Use http://chinaprices.us/ :wink:
Bestofferbuy indeed has best price for it.

Tnx for that folks, I’ve just had a look on the B O B site and they’ve got a jacob “C30” listed for £9, which claims longer throw and more lumens!!.
So what do you think, A60, or C30??

I dont think the C3o will beat the jacobs A60 at all.

Reasons are:

Same emitter but A60 has 55 mm bezel where C30 has 45mm bezel so less throw.

Upping the drive current from the A60 to C30 to achieve this increase is impossible. I think we are dealing with chinese lumens and lux and that means you can only trust the product when there is someone who reviews their impresssions of the C30

Thanks for that LS, A60 it is!!

When I placed an order for the A60 at B.O.B they took my money and then a couple days later credited my paypal back without telling me why and it took me another day or two for them to reply to all my emails on why this was done… So make sure it’s in stock…

OK, tnx

Same thing with me Rikr!!, nothing to say on the website that it’s OOS, so i’m p**d off now!!
Going to try that Taobao instead.

That’s so messed up!!! They should tell us before we place an order!! They have been out of stock for a long time on the A60!!

taobao wouldn’t take paypal, so screw them!!.
Finally ordered one from an outfit called “COLORAPPLE”, so fingers crossed.

Good luck!! Hope things work out smoothly.

bestofferbuy have a 10% off coupon: BOB10

So the A60 is only $13.14 from there.

I only skimmed this thread before I posted the above, so I didn’t notice the comments about BOB being out of stock. What a bummer, especially since I just placed an order there myself.

Please let us know about your experience with colorapple, they come up alarmingly regularly on google shopping searches, I’ve just never seen anyone have a buying experience with them yet, thanks for taking one for the team. :bigsmile:

Will do.

Did it ship yet? Just trying to get a sense of the service with these people.

Received the following email from Bestofferbuy today:

So now I’ve had to reply to request a refund, which will probably take a few more days considering how useless this place ultimately seems to be.

I see things have not changed with B.O.B, makes me wonder if they ever had this light at all. Not a good way to treat first time buyers or to get more buyers…
they get an AVOID rating……

Exactly. It was indeed my first order with them, and I wont try to shop there again. Who wants to order from a site that offers up products they don’t have in stock, haven’t had in stock for quite some time, and don’t expect to have in stock anytime soon, if ever? I mean, how hard is it to remove a listing in such circumstances?

It’s absurd.

This is exactly what happen to me from them and this was 3-6 months ago, like they couldn’t have stocked them by now or remove the listing like you said. They probably never had them to begin with…
