heavenstorm Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Ordered Sept 8, address confirmed on Sept 10, "I will immediately send , thank you" said from the dealer on 12. Let's see: it has a huge amount of good feedback (1476 sold item with 99% positive feedback) so I'm not worried for now. Also the Estimated Shipping is declared 15 - 20 Days Pls tell us when its arrive planning to order too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Finally got the tracking code, it has been shipped on 20/Sept Edited September 21, 2014 by GenTLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Jim Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 My experience with iOffer has been different. I ordered, paid, and then received a message from iOffer that the sellers account has been suspended for violating the ToS. Tried emailing the sellers address on the paypal account, but nothing back yet. Probably going to wait a week and open a dispute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 There are items like lighters and sunglasses that if you really want you need to go to these sites but anyone who shops for all their accessories off board is courting trouble. Where ever you can always support your forum dealers and you can rest assured they will look after you. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood from your previous reply that you're not dealing with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 No Gentle I do not have lighters or sunglasses for these item you do need to source elsewhere. What I meant is that the vast majority of members go off site to buy items like bags and clothing and then wonder why they get screwed.

DR M Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Unlike the watches or the sun-glasses replicas, almost all of the pens and lighters replicas are poor quality, don't last for long and can be spotted easily.... especially the S.T dupont lighter,, the original sound can't be replicated The second hand are cheap, reliable and classy... That's how I feel about it You can bay an average condition S.T dupont for 100-150$ from a trusted second hand dealer.. and with a 50$ you can have a full service and it well always tell a story Or even you can bay a brand new Mini jet for 100-110$ I own a vintage Ligne 2 for 4 years and a Mini jet and both are more that excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Have you received the lighter? It is currently in the Italian customs (from 1 October). Let's see if it will pass . If so next week it should be at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 It arrived today :-) AMAZING lighter. It came with spare flints (8x in Dupont package) and spare "bunsen", plus the complete box and documentation/guarantee card and finally with a real leather Dupont belt case. I'm EXTREMELY happy about it, even if, I've to say, it's a bit heavy in the pocket, with its 143g Also happy that it passed by Italian customs with NO problem at all I can only give a great feedback to the seller, which is "Oldshop1980" on iOffer. The product is this: https://www.ioffer.com/i/s-t-dupont-highest-quality-lighter-ab097b-528506002 Here some pics (the engravings are not that visible in the pictures due to the metal shine, but they're really well done!): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Thanks Ah, discovered that the "bunsen" in reality is an adapter for refill with spray buthan and also that there is a replacement spark wheel So I filled it, regulated and it works perfectly! About the "ping!" sound: I would say exactly same tone like this one, but a bit less persistent in time / resonating.
