OK, so what is a swarm sale, 6 dudes get in a sale offer and get almost 30% off , not good business logic, where are the boats shipped to? The person that initated the swarm?

Not a scam. Not even close. They don't even mention forums.'it's called buying in bulk to reduce cost. It's helpful to buyers if anything. Were you promised an email?

Yes it was and no I didn't get it.

Go to the 5th bullet point, it was posted already in this thread. Basically they are trying to get people to get 6 of their buddies or whoever to all buy them.

Problem is they never sent out any e-mails, at least to me or the guy who PMd me about it. I guess you could say it wasn't a scam since no one lost any money but they still didn't follow through when they said they would.

6ppl buy the boats and everyone gets theirs shipped to their address and pay on their own.
Not like one has to pay for 6 boats and they try to collect, that would be suicide.
Just join the swarm and see where it takes you.

The swarm sale is nothing more than a group buy, not even close to a scam at all...

As for HK, I've placed about half a dozen orders from them, and everything has arrived in the expected time frame, in perfect condition. They are definitely not scammers.

These comments were not about HC being crap

^^ There were a few comments about the swarm sale being a scam, and also about HK being a scam in general...

No one said HK was a scam in general, but the swam thing is bogus considering many people in this thread signed up for one that got the amount of people needed and no one received the promised e-mail.

Not necessarily a scam because no one lost money, but still shady.

Somehow this thread went from the boat to the test of the Swarm

As indicated by HK it could be an error on their side. Too bad it was not tested before the release.
