BLF Kronos X6/X5 GB - Group Buy now closed.

please put me down for the $80 kit in NW please. thanks

Hi ToyKeeper, I suspect you meant to post this over in the other A6 GB thread? Totally agree with you though and it's why I hold off from investing too much £££ on custom lights because we know that this Forum has such great custom group buys.

P.S. Can you give me anything to help explain our flashlight passion to my Wife! She's never heard it from a girls pov, and perhaps there is something I'm just not saying right that she might appreciate or resonate with?! To her they all do the same thing and each new purchase is just one less pair of shoes!! Ta

Crap, wrong thread!

I’m’a go fix that now.

I can try. Is your wife also a photosensitive moon-dwelling immortal?

If not, I might have trouble explaining it to her. I don’t relate well to creatures of the day.

I just… like shiny things.

A lot.

I like bright lights and I cannot lie!
The big white ones that hurt my eye!
Well built with an itty bitty waist
And a tint with really good taste…

I like bright lights and I cannot lie!

Ask your wife how much her shoes cost? If they’re typically more expensive than your lights, sell enough pairs to buy lights to equalize that obvious imbalance. Fair is fair, right? Her makeup desk, we could buy a bunch of nice cells to equalize that big disturbance in the force right there! So, tell her you’re compromising your inner outdoorsman by buying flashlights and not guns, knives, fishing poles and all the alcohol typically consumed with those toys. :wink: See, you’re doing her a FAVOR buying lights! :bigsmile:

I have over 100 lights, my wife is ok with that, remarkably. She knows I’m home with our son, not “honkeytonkin” or in general out and about wasting money, so she’s realistic and I appreciate her for that. I get her nice stuff too, which she usually stuffs in a closet and forgets about whether it’s Victoria’s Secret or a $500 professional mixer. Go figure.

I’m giving in too, you people are great salesmen.

Put me down for one SS/CU in NW.

Please put me down for another one. An AL NW one this time. :slight_smile: I want both the NW and WW now. :bigsmile:

I’m in for one Al NW please

Oh hell Jes :) You might as well go for the SS/Cu too....you KNOW you want to ....everybody will sooner or later - especially after the samples come out.

I’m in for SS/Cu,NW,1 set.

Haha I definitely do want it. Maybe I’ll borrow my textbooks from my classmates this semester instead of buying them, to afford it! :bigsmile:

NO! ....you sell them an aluminum set for $120 :)

The sad part is… that isn’t even unreasonable. Less-capable lights often sell for more than that. Some people made a pretty nice profit reselling the original BLF X6 for a higher price, and these will be even better.

Wow! bugsy, you surprise me! I thought you liked these lights! You’re willing to give away a whole set for merely $120? :open_mouth:

Wait, the BLF X6 SE lights are worth more than we originally paid for them? If so, why?

Okay all, this is the position swap list from the first post all the way through to present.

Krono - To start off with you only need to update those with: Status = ‘Approved’ / Updated = ’N’.
After the first update it will only be a case of the new additions to this list which need updating.

All - if there are any above still with Status = ‘Pending’, and it had already been agreed by private PM only, please feel free to PM that individual again and kindly request they post a short Approval of the position swap on the thread for us to record. They could reference your original request post number, else simply which Al/CuSS list and what positions are being moved.

Any mistakes or omissions please let me know.
All position swaps should be discussed and agreed by PM first to help prevent unwanted spam in the thread. Then BOTH parties must post their request AND approval on the thread. I will then endeavour to update the swap list in this post every other evening.

Hope this is useful, please feedback if there is anything I can add or change to make it easier to track.

Keep shining,
Hirsh

Explanation of why I’ve done this and some caveats to know about the list positions here.

Due to having my wedding booked for the 13th of August, I’d like to keep the #13 s/n. My apologies to ahirshy!

Give away? Not at all David :) I Figured that Jes would want to give them a one-time deal (:)) so he could get his SS/Cu

Yes, they actually are worth more than we paid. In fact, they were worth more already when we bought them. These lights will be even more so. The fact is that people in some parts of the world, such as here in the USA, are used to paying a lot and not getting a lot. Last I looked, Lowe’s had a 1000 lumen light for ~$60 or so. Well, we can buy 1000 lumen lights all the time for half that, and they look better and are better quality than those at Lowe’s. With these Group Buys, the idea is to get an even better deal than normal, by the power of buying in bulk. For the promise of hundreds of sales, the retailer and the manufacturer are willing to work with us to lower the price and/or upgrade the lights. I expect in general, a person could get over $250USD for the V2 Aluminum set, especially if they included a decent 4-cell charger and 2 IMR 18650’s and 2 IMR 14500’s. That is quick money. You could sell lots of sets that way, I’m sure. With the right set of circumstances, and the right buyer, you could get a whole lot more than that for it. There are people that regularly pay hundreds of dollars for one flashlight that won’t have the brightness or the features that the X6 V2 will have.
