Sorry, but I only have 5 left right now, and 2 to 4 are pending sale at the moment. I can sell you 3 at the most I think, as the other buyer has only declared solid interest in 2. I am still trying to organise another relatively small shipment until sales pick up a bit so I may get a few more in a while.
On another note. I would like to make clear that my supplier has just confirmed to me that they did not fit 2.8v PCM as I originally asked but instead used the 2.5v ones recommended by Panasonic and used by Redilast and AW in their 2900 cells. This may explain why the PCM did not cut-off in my tests, I only measured down to 2.56v. I would still imagine it could be bypassed by a very low current draw however, and it should not make much difference in regulated/high current lights as when the cell hits 2.5v in those and the PCM cuts in it should quickly bounce back up a bit to a higher voltage.
However, if you have already purchased any of these cells from me and are unhappy with this new development please contact me and we can work out a returns process for a full refund. I hope it won't be seen as a big problem, but I do not want to have mis-sold these cells in any way as that has never been my intention.
I have sent you a PM Stephen, I don't think there is any minimum post count before you can receive/send PMs on this forum. I find it much more informal and trusting, in a good way :)

So, just to be clear, how many, if any are left? If possible I will take 2.
To make it clear for everyone else, all 5 remaining cells are currently accounted for, they are pending sale not certainly sold yet though. Vegas is next in line for any that become available.
I am hoping to arrange another shipment of 20 cells with my supplier but that is not certain either, and I don't have the money to order 100 in one go so we will see..
Ok, I have 3 cells again available after a planned trade deal changed to all cash. I have messaged someone who expressed interest but they are available for back-up if he backs out.
I am posting to say that while the first stock is basically sold out, I have the opportunity to order a minimum of 40 more cells. I have just been hit with a larger customs fee than expected with what I see as an excessive 'signing off' fee by Fedex, and am not rich/wealthy so in all honesty I'm not all that keen to plough more money into a venture that hasn't really been all that worth it. However, if there is interest for a number of these cells then I will make another order, and they can be available again.
So basically, if you are interested in purchasing some/more cells, or even think you may be, then please post here in the next 18 hours or so as that is when I will decide whether to make another order. If not, then I won't, but it'll have been slightly fun and certainly a learning curve doing it once, if also quite stressful.
I probably should have posted here that I backed out. Redforest has been great to deal with in this situation though, I sure woud love to see him succesful in this venture.
As near as I can tell, you are pretty much the only source for these in the UK and Aus. It's tough to make it as the little guy but I am thinking if you can buy 40 more and continue to make a profit you should!
Hi Redforrest. I would be up for a few more of these. I did a quick discharge test and posted results (on that other forum). They are sweet and for the UK at a great price.
Super quick delivery, no waiting a month for these...
Great, I'm glad you're both pleased with them, and that they all seem to be arriving ok :) Papalumen is first in line for the last 3, as he posted first, but I'll message you afterwards Thommy if they're still available.
Only complaint - they are a little wider and shorter than most protected 18650s. Only light I've tried them in that they wouldn't work (or fit) so far is the Trustfire TF-R2. But I'll try them in the other 18650 lights I own. They fit in all the P60 lights I've tried them in so far.
