No, what I meant is why do you keep trying to make it out that the reflector issues are somehow fake?
No argument that the selling outside the GB is wrong, never have said otherwise.
But the constant comments that they are making up the reflector issues are not helping anyone. It simply does not make sense.
Please, explain how it would benefit them to delay finishing the GB and thus delay how long until they can go public with the sale? (selling a few via back channels is not even remotely the same).
Without a logical argument to backup your opinion, it is just stiring up trouble for nothing.
They would make SO much more money had they been able to finish shipping the GB in December like they wanted and gone public in Jan.
There is a massive difference between them selling a few reflectors outside of the GB and them lying about the reflector shortage completely. Even your own argument is based on there being a shortage.
Your posts like to word it that they are lying, which that are not.
We all know they have sold some outside the GB. That was never in debate.
Well, we could rush the PM’s and risk making some of the same mistakes as last time or we can spend the time needed to fix the issues from last time, learn from them and then hopefully not repeat them next time.
I vote for the latter option.
Plus since we are still limited by the reflector production rate it would not really speed up the actual shipping times anyways.
Luckily thread is not locked again.
Most materials of GT are big size, so its material shortage problems are real to me. Any supplier can’t deliver the part on time and with good quality, it would/will cause delay. Very simple.
That is true I know Lumintop did sell a lot to a person in South Africa. He selling it now for $700 plus with batteries included. Convert back to rand will give you around R8900.
How do you know he has a lot? Maybe he has a few in stock and high order quantity will need to be shipped from Lumintop directly.
Let’s have a conspiracy theory. If he can get big customer for example military to buy 100 GT at USD650 per piece, Lumintop should serve that order first. I personally will look down Lumintop if they don’t serve that order first. I hope Lumintop earn more money outside this GB or any future GB, so that Lumintop becomes long term GB partner producing high quality flashlight. Smart partner is better than stupid partner.
