I just ordered Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com*
Is this going to give me a headache? I’ve already dealt with fakers on aliexpress…
Looks genuine. This store has been open for 4 years and carries more Lumintop products.
Fake flashlights generally are too cheap, hide the name of the flashlight or add pictures of different flashlights.
There are many decent flashlight shops on AE, it looks real from where I sit.
I don’t know with flashlights, but I am a frequent Aliexpress/Alibaba buyer. I have seen several products with exactly the same product photo and description yet had widely different price difference, sometimes up to 50% or more.
I asked my Chinese friends working in Aliexpress about it and they said a lot of dealers just use the photos of some legitimate merchants and use as their own ( the reason seasoned manufacturers/dealers use watermarked photos).
It can go either way…some vendor sell at outrageously high price and hope to get away with it unnoticed to some excited buyers OR sell at very low price of same photo used by the legit vendor but send a clone.
Don’t go far, just check the battery section for example.
As to the op’s topic Lumintop flaslight, my take is to do your due diligence investigation if you are doubtful. Send/use thd “contact dealer” option.
I know the GT94 was sold pretty low before, I just question why they have 500+ of them when everyone else incl Lumintop has under 100. (and lumintop is selling for over $600 atm)
But on the other hand, it’s not uncommon for even USA mfgrs to offload all the crap they make onto distributors…and then fix the price, anyone under it gets rekt…
I don’t think production of the GT94 would cost over ~350, myself…
You may copy/paste your link and send it to Lumintop’s Leo.
I have asked several sellers before why they have outrageous amounts of goods available, they said it was just a number they put in. Doesn’t necessarily mean they have that amount of flashlights or other products.
