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 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
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
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
I found A2 SS @ebay for $22+6 (intl. shipping). And, Summer, check these offer OC has made last year :p (and by the way, they send items from USA if I remember well)
Hello, thanks all guys here for your comment and suggestions. Well, i promise the price of these three lights are the lowest we can give to you. There might be some other stores have these lights at a lower price, but there might be some difference on our purchasing from the suppliers. I have reported to our product center to try to get the items at a much lower price, then we can also offer you a better price in the future.
And for the batteries problem, we sincerely appologize to the members here. I have told our product center to check the items more carefully after we get from the suppliers. If there are any other members who got the wrong ones, please directly contact with our online customer service, then they will give you a reasonable price. Or you can contact with me to solve your problem. For the wrong ones, we will give you a full refund or gift card.
Group buys are only interesting to us, when they offer a substantial benefit over current market situation like: better price, better features, included accessories. Summer ... you can check your prices first for yourself before offering the items to us at sites like: ngshopping.com, ebay.com, other dealers .... that way you get a good impression what items/prices would qualify for a group buy. The Fenix E21/ UF2100 /UF H2/ITP SA1/Sunwayman V10A were great deals and worthy of a group buy and we are a little bit spoiled by your generous 20% coupon from the past.
I think the lights from your Jetbeam line-up, which are already under $60 would make nice candidates:
Well, the deal now as it is planned is just a waste of summers and our time and space on BLF. I think the main aspect for group buys for the seller is the positive advertisement effect. When a seller raises our hopes and then crushes them.... it will be remembered in a negative way. Same goes for bad products. If I would be a seller, I would look for a low-medium priced popular premium light (less chance of QA issues), were I normally have a wide profit margin and offer that one for less than my competitors. So you can make sure that your customers are satisfied, the sellers will be thought of in a positive way and you have the positive advertisement effect. Every time I pick up my E21, I think "what a great light and what a great deal on DD it was... and look at their website for similar deals on high quality products.."
While we are talking high quality products.... BTW:
