Auction - a friend in need

FM is FiveMega, yes? I recognize the name, vaguely, but I really know nothing about them. What’s so special about them?

In this world, the good things that happen are sometimes too few. This sure goes on the list of GOOD. Very thoughtful endeavor!
THANK YOU!

I could not agree more.

I’ve had a few dealings with pp and found him to be an honest and very generous person to deal with. He’s also very fastidious when it comes to modded lights as well. I cant vouch for what he is selling but believe they would be exactly as he describes.

All the best for the auctions PP and hopefully members here will get behind this noble cause. :slight_smile:

Good question emarkd.
Very high quality custom machining.
Fit and finish is outstanding.
My wallet wishes I had never bought anything from FM but it’s like eating freshly roasted cashews. You just can’t stop at one.

Yes it is the FMX3 3” head. I forgot to measure diameter but distance from heatsink to glass is 21mm.

No problem tekwyz. What goes around comes around. :sunglasses:

Fivemega is an excellent machinist who produces small batches of custom lights. When they sell out the only way to get them is usually through forum sales like this (hint - 26650 copper insert hosts are all out :wink: ) He is having a mid year sale if you’re interested.

I’m sure more good happens than we see in the news :slight_smile:

Thanks for the vote of confidence DNF. I hope winners are happy to receive any light for their pledge to OL.

Just in case you missed it :cowboy_hat_face: OP updated. Bidding has started :beer:

Great idea!

I hope I’m not out of line here but I did ask pp the question first.

pp will gladly pass on any private donations for Val as well.

Yes, that’s perfectly fine, I can lump it altogether when forwarding the funds. If bidders who do not win would still like to forward some $ for the cause, then pm me when the auctions are finished.

Thanks pp. How do we get your PP address? PM you if we want it?

I see what you’re getting at DNF. I’ll update the OP as well.

pinkpanda3310@gmail.com

Thanks again pp.

Say can others start auctions as well?
Chime you in for addition in the OP and so you can give PayPal of OL or his wife for the donations?

If I understand that correct - you want me to add links in OP to other peoples auctions? Yes I can do that but i’ll double check with the admin, I’m sure he’s ok with it but I better ask :blush:

Admin has replied to my question and has permitted further auctions/fundraising. So if you want to get involved now’s a good time. If you wish I can link your auctions in this thread. I have no objection to using my paypal for the funds, just so long as payments come with notes, addresses, who from/to etc…. Just let me know :+1:

I have updated OP with a tally :money_mouth_face: for those interested in the total.

Update. Halfway :sunglasses:

Great I am going to do a little auction too then, naming it #7
others can do #8 upwards!

And thanks for the swift shipping and tracking number!

Auction group 7 made.

Inspired by your generosity to donate so many sweet lights for auction pinkpanda3310, but not needing any more lights myself, I PP’d a small donation. Nothing compared to your contributions to this cause but if a bunch of members make small donations, it could add up.

Thank you 4wheelr. You’re right, it doesn’t take much for many to make a difference :wink:

I’ve got a Old Lumens built 502B that was a give away from him two Christmases ago. Do you think it would get enough interest if I put it up for auction?
