Nitecore flashlights have s/n imprinted on the head of the light. You can send the s/n to the factory for verification. Not sure about all their flashlights, but he MH20 also have Nitecore imprinted inside the bezel.
When it come to quantities remaining, “More than 10 available” means they still have over 10 units available, it could be 20, 50 or 100, this will keep showing until the quantity drops below 10, once this happens it will automatically start the count down to: “Only 9 or 8 or 7 remaining” and so on until they’re all sold out, then it will show: “This item is out of stock” - This goes for any auction listed on eBay selling large quantities of the same product.
I would like all of you to know that I have received a couple of shipments that got lost and were reshipped from manufacturer with prices and lets just say that if you knew what their cost was you would be getting on a plane and flying over there to kick someone’s ass. Based on the markup I calculated on my other orders That MH20 costs around 18 dollars, and Im not talking about the manufacture cost. Im saying thats what they sell if for to their distributors. So all it takes is some guy from china trying to cut out a middle man to make a couple bucks and deals like this really do exist. But as always all the scammers can make it difficult to find these deals when they are happening. Be safe! No pain no gain. Order me one too! lol
Ive played the Chinese “to good to be true” game at ebay dozens of times for many years. Its probably 1 in 12-15 that come through from Chinese purchases while the rest are scams. But I always get a refund when the product doesn’t show up. IMO, if you can afford to float the money for up to 60 days (usually far less), then go ahead and gamble. Paypal protects us. As far as paypals business model is concerned, they simply dont care about the thousands of Chinese scams that show up on their site. A PP supervisor told me that Chinese originating accounts are by far the most notorious for these types of scams, but Ebay makes obscenely massive profits through their customer base to offset the bad transactions. In other words, ebay rewards chinese scam artists, so they will always be present unless ebay changes their policies
While Im sure Im contributing to someones chinese new year beer drinking fund, I bought a few lights to see if they arrive. If not… oh well! I’ll file my PP dispute and retrieve my money. Of course I already know this is another scam for all the reasons already mentioned. If ebay doesnt care, then either do I.
Haha, yes…with a time machine, because in my country it’s already 18:31 hours of April the 4th, as of this posting.
