Well, I think you have to do something about those prices to make it interesting... at least for the SS A3:

The alu version of the A3 is sold out in many places... are you sure that you can get enough in every colour?

The price of the 502 is OK, depending on what charger is included. (picture?)

The A3 SS for $23-24 would be nice.

The A3 alu for $17-18 would be nice

ITP A3 Q5 new with free shipping on eBay for $23



R5 version is $25 with $3 shipping



These are new and shipped from the U.S.



SS version $35 with free shipping from HK



There is a WF502b Q5 (can’t even find a Q3) for $16 with free shipping



These prices are all “Buy It Now” prices.


I changed the prices for you ;-) (See post #100 for links)

Haha…



Yeah, it’s amazing this is post 103 and it’s Nov 18th and the group buy which hasn’t gotten off the ground yet is for lights that anyone can get cheaper and with faster delivery elsewhere.



The original prices (before the discount) listed by DD are ridiculous. No one has ever sold them at those prices.

After this "discount" they are still the highest prices, I've ever seen for these lights.

Either Summer is joking, or he thinks people here are idiots...

Hey Summer, take a look at the normal prices for these lights:

I think he/she just doesn’t get it. We mention that the “normal” prices on their website are just made up numbers and the response is generally “we’re looking at changing that”.



It’s the same answer as the phony reviews. We think “Summer” is different and yet here is a post with ridiculous original prices so I don’t think Summer thinks we are idiots. I think Summer (along with many others) just doesn’t get it.



Whatever input we give will always be acknowledged with “thank you very much and we’re going to improve” but the message really wasn’t comprehended in the first place.

Summer contacted me to make a new groupbuy for the ITP A3, but the prices he mentioned are not really interesting for a groupbuy.. I asked him to reconsider the prices.
I gave him some links to different retailers, with their prices.
Its getting late,so I guess he will answer me tomorrow or the day after..

Hope things will start rolling soon!

Edit: I now see that he already posted the prices in this thread... sorry

I paid less than $5 on the WF-502b deal the other day, i don't think i'm willing to pay group buy price @ $18.80 for it

Now you're not counting the heads the other members without a headlamp have got...

i just bought a 502b with xml for like $10.79, so that price wouldnt interest me.

i just looked to see what an rc-c6 cost at dd and dx. dd is 24.69, dx is 13.16. dino really does need a reality check in the price department if they think a rc-c6 retails at almost $50...

that said, how about the budget light be an rc-c6 or rc-c8 for about $10

i would ask for the uf-2100 again, but its been done already, the same reason i think we shouldnt do a headlight this time around again

I can buy the aluminum ITP A3 EOS for $18.66 shipped from Amazon right now in red, blue, or purple.

Can also get the Stainless Steel version from LightJunction for $34.95 shipped at any time.

You really need to do better than that. As for the 502B with an XR-E Q3 I highly doubt anyone will want that one.

Summer seems to be working too many other forums and group deals. He has not offered us a realistic group buy. If the only buys he offers are late for xmas, under powered, old style, AND over priced I'll need to make my next purchase elsewhere.

               After receiving fake Trustfire flames that say protected on the bar code.They are unprotected garbage.I would buy from Manafont or some reputable seller.Dino is a sleazy company that doesn't deserve our business.</p>

yeah, this whole battery scheme is an outrage. the are going to end up retiring in the hamptons on the money they are making by sending us unprotected batteries... crooks

Yup...moving swiftly along. (Also the other forums seem to be getting much better prices than us)

Summer,

Thanks for the group buy offer. But with the knowledge in this forum, the price you offer will discourage members here more about DD. Maybe just not do the group buy and get our hopes up. Thanks for all the help here to resolve our problems. We do not might paying a little bit higher price for good service. Just not premium price for budget products. We get good service from you. The only problem is the DD price. Anyway, I think I spend the most money at DD the last couple months than other site because of the price and your service. But seem that will change. Just my $.02
