Auction - a friend in need

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?

I guess it’s up to you. It can’t hurt to try?? Shipping within US shouldn’t be too much, right? Make it a ‘conus’ sale. Even if it doesn’t sell for much it could still be a win win. My shipping costs aren’t cheap but that’s part of the reason I have too many lights. With this auction I get to clear my shelf - the lights go to new owners that might actually use them - OL gets a few dollars for the transaction.

Since you have an OL modded light there must be someone interested…right?

Oh I would bid on that and if you just say buyer pays shipping from where you are people can check out if they want to bid anyway.
Hlthe real question is, would you part with a OL Light?

And yes I will dive Intl the flashlight cupboard before auction #7 ends and whip a new one up with the conditions buyer pays half of shipping
Since I now only have bigger lights
I already decided to do my working Uniquefire UF1401, one of my favorite lights because then it would hurt also a bit emotional to do these auctions and that seems fitting.

I wouldn’t have made half that sum up money had I tried to straight sell these lights for myself. I’m glad this was received for what it is - a fundraiser for our mate. When all monies have been received for the first 6 auctions I will start forwarding to Justin. I’m sure the sooner he receives it the better. I’ll update the OP when I do this to keep track of where the money is at any given time (probably more for my own clarity really).

That doesn’t mean this has all ended. The Miller has auction #7 running and is thinking about #8. Speaking of which I had to look up what a UF1401 looks like and I have to say it looks pretty swish. Joat and possibly others can also jump on board with this and I implore you to. Of course, you can always just make an anonymous contribution as some others have already.

A big thank you from myself :slight_smile: :beer:

You sir, are awesome. Thank you.

Yes anybody up for auction #8?
I will do another, and let it run for 4-5 days but gladly make that auction #9
:smiley:
EDIT
yep this is my next auction


Uniquefire UF1401
Convoy S2 UV365 (not the S2+ Nichia UV but still true 365nm) with filter to block visible light.

This Uniquefire is my favorte light but I trust the Q8 to be able to take its place in the future :wink:
I love the feel, the 1CM integrated shelf and heavy head have no problems with the heat.
The LOW is almost moon but carries further.
The display if useful and with its heavy weight give a nice qulity experience.
I used this to test somethings, among others, putting 4 charged 3400mAh cells in there and run it on LOW to see how long it would run….502 hours straight.
Gosh I love this light…
It is heavy so I want to share shipping costs with winner.

So will it be #8 or #9?

I have to agree with you there Mr frank.

Nice going Miller. Hopefully it will bring in a few bucks.

I have just made the first payment to Old-Lumens :crown:

I hope this helps in some way Justin :email:

It helps. It helps from the monetary standpoint. It helps from the emotional standpoint even more.

All I can say is that I humbly thank all of you, for all you do. It is much more than kind and compassionate. I have no other words...

Nice effort for those that have been able to contribute.
