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

Buy / Sell Want to Sell
1

OK everyone. I am putting some flashlights up for bidding. Instead of just asking for a set price, I am going to allow folks on BLF to bid for various flashlights....the highest bidder gets the light. Why am I doing this? Well I will be moving away from home for the first time and I am trying to get extra money together for things needed such as pot/pans, vacuum cleaner, etc.

Now you may be asking questions like "didn't you just get these lights as a gift"? Yes I did. The person who sent them to me has told me several times via email that the lights are for me to use, sell, trade, etc. The nameless person who sent them knew I was moving so if there was something I did not need, use, or want....that is was fine with them if I sell what I do not want.

Here are the rules. Folks bid on each light for a few days or so. It is 9pm EST right now, so at 9PM EST Sunday night 5/20/12 I will call the winning bids for each light. This is open to everyone....local and international. Here is what is up for bid:

4Sevens Maelstrom X10, 4Sevens Charger, 4 Sevens 26650 battery ($158.90 new)

4Sevens Quark 123 ($59 new)regular UI

Knight Rider P-Rocket ($43.75 new cool white XML T6)

Like I said, I want to raise money for things I will need when moving. I thought this would be more fun than just trying to sell things outright. Let the fun begin.

I'll bid 50 for the maelstrom and accessories.

Surprised no one else is bidding. I would offer more but am low on funds.

Thanks for starting all this up. :)

Does the Quark 123 have pocket clip?

Which LED in P Rocket?

6

you should put these up on eBay. you're likely to get a lot more money for them there.

7

The Quark 123 has the pocket clip. The P-Rocket is the cool white XML T6 version. :)

8

$25 Quark 123

Is it the Tactical version?

9

Are we to bid in Reply posting so that everyone knows what we bid, or do Private Message bids work as well?

And I agree that ebay it the better place to auction lights.

Bump!

By the way, some of you may be wondering why I did not post this stuff on Ebay.....well it is for this reason.....the folks here have been very helpful to me, supportive, made me feel like family even thought I am visually impaired and not a real flashoholic. You helped me support the VisionWalk and gave your hard eraned money to a cause that is dear to me. You trusted me with your money via PayPal.......and sent ME the money and trusted me with that money to send it to VisionWalk. I want to give my family here a chance at the lights first. That is why I did not go the Ebay route.

First post from a longtime lurker here. I'm MorePower on CPF.

Do you know if the p-rocket is the 1.4A or the 2.8A version? I don't know if there's any way to tell other than using a DMM to measure the current.

17

How do I perform this test to give you the info you wanna know? I have a DMM.

18

Plug the leads on your DMM into the 10A and the COM spots. Turn the DMM to the highest amp measurement it has. Put a cell in the light, hold one lead on the non-anodized portion and the other on the end of the cell. That will complete the circuit, the light will come on, and the DMM will give you a reading in amps. If you lift one lead and put it down again, the light should switch modes just as if you'd pressed the tailcap.

There's a really great tutorial here on how to take various measurements on lights:
