I can't believe I had to wait OVER a MONTH to get a single zippo lighter. These zippo lighters are common lighters, they're aren't even that special. You can find all those 4 different versions lighters for around $14-$16 on Ebay with free shipping and faster delivery. I can't believe I've waited that long just to save couple bucks....
Ah Mister white Knight !
Hmmmm two negatives ......... ( I guess you meant "with ANY logical proof )
"Exactly... you can't answer my questions without any logical proof."
And thats exactly what Ive done .... I cant answer your question without logical proof so Ive answered your question WITH logical proof.
Its completely logical. In the US you can buy a Zippo in Walmart for about 10$ give or take a dollar or 2 . FACT right ?
You cant do that in other countries outside of North America. FACT. The equivalent stores with bulk sales tactics do NOT stock them. You have to go to a specialty store a tobacconist , a mister minute or a army disposals store. Your 10$ Zippo is now 30-40$ AUD due to retail and distributer mark ups. Thats A FACT. And thats your most basic model. price up for graphics ,armor ,replica or deluxe models. easily spend 50$ for a flashier Zippo.
SO the question is WHO would wait several weeks for a group buy for a lighter thats a good price - but the price is similar to a vendor with stock on hand ?
An international citizen saves big time and waits maybe a fortnight more.
A US citizen waits a couple of weeks for something they could've got same day delivery on.They might be buying a few and save on postage.....maybe they want to spend their bitcoins.
Maybe they're a Dumbarse and didn't check prices. Could happen to anyone.
Logically what percentage of the drop falls into each group ? What group did kitty fall in to ?
what group were you in until Kitty enlightened your Arse ?
Whether I was rude or not is subjective.
She told me I cant read..... I told her to read what I wrote , then I praised her intelligence for checking local prices she then labeled me wise and apologized for sounding rude .
Hope that explains your query ( and the deal to be had here)..... for you US-centric folks --
Have a great day : P
AntibacterialWell as a US customer I like buying from massdrop for the excellent customer service (like the 5$ refund I got when a drop was late),
also anything bought from walmart has a good chance of being more cheaply made then if you bought the same item elsewhere.
It's a real pity the Zippos aren't going international now.
In the past it was a real nice deal..... But not so much if you lived in USA coz Amazon.....
No international..... What's the point?
By far my favorite lighter is the classic Zippo. Unfortunately, it has a nasty habit of drying out after a couple weeks of non-use.
My favorite modification to bring a Zippo into the 21st Century, add a single/dual/quad butane insert. If this was available as an add-on, it'd be an insta-buy.
