Ended

I believe that Freeme has bought them all and is trying to create a monopoly ..while driving up demand ...it's all a big conspiracy.

If I recall correctly..... he did the same thing with Beanie Babies and Fidget Spinners :P

Free me !!!

I totally agree, as I stated yesterday. . :+1: . :slight_smile:

Hmmmmm………… maybe the shadow knows ………. I guess only time will tell

UPDATES: Shipping should restart in approximately 48hrs time (Jul 7, Sat). New stock arrival date is still unknown.

Im confused again….
If the “initial batch” of this GB was rejected………
How can shipping begin before the “New Stock” arrives?

edit: thanks JasonWW

I´m also interested in bying one with the new code

Thank´s

I don’t think the “first batch” got rejected, simply because a lot of these lights have already been sold. You can see reviews and videos of them online. So this rejected batch was probably the second or something like that. Sorry I don’t have any details. These are the mysteries of Chinese business practices. We will never understand. Lol

I mean they will start shipping for the first 100pcs this week (if nothing goes wrong). No news for second batch yet.

Sorry, maybe Im missing something, but if the Batch w/no ETA was supposed to replace the ones that were rejected……… where are these ‘first 100pcs’ coming from? It doesnt make sense……. to me anyway.

Don't get confused. If you have already placed your order, GearBest will ship the good set to you by this weekend.

/\ +1 Thx

Is it too late to be interested? Because I am.

Code please thank you !

New codes are not being sent out yet. No set date on when the deal will start up again.

With a little technomagic, this could be solved once and for all, if GB could get on-board.

Eg, have a base code of, say, “FreemeT1######”, with 6 alphanumerics in the #-field. One-time use, any quantity up to some maximum (eg, 4 or 5), first-come-first-served, up to the max of the group-buy.

FM gets a list of, say, 80 codes for up to 100 units (quite a few will order more than 1). JoeSchmo asks for a code, you c&p from the list to send to Joe. He can order up to 5 lights. He orders 2. “Doh! I want more!”, so he emails again, gets another code if any are still available (bottom of the list to be fair).

626 is a big number, so 80 out of that leaves lots of guesswork to get a valid code. Anyone tries “leaking” it, you can track back to the person who was assigned that code. Blacklisted!

Otherwise, any valid code goes through at GB, up to the 100 units available. You snooze, you lose.

Even 4 places for 624 possibilities is huuuuge, so a code might look like “FreemeT1A9g7”. Done.

I could write something in perl to generate N random codes with M possibilities in just a few minutes, so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks your your recommendation! I ever tried issuing multiple coupons for multiple groups of members (e.g 1-10th, 11th-20th, ....) in the past but it deem too time consuming for both vendor and I to monitor.

If you guys would like to help me,

just support my Freeme's Deals x Group Buy.

As simple as that.

Bit late to claim my 2,
still interested in 2 for the next batch.
Cheers.

So this weekend has come and gone and my lantern has not yet shipped. Any updates? I don’t mind the wait, I am just curious.

No sure happened. I will ask them soon.

It now says on the GearBest site…… “Ship between: Jul 13 - Jul 16

Don’t know if that applies to this Group Buy or not. Either way…. we’ll get em’ sooner or later. :wink:
