www_watch Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Smells like...... hmmm..... I would never buy from a seller on ebay who says he´s located in Greece and writes in german. Then he doesn´t say with a single word that this is a genuine item. Auf gut Deutsch: Bist wahrscheinlich beschissen worden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 is there a difference between silix lighters and the ones trusty and paul offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegra Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 is there a difference between silix lighters and the ones trusty and paul offer? Trusty says yes there is a difference, he sells dupont twice the price as silix does.. but here is his answer.. There are 2 versions. One which does not have the usual LOUD "PING" sound and one with the LOUD "PING" sound when you flip open the lighter. I am selling the better version one.

slay Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 yes, his price is double, but his price on CN Unitas watches was almost TRIPLE the silix price a while ago and not a bit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 John I'm sorry to say this but you have a habit of buying from eBay before you know if it's gen, I seriously doubt that we have any members who can say for sure wether this is in fact a gen or rep lighter. I don't actually own a rep lighter (gave up smokes) but from the reviews I've seen everyone has stated that the rep looks identical to the gen.

slay Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 now we only need to know, weather the silix version is equal to the paul/trusty version. i really need to get one of them for a friends b-day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually own a rep lighter (gave up smokes) but from the reviews I've seen everyone has stated that the rep looks identical to the gen. Ken Yes you are right Ken .. but i have a logic out of this.. I am biddig for the item till wallet can reach if i win the item iam ready to pay the money then i ask any qustion or take any precaution in order to be sure that if i pay i will get a gen item. Ebay policy states clear that no counrtefeit items could be sold on Ebay (if they care) so ebay is on my side, if the item proved to be countrefeit i do not pay and the seller is reported to ebay, i get no negative feedback cause this is s scam auction. Even if my feedback is stil small (17) its 100%. i always can ask for a serial or other verifiable means in order to know if this gen or not. So thats why iam "risking"..

Pugwash Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 He has sold a lot of these. Looking through his history, he's showing all the signs of an eBay scammer. First load of bids are for cheap stuff like eBooks and the like with private bidding and sellers who are no longer registered, which gets him a positive rating. Then, he sells loads of lighters, one of which has an unstamped waranty, and he buys a rolex warranty card. Maybe he's about to move into selling rep watches as real? I wouldn't touch the dealer with a barge pole. With my limited knowledge of spanish, the bad review he had was someone calling his lighter [censored] and getting refunded, and the complainer states he didn't get the refund. The lighter may be genuine, but the dealer seems to be a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehtolcad Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 gotta say as far as silix goes, i have owned two of their duponts and they most certainly have the ping. i haven't owned ones from paul or andrew so i can't compare but i can say that jay and angel's quality level is high on these. these are very heavy and solid with the ping. as i remember thor has pics and video that were posted on rwg1.

8o8 Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 the loud ping is like the singature of the dupont lighters so its important to get the one with the loud ping. ... hmmm reminds me of a monty pythong skit Trusty says yes there is a difference, he sells dupont twice the price as silix does.. but here is his answer.. There are 2 versions. One which does not have the usual LOUD "PING" sound and one with the LOUD "PING" sound when you flip open the lighter. I am selling the better version one.

hanswurst Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 gotta say as far as silix goes, i have owned two of their duponts and they most certainly have the ping. i haven't owned ones from paul or andrew so i can't compare but i can say that jay and angel's quality level is high on these. these are very heavy and solid with the ping. as i remember thor has pics and video that were posted on rwg1. I second that. I own a few of Silix Duponts and they are just amazing. Very heavy, certainly with a nice loud ping sound and they are refillable with original Dupont gas or cheap refills. You can use the cheap Zippo flintstones as well. Excellent product with an unbeatable price!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnkaz Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I think it's the usual, if it looks too good to be true. Then it is. Cheers Johnkaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanswurst Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) I think it's the usual, if it looks too good to be true. Then it is. Cheers Johnkaz. THat is usually the case... and it makes me suspicious that the guy crossed out the serial number, since alle the Duponts I saw so far with our dealers had the same serial No. I could confirm it if I had his serial number.
