inform if all of these Winter gift set you have produced (from the begining up to now) are the upgraded V.2 (without the lockout drain bug that battery dies in a couple of days), or if you had also produced some V.1 that are out in the market for sale (I've asked some sellers but they haven't answered clearly so far).
Anyone who's interested regarding TIP Winter V1 or V2 can stay tuned, as I'll inform what's their answer the moment I have it. The good thing for my pocket and -probably- my nerves, is that cause of that story I haven't ordered any Nitecore TIP yet.
I have already ordered “Nitecore TIP LED Keychain Light Christmas Gift Set” and if it is v1 then I have got a problem.
All Christmas Gift Set Tips have been reported as V2 so far. :+1:

that game isn’t feasible? Prices are changing - I don’t think they are the same as yesterday?
Also, the products are now in different positions, so I guess the promo page is changing constantly.
I didn’t just copy and paste, I did add 2 items Although I am not sure how it will work with the Zanflare, editing after posting would be cheating, but at the time of posting the Zanflare was incorrect price?
Not what I meant, copying is fine but - the product prices keep changing. so how should we play in that case? I wanted to play yesterday but didn’t, thought the list MILSPEC posted was correct. then suddenly your list is correct as of today because the prices keep changing and the location of the products (the order) has also changed? IMO.
maybe more people can comment or check. thanks.
I am almost 100% certain that the BRELONG 1.2M 36-LED Motion Sensor Light Strip wasn’t there yesterday
I was typing too slow, my comment was for malamask. Then I was just commenting on how the price is going to change soon. You basically said what I was thinking, just more eloquently.
I also believe the prices have changed, unfortunately, and the last item was added. I believe I took screenshots, the last line only had 3 items, today there are 4.

Anyone who's interested regarding TIP Winter V1 or V2 can stay tuned, as I'll inform what's their answer the moment I have it. The good thing for my pocket and -probably- my nerves, is that cause of that story I haven't ordered any Nitecore TIP yet.
And here are 2 answers I received (1st quote from Live-chat Follow Up - 2nd from a Ticket that I've opened with the same question) :
Dear Evan,
Thanks for your kind inquiry in our livechat. We are sorry for any inconvenience you have encountered.
You were asking whether we have X'mas edition for item 201937401
I am so glad to inform you that it is X'mas edition.
[Evan: that's clearly not what I've asked... but here comes the answer to my question]
You were asking whether it is V.1, that has lockout drain bug, or is it upgaded V.2, that doesn't have the lockout drain bug.
I am so glad to inform you that it is the Model for TIP Christmas Gift Set and don't have the difference from V1 or V2.
You have offer the steps for us to clear it.
It is V1 as you said.
[...]
And my answer to the above:
Thanks for your answer.
Since you say that it’s V1 (with lockout drain bug), this is a problem you must inform your clients at the item’s page (I’ve made relative question at the product’s FAQ section but your answer there wasn’t clear).
The best solution would be to stop selling these items because of their problem and return them to the manufacturer (Nitecore) to upgrade them to V2 (or replace them).
The sure thing is that I’m not going to buy a TIP V1 and that I’ll inform all the flashlight forums I’m a member (e.g. BLF) regarding the information you told me.
I really hope you’ll do the best for your customers…
At the same time, here's the NOT clear of GB's CS answer to my Ticket, after "confirmation by their technical team":
We have received the information from out colleagues.
For these two items, the version of them are same.
And my answer to the above:
You call that a clear answer?!
I’ve asked WHICH VERSION these items are (V.1, that has lockout drain bug OR upgaded V.2 without that bug), NOT if they are the same version.
If you don’t understand english well, please show my question to someone who does.
Else, if you do understand english well, don’t avoid to give a clear answer to a simple question.
I’m still waiting for it…
Here comes the million dollar question now:
What's your conclusion for the version of the TIP Winter and GB's CS at technical questions?
I'm not sure (not sure at all indeed...) if they've really checked and replied correctly that it's V1 they have.
Regarding CS (and prices)... well... we know all these China e-shops aren't Amazon!
Why is nobody else participating? Because it takes a huge amount of effort and time? I hope I got it all right but checking all of the data must also be serious work for Gearbest….
The games you get when gearbest send you the wrong stuff/colour /tint etc in your
order, coupled with the fun of waiting months for you wrong order to arrive, are probably enough for most people.
Although you probably got more chance of winning on here than you have with gearbest customer service department :partying_face:
this game will closed on Nov 13th

GB's CS new answer:
[…]
Thank you very much for your interest in Gearbest products.
After testing it, we would like to inform you that there is no difference between V1 and V2.Please let me know whether you need further assistance regarding your purchase.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your patience and support.
“After testing it, we would like to inform you that there is no difference between V1 and V2.”
HA-HA-HA!
I can only imagine what kind of test you've done, since V1 has the lockout drain problem, but V2 doesn't have it!
That's enough for me, I won't go on asking you, since it's obvious you don't want/care (or you're not capable enough) to do the simple test and give a clear answer. That shows that your CS (or/and technical team) still doesn't have the high standards I was hoping for... I'm really sad about that...
Fare well.
That's enough with GB's CS for me. :FACEPALM:
