Those aren't the prices once you put them in the cart. Pretty disgraceful, really.

These were the real prices for some hours. I think their database/cms wasn't able to handle the "IncreasePrice(allProducts, 48%)" quickly enough, so the pages still showed the older prices on the product page but not in the cart.
What a disgusting way to do business!
Well, I picked up the F23 for $7,75 early enough. If they'll play the refund card, I'll make sure not to miss any opportunity to caution against DinoDirect.
PS: XPG r5 20mm is still at $5 now.
Wow, they raised all the prices of the items in my cart in the past 3 hours. Now I won't be buying anything
You are right they are getting the ****avoid**** - card from me.... I have never seen a promotion with such a backfire-effect. Overall very deceptive marketing.
Hey guys, what do you think of this flashlight? http://www.dinodirect.com/uniquefire-flashlight-led-warm-3mode-m2-mce-strap.html
Separate thoughts about host and drop-in. Current price is $15.05
Read the thread, it's not $15.
Well, it was that price. What the f....
Romisen RC-G2 at 14,99 or something like that, 'normal price' u$s 30 , what a deal !!
i really didn't want to buy this, but for $7.75 i couldn't resist. i put in in my cart, ate too much turkey, came back and it is $11.62. i can resist now. in fact, i can now resist dino direct completely.
i think dinodirect should get a banned list like everbuying
two disgraceful companies leaving horrific tastes in my mouth
Not funny, DinoDirect. You will be going Directly down the path of the Dinosaur if you keep playing these tricks. Updated again:

What do you think? Should they be labelled with the "Avoid" tag like Neverbuying.com?
WTF http://www.dinodirect.com/trustfire-flashlight-cree-q5-800lumens-1-mode-led-tr-800.html it was 22 now 33
fenix tk30 was 77 now 115
"Avoid" definetely
Business suicide!
They have increased the prices again.
Uniquefire S10 was only $10
Tk40 was $84 now $141
Tk45 was $94 now $150
This DinoDirect scam reeks of pure evil.
Yep, that's what it is. I just finished reading "Smart Pricing" by Raju and Zhang, which includes a very interesting chapter on how and why well-managed Chinese companies successfully start price wars, when others wouldn't dare initiate one. This could serve as a textbook example on how not to do it.
I really don't want to reward companies for shoddy or non-existant customer service (which is why I won't buy from KD any more) and this is basically the business equivalent of giving your customers the finger. I don't care if I have to pay a buck more at DX, FP or some other place that at least tries to treat its customers right.
They Probably got hit really really hard and it freaked them out and someone got the brilliant idea ..."hey lets crank of the original prices and see if we can still get the traffic
what happened is they did it in the middle of people buying on a holiday and people saw the prices go up in front of them ..
that just pissed people off ..
it's their stuff and thye can sell it for whatever they want .. but changing prices from the shopping cart to check out is unforgivable .
people who checked out fast got some deals at pretty good prices .. they were good deals just not insane deals ..
