Lets have a flashlight aution (3 lights up for bid)

keep bidding. I'm more interested in one of the 3.

Not to take anything away from generosity the secret gift giver if I'm wrong, but I'm starting to suspect edc is trying to buy back his own lights.

Nope, the lights did not come to me from EDC in the first place because the box came from the states....says the post make on the box. There was no return address. :) I am so excited about this move. It will be the first time away from home and the "parental units".

Maybe he had a state side accomplice?

Ahhh good point. I wonder if we can hire the Mythbusters to look into this? :) Now I wanna know where the lights came from and who did send them. That would be a slick move on EDC's part, but why would he go through all of this and not just send me money to move if he wanted to help me? Cover up maybe? :) I am starting to really like this guy. Lets all have a drink in honor of EDC. :)

My guess is that edc has way too much money in his trust fund and doing it this way helps you and gives the rest of use some excitement. But, in the end, he really, really misses his flashlights and has to get them back.

I don't know, just a theory I can't prove. Hopefully the person that did indeed give you the lights is at least a little entertained over my idle speculation. :glasses:

At this point, it looks like EDC will get his lights back unless someone steals them away from him. :) I can not express how thankful I am about this entire process. The lights were a gift....then I was told to do whatever I wanted with them. I could have run them over if I wanted to.....the giver did not care. Then the great folks here seem to give a flip about me and want to help me out....thus provide money for my move via buying the lights. I am honored and very thankful.

I am sitting here wondering something. Will this be like an Ebay auction where at the last few seconds someones bid get sniped and they win a light at the last few moments? LOL :) The tension mounts....(cue dramatic music).

Yes. :P I just may do that.

Things will get to you pretty quick with us both in the same state. LOL :)

Here we are folks....the last hour for placing bids on the lights. What is gonna happen here? We will find out in an hour-ish. Happy bidding.

We are coming down to the wire now. Good luck everyone.

Hello everyone. Well here it is...9PM EST in the USA. It looks like we have a winner. Congrats to EDC as he gets all three lights. :)

Congratulations EDC !

Nice job, edc. How does it feel to get your lights back?

You know, I was going to ask him that same question. :) However, if I did do such a thing....that would reveal who sent me the lights in the first place......or would it?

Oops... did I win. I was unable to log in all day so if anyone else had bid they would have got them. I tried my wife's ipad at the local McDonalds in my lunch hour but the signal kept dropping out.

I just realised I was an hour out in my calculation. Finished at 12 midday my time.

Paypal done. Rounded it up to $150 USD.(Looks like the Aus $$ copped a hiding in the last few days.) Good luck with the move and thanks to the un-named person who gifted the lights.

What an entertaining auction, s1mp13m4n.

And well played, edc!
