ARC 正式结束营业
<P>9月22日讯:</P><P>转贴PETER本人的发话.如下:</P>
<P>Arc Flashlight is going out of business. I am sorry.
- The business failed due to my poor management of it.
- People who are currently waiting for warranty service will be offered a refund if possible.
- Paypals sent for unfilled orders will be refunded.
- Back orders will be canceled.
- Credit card information will be deleted.
- We no longer have our parts, returned items, etc. All this was seized and is lost. We only managed to save some data. If you sent a light in for service, the best we can do at this point is refund your money until it runs out.
- The arcflashlight.com website will be changed to indicate the business is gone. After a week or so, it will then be pulled. This will affect the many images we posted here in the Arc forums.
- Banners will be pulled.
- Our phone numbers no longer work.
- Our shipping address no longer works.
- The business email account will stop working in less than a month.
- We are filing chapter 7
- The rev3 upgrade for the Arc4 never made into production. The beta testers may keep the prototypes in their possesion. We have the source code but without the special hardware, we cannot service Arc4s in the field.
- If you have a problem with an Arc, we can try to help you over the next week although there is little we can do since we lost our tools, spare parts, shipping abilities, etc.
- We will try to make available online the FAQ, DYI maintenance and other help files.
- I may open source what technical data we have left on the product so the CPF community may be able to provide service for the over 20,000 Arcs in collectors hands across the world.
- Our employees and us are looking for work.
Again, my apologies. It is difficult to honor our lifetime warranty when the company doesn\'t exist.

<P>窝火.... 我还没买到那第二版的ARC-AAA呀!</P> <DIV class=quote><B>以下是引用<I>funder</I>在2004-9-24 10:04:52的发言：</B>
万分痛心后悔无奈地追悔送给朋友的三只Arc AAA，自己现在一只也没有</DIV>
我也送了三个给朋友，不过我自己普通和LE的还各留了一个，唯一遗憾的是没弄到ARC4的新版。真是突如其来的噩耗啊，这么经典的产品就这么消失了，遗憾…… <P>二脖子兄，说得真好</P>
<P>遗憾的是peter看不到这里</P>
<P>想必还有很多很多人惋惜arc的离开！</P> <DIV class=quote><B>以下是引用<I>funder</I>在2004-9-24 10:04:52的发言：</B>

还好！我手中还有一支AAA，全新的，呵呵。。。 那么我的新版AAA是否有大幅度升值的可能？ <P>难道真的是因为和MAG的官司？？</P>
<P>严重谴责MAG啊</P> 5555

<P>难过中……</P> <P>我的ARC AAA还没买呢！哎</P> ARC真的挂了？？！ <P>也是刚刚看到这个消息，cpf上面今天的帖子，回帖数量已经快200个了，好长的帖子，却没有什么心情去看，也不知道具体是什么情况让这个公司挂掉的</P>
<P>arc的离开的确让人惋惜，至从henry离开以来，一直觉得arc的情况不怎么妙！</P>
<P>arc的经典之作很多，arc aaa留下的空缺不知道会不会有什么品牌来弥补，到头来自己落得1个aaa也没有。</P>
<P>所庆幸的是，买到了arc4 re2，本来当初是想直接买rev3的，要真的那样，估计自己一个arc也没有了，不过arc4+这个edc的空缺会由hds来弥补，或许会有更大的发展</P> <P>icewind兄，肯定会升值的</P>
<P>arc aaa和mag aaa的官司问题让arc很挠头，前一段时间，ebay上面的aaa价格非常的高，简直让人难以接受，似乎也说明点什么</P> 唉，我还没有来得及买任何一只ARC的产品。 <P>我手头的ARC LSHP和ARC4+看来要成为收藏品了。尤其是经过改进后更是精品，呵呵！</P> 令人惋惜啊！看来我的LSHP和AAA要改使用为收藏了，LSHP的改造也要认真考虑一下了 我正版ARC4＋是不是没有十年保修了啊？ <DIV class=quote><B>以下是引用<I>hifipenny</I>在2004-9-23 16:26:06的发言：</B>
