Title: Originative Lightsaver
Post by: Blackehart on Fri, 16 May 2014, 12:33:55
Is Originative a solid vendor?
I noticed that there is a group buy for a Lightsaver and yet Originative has them for sale on their site.

What is the scoop?
Has someone ordered a lightsaver from them?
Tempted to do so since all 30 from the group buy are spoken for.


Thanks,

Well originative just lost their vendor forum here on geekhack so take that for what its worth.

Yeah, apparently he was pretty flaky.  I don't know, I've heard both good and bad things about him.  I don't think he'd have a very high seller rating on amazon  :p

The groupbuy is for v2, originative has v1. There are some slight differences in case design.

Originative's v1 also needs to be asembled, as I contacted Sherry before all this came to be, and was discouraged after reading some comments, however anyone who recently bought it did recieve it, I would keep records of payment close depending how you pay though incase a dispute arises

When he's good, he's good. And when he's bad, he's horrible. And you never know which you're going to get at any given time.

Also, Zombly makes a good point. IF you buy from him, and pay through PayPal, if you don't receive your item within 45 days, file a dispute to get your money back. After that, you lose the ability. If not through PayPal, your credit card company will cover you.
