I was wondering the same thing, but I have a theory. If they have all of them listed at the sale price all at once, most likely one person/company will buy all of them with the intent to resell them for a profit. The reselling of that item then just becomes more competition for the other sellers on Amazon selling the same item. If they put them out a couple at a time, they can still sell them fast, but it is much more likely that they will be sold to individuals that hear about the deal and buy them for personal use. In the end, Amazon then has lots of individual happy customers that get a great deal, and no competition is added to the mix for Amazon or its' alternate sellers of the same item.
Makes sense to me...

i think at the end of the day amazon wants you to buy something else along with your purchase to make up the slightly less profit on a particular item. i agree that they release a few at a time to get people to come. so even if you missed the deal you wouldn't know it until you jumped to their site. once they have you in the door they hope you stay and buy something else.

the good ole bait and switch tactic.

No I was pressure checking it looking for a leak and blowing the coolant off so I could see where it was coming from

I just got mine yesterday when I got back in town. The wife had no idea what the heck I ordered this time.

Mine had a issue where it would not turn on every time. After I removed six screws on the non switch end and reseated the bulb it worked fine. After shipping you may need to re-seat the bulb if you are having issues.

Amazing quality by the way. I really like this light!

Got mine a couple days ago and got to use it on a toyota today, worked very well until the hood struts on the car decided to **** out and the hood came crashing down on my new light. Well, at least I got to use it for a couple hours before the bulb got smashed.

Next purchase, a telescoping hood prop.

Way to keep a positive attitude :beer:

I got mine in and boy does it work great, just like my other one I had from previously.

Anyway, this thing is still worth the 100 bucks or so it usually costs from Amazon...if you're on the fence, buy it
