Then read THIS
I had also PMed him on CPFMP and he said he did not like that model.
I haven't checked that list, but I'm not going to be on it.
I just read this thread and I think some of you guys exaggerating things a lot.
Well I think he thought it was going to be like the TN30. That’s what I got out of it. He made a guesstimation and later admitted he was wrong is all.
Again how many guys here with the exception of an elite few can get out of a light what Vinh can at the prices that he charges and with the speed of service and same exact quality? I don’t know of many.
Since I don't need that type of light, I don't find it relevant.
Well there’s a lot of folks that do. And they are happy, happy, happy.
Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.
did not bother to come admit wrong in my group buy thread, instead decided to just do his own... one which profited him over a grand after shipping charges. most likely over $1500 after I did the math
Well I don’t know all of the details. But I do know he mods one heck of a light.
What you just said is very true….and I’m one of Vinh’s fans….but I think you are veering away from the essence of the OP.
Could be.
But Vinh ain’t a bad guy is all I’m saying.
At any rate, this whole debacle is a fairly large cultural / community disconnect on Niwalker’s part.
Or as my adult daughter would say: “Epic PR fail.”
Sounds like Cellguy and vinhnguyen54 are both collateral caught in the middle of a raw deal, thanks to Niwalker’s (at best) unethical behaviour.
I’ve not interest in supporting a business model like that and sadly, even if they’re the best light ever, period and made to unbelievable specifications by vinhngeuyen54, I can not support them, yet do wish him well in clearing his stock.
Divided, we fall, united, we stand !
I wonder if that actually penetrates the skulls of some and the meaning is actually appreciated, as actions strongly suggest otherwise… 
Niwalker have a LOT of explaining to do, first starting by actually fronting this very community and affording us the respect of candid replies to our questions and inquiries.
We all like money!
Well borked let me try to explain you,
First we did clearly stated to Cellguy that all dealers must stock our products. He should not start any selling activity on any Niwalker products as he is not being approved by us yet. This kind of selling behavior is not accepted. However since the GB has started already we wanted to fulfill this order as we understand BLF community is very upset right now. We were in a discussion with Cellguy and offered some solutions to him but he just refused everything we told him. But We still wanted to work with him and we told him to remove Niwalker on the thread title but he didn`t do that. As we were not the one don`t want to proceed.
We want to sell lights as many as possible, 15 Vostro lights we sold to Vinh means nothing us. These lights are for your guys. We just can`t stand to work with a dealer that can not communicate so we decided to work with Vinh directly.
Everyone has their point of view I think we have made the best solution for this situation
Hopefully I`ve explained you well.
I think you have explained it quite well.
AmandaLee, did you notice that the number of reads in this thread is more than 4000? I think that is somewhat more than 15. I also think that should mean SOMETHING to you!
I’m fairly new to all this, and especially the “group buy” concept. But it seems to me that things went wrong from both ends of this one. Communication is a 2 way street. I think this street was full of potholes from the beginning.
I wish the best of luck to all parties involved.
I remain very impressed with Solarforce.
There has been absolutely no pieces of evidence of emails/correspondences/screen shots to back anything that it being said here.
Post 187 has some evidence to back up what I am saying... Just saying
