And yet…non of us has seen a working one, only “faulty” (or whatever your preferred adjective) ones here on the forum. Terry, Friend, I hope you can understand why folks are a little antsy - - “Quick” group buy announced, money up front needed. Promises of shipping by January 20 given, then changed. - Questions were asked about performance and other unknowns, and your response in one post was “just buy the light!” ( I know it was offered as an encouragement, but it could be read the wrong way) - Desire from potential customers to see the light perform was communicated - sample light gets “lost in shipping”, so no decent video or photos for the 35 version. - Light does finally surface in the hands of someone other than the seller, and it’s preforming at half of the published performance. - Questions are (rightly) raised, and you seem to accuse them of attacking your character, or trying to sabotage your business. Now, I know you have and gave good reasons for the issues, and it would seem they are out of your control! However, the scam artist that sold my elderly mom “roof insurance” also offered a lot of good reasons why they couldn’t come look at her roof after it got damaged in the latest hurricane, and the excuses all have to do with paperwork, lost payment, etc., all “out of his control”. And, she is still out $800. I’m new to the forum (as are many), so I know there are folks here who have known you online for maybe years, and have done business with you before, and would absolutely vouch for your character. And, you may be an actual saint or angel in real life that would never intentionally do ill to anybody, lol. However, there are folks who don’t have the benefit of that information, they just know they paid money up front, sight unseen. So I’m thinking a little understanding of their worries might go a long way to having them as return customers. Blessings on Your Evening!

All lights from the group buy have been shipped, I actually asked that Dale ship all of the group buy orders before shipping my own order that was placed a month prior to the light even being announced here.

Also this was a factory sponsored group buy, I do make a single penny from any of the sales from it. I simply accepted when I was asked if I would post a group buy for the new model.

Keeping in mind that I have my own part of Haikelite here in the U.S. that I take care of and that as I said no money made in the MTO9R group buy earned me a profit of any kind at all... Every minute that I have invested into any part of the group buy has been because I wanted to do that . If asked a question I took time away from my own job and made sure to get answers for hundreds of questions, emails, PM's.

I do have a single question though please.

Can you provide me with the thread line and post number where I stated "Just buy one"?
