So What's up with closing our group buy??
I understand the moderators don't want group buys clogging up the forum but am surprised and disappointed they closed the LED group buy. Obviously there was still a lot of good information being passed along...the last few post had some of the best eyelid comparison pics I have seen. I could understand if we were still waiting around for people to join in but that's not the case. We finally heard they were through customs and on the way...Yeah...went to check on the progress in this morning and closed...likely only days before it would have died a natural death anyhow. Seems like a little discretion would have been appropriate.

I agree, I cannot see the reason for closing a still active thread just like that.

Hopefully we can still see those LED's compared to the polarg lights. Maybe someone should start a official eyelid light thread for comparison photos and related discussion.

Yeah, it was disappointing that thread was closed as it was still a very beneficial informational thread for the MB community as a whole. I guess I'll make a continuation thread, but it'll be a review of the lights and not a group buy in accordance to the rules.

No, from what I was told they added the US shipping option for purposes of this group buy so I could still fill out the online form when I was working with them on the first group buy and didn't have the option. Their disclaimer is still up that they only ship within europe. I believe they've left that option up cause I told them I might be hosting a second group buy.

I guess that and bank transfer is the easiest. Maybe a money order? But then you have to go to the WU office and extra fees apply
