$2,500 Maglite?

this supreme bs is getting ridiculous.
why are so many people obsessed with that logo?

What I'm trying to understand - did Supreme make a special order from Maglite? And in what quantities? Were these genuenly produced at the Maglite factory? Or did Supreme customize these after purchase?

it looks like they just slapped a sticker on
though the factory may have made a special color or version

The Supremes :slight_smile:

Supreme is a highly hyped street wear brand with lots of support and demand from youngster. They often do collaborations on different common household/everyday items, including zippos, toolboxes, band-aid and even a simple brick. Yes, a brick.

All of the collaborative items are simply custom batches with their red boxed logo printed on them and no matter what they make they always sell out. Depending on the quantity that are made there goes the exclusivity and price.

People who are wanting to buy that Maglite wouldn’t even bother to turn it on, they would just keep it as a collector piece.

The asking price of 2500 is obviously exaggerated since these items normally sell for up to $300. The retail price is way below that, probably around $100. Reselling is a common form of business for these items.

Here goes another maglite: Supreme Maglite XL50 LED Light | Grailed

Which all seems to bear out Al Bundy’s “Bigger Idiot” theory.

I have Supreme branded Nitecore LA10C. I guess they do some collaboration work with flashlight companies to make their own (Supreme) branded stuff.

What was the retail value of this light if you don’t mind me asking?

“If you have to ask a price for this light, then you can’t buy it.”

Translation to flashaholics:
“Not worth more at all.”

IMO, at that 2500$US price tag, they better include 6x 8000mAh NiMH cells with an 8 cell high quality charger, and an upgraded XHP50 LED drop in from ASAF.

That would make one dope light, but still not worth it.

I received this one as a gift, so i do not know whats the retail price. It can be found on the internet for as much as $130 but i think this is far from the real price that these were selling for.

So much for “trendy”. This is the first time I’m even hearing of “Supreme” anything.

I should invent my own “fashion line” just to screw with people. Flaming orange hoodies, teeshirts, belts, whatever, with “IMAGE KING” splattered across over it in a Banksy-style scrawl. Tell everyone it’s sooper-eleet, they can’t afford it, I only got it as swag when a friend went to see the Oscars and gave it to me.

Then again, probably 2wks later I’ll see it advertised/sold all over AX…

After not selling for about nine months (no surprise), it's now down to $1,999. Can't imagine anyone paying anything near that - but wonder what this will eventually sell for.

i wonder what it costs to list something for 9 months without selling….

$1998?

Will definitely be a case of, the flashlight being a lot brighter than the buyer (whoever buys it).

Most greedbay sellers now are delusional.

The 7D mag was only made for a few years and they sold around 19,000. The last one produced would be around 38 years old now.
Its supposedly one of the rarest maglites made. I have no idea about the significance of the added supreme lettering.
Was this company around 38 years ago?
I found some interesting history on the 7D maglite. Maglite: More than a Cop light: 1979 to 1982 7D Lights
No way I would pay that much but to a maglite collector its the “Leonardo da Vinci’s ”Salvator Mundi”“:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/12/07/leonardo-da-vincis-salvator-mundi-which-sold-for-450-3-million-is-bound-for-the-louvre-abu-dhabi/

How about a used $500 marquis/solitaire?

This is what the seller says:

How much would you pay for a laser engraved hand signed “hIKARInoob” Zanflare F1. And I can tell you it’s really, really limited edition. And much brighter than the Maglites too. :smiley:

I’ve got two 6Ds that I’ll be happy to Krylon red for anybody interested? I can airbrush the logo onto them for you, if you wish?

$500 ea., two for $750 shipped, on my dime.
