Alright. You are correct. Just the language C*y is not quite acceptable. That is also not allowed by the forum rules. :bigsmile:
I believe that Olight are watching Gearbest closely and simply slapped them with the MAP stick so Gearbest had to take the listing off.
MAP policy “is not quite acceptable” for us.
Any company that will strictly enforces it’s MAP will Never get any more business from me!
Olight gets paid the same either way, so let the market be free!
Thanks,

That’s pretty much the reason I don’t join in any deals or group buys where the price has to be hidden by PMs for special coupons. Make it public or don’t mention it at all. Let the manufacturer keep their high margin and tiny market share if they want. There are the high end manufacturers who are happy with that and I ok with it, since they rarely if ever discount. They generally have the product quality and support to stand behind their pricing structure for those who are willing to pay. It’s all these low to middle grade manufacturers who are jumping in thinking they can increase profits by hiding behind MAP that irks me. They use MAP to artificially inflate the perceived value of their brand and products without providing any substance to back it up.

Very interesting, it seems Ronald.F probably did know first hand why gearbest didn’t get any stock of the i3E.
It is because he is actually employed by Olight 
So what we have here it seems is the actual MAP police J) Who searches out MAP violation and report it back to the company, and spams there re sellers threads gloating about it.
So how much do you get for being an MAP gestapo Ronald.F? Is it expected from all Olight employees or do you get a bonus for running the gestapo Olight business part, here at BLF on your re sellers/competitors?
I was about to post an detailed mod thread on one of Olights lights but i won’t now because i don’t want to give you Map enforcers any more business 
This is a budget forum and your MAP policies is the very enemy of what i am here to do, buying well priced lights and modding them better than you guys even have thought of yet, and if you did you would probably over charge your customers like usual, and worse artificially keep the price up so many of us can’t afford your inflated prices.
I will think VERY hard if ever want to buy a Olight light again.

MAP is the Enemy of our hobby. - This is not anything new with me, as I have felt the same way since the glory days of Hewlett Packard. - Back then they were overpriced BS. - Today they are bargain priced semi-junk.
Maybe I will buy another Olight when they are priced to compete with *fire;-)
Or Not.
Thank you,

Nobody wants MAP. …… I do not want it.
But all of us want security and good after-sales …. Are compatible both? I only ask….
Perhaps not, but we’re seeing a trend for MAP from brands which do not provide much, if any, additional reliability or after sales support.

You guys are not helping anything or anyone by getting into a MAP argument with a manufacturer. Leave it alone. It is a game and that all there is to it.

All games have a Winner - Who is going to win this game?
It would be nice if it were us.

Lol…it’s all amusing to me. Don’t get so mad about it. You’ll still have all of your group buys and you’re hush hush buys. Olight has excellent products and it’s nice to actually have a manufacturer in the forums to listen to suggestions about their products, or maybe even provide a little support here an there…who knows.
