But something tells me to stay away from this seller. I guess I’ll have to wait and read a lot of posts from the more experienced guys here. Good thing I did not jump in and buy right away.
@comfy and other guys, can you please tell me what really makes you so uncomfortable?
If you are not telling, I will start to think that you guys are actually some representatives of some other stores/shops/sellers etc. who are uncomfortable with this thread.
You're pimping a store run by a user who was banned for breaking the rules, other BLF'ers may not know the backstory and for some reason you don't want them to know. Why is that? Has anyone here received anything ordered yet? Even if he's perfectly legit folks still need to know he wasn't capable of keeping his commercial postings in the commercial sellers subforum, and was banned for not doing so.
and in case you missed it...

Me? None. Yours is right here for all to see. Feel free to dig through my old posts and find one where I'm doing anything similar to what you're doing here.
So why'd you end up with this store, were all the Wallbuys positions filled?
Well, that went south real fast. Unfortunate.
Not going to pick sides here.
I do hope that posting information about a banned seller is OK though. Many of us do it regularly (Wallbuys comes to mind).
This seems to have escalated out of a relatively benign comment from comfychair that was taken the wrong way.
It escalates from there.
Can the embattled parties just agree to disagree, and move on? Nothing good will be settled by continuing. Thanks.
First of all, I have no hard feelings to comfychair or his fellow friends, they are very funny guys and made me laugh a couple of times, also they made my little time on this forum enjoyable.
Let me summarize what happened one last time, please all of you read carefully and try to comprehend before posting anything nonsense.
I was looking for smo reflector for my convoy lights, I saw a thread posted by this guy by chance, contacted to him via aliexpress and he talked with the factory… check this link below for the rest of the story: SMO/smooth reflector for Convoy S2 - S5 - S6 - S7
Meanwhile, I was very busy at that week and this guy was blocked by admin for posting 2 threads in the wrong place.
He did not spam anybody, he just created 2 threads in the wrong place that is all!
Now, he has a new store on Aliexpress and he already started to get very good rating-feedbacks on aliexpress.
After this post if anybody exaggerate his being blocked, (saying again) I will think that they are some representatives of some other stores/shops/sellers etc. who are uncomfortable with this thread.
You guys (I mean Buyers like me, buyers like competitive prices and lots of options ) have a new store selling convoy or other flashlights, stuffs, accesories leds many tints etc. and you are free to order from wherever you wish!
Finally, I am just a buyer I never post affiliation links and if I see a deal - if I think it is good, I post it.
if its who I think it is, he did much more than simply post a couple of threads in the wrong place, he spammed the crap out of the forum, diy builds, suggestion threads, pm’s .
Aggressive marketing is simply not accepted on this free to register and use resource.
Mr admin is incredibly tolerant in his operation of this forum, he does also occasionally sound off on other members if he feels he is perhaps being unfair.
I would drop the attitude and enjoy your time here, its a laid back place generally, its what makes many of us very protective of the place and our admin who makes all this happen. I do believe many have bought items from this seller and been satisfied, that is not the issue. The issue is that this seller seemed to see the place as free advertising and that is not the point of blf.
That’s good information and relevant, that’s what I was wondering about. If anyone else has had satisfactory dealings with this seller would like to hear about it.
So when you say “good prices on Convoy lights” it’s supposed to be implied that they’re not better than Fasttech’s prices on them right? This is me randomly sampling 3 of the tint/outputs of the s2.
Here: http://budgetlightforum.com/user/8498 Seems very restrained in his new incarnation, but still hasn't made a proper posting in the commercial sellers spot for his store, which I think anyone can do, correct? I think anyone can start threads there, I think I've done it asking for some particular something before. His spamming plus his claims that he wasn't able to post there because he hadn't been contacted by staff with approval was just a little too weird, language barrier or no.

Who are YOU working FOR??!??//11/1////1// If you don't reply within the universally accepted three-second window (as clearly listed in the "How To Prove You Are Not A Secret Agent" guidebook, available from the normal sources) and send me a nice present, say a magnum of champagne and a nice sampler of chocolates (following proper gift protocols also explained in the aforementioned "How To Prove You Are Not A Secret Agent" guidebook), I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DENOUNCE YOU AS A SECRET AGENT.
p.s. if you don't know where to find the "How To Prove You Are Not A Secret Agent" guidebook then you are DEFINITELY a SECRET AGENT.
That what I said to F42 about the admin, but now I am having second thoughts. Illumination Supply posts increasingly more and more on normal threads with a huge advertising sign hanging there.
So you take issue with the presence of the sig image below the post? Do you have any examples of where he's replying to generic 'how to fix this broken light?' posts with links to specific products in his own store?

I have another question. Not an accusation, a question - so if f42 reads this as an accusation he can go jump in a lake. :)
Is this 'convoy-flashlights' fellow actually affiliated with the brand, Convoy? Is Convoy an actual company or just one of those made-up brands stuck onto generic designs? Nothing inherently wrong with it just being a label, but is it HIS label? Does he have legitimate rights to use it, to use it as a forum name, to plaster it across the product images in his store? Maybe he does. I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
If this guy really is the originator of the Convoy name I'd be much more inclined to trust him. I like the Convoy-branded lights, own several, have several more on order, will almost certainly buy more in the future.
