Here my idea.
Many of us have “extra” currently non productive parts.
If we were to pass around an extra parts box then many of us could benefit from others “extras” yes its a flashlight wealth redistribution scheme (but entirely voluntary).
I was the beneficiary of a number of emitters from which I took 2
then I added some 18650 cells, a flashlight “host” (a dead dive light)
lots of C8 cell extensions
misc electronic components
two soraa mr16 bulbs
small copper buss bar
and “other stuff” I cant remember.
What my goal is to have this traveling parts box become bigger and more complete over time (sort of like litter, make it nicer then the way you found it, kind of idea 
So here is the proposal.
So the basic plan is to “auction” off the box, as in give me a pitch for what you can add (parts not money)(the focus of this is to add value to the box and pay it forward) Thus the RobinHood’s parts box.
I will ship it my cost to that “winner” (shipper can choose any criteria they like to choose the winner, heck the criteria might even change over time!
The “winner” then has 30 days to use anything in the box, unused items go back in the box so the next soul has a chance to USE the parts.
I envision this as opportunity to find missing part(s) needed to finish projects, not as a way to make a personal kit and set it aside for 6 months (thus becoming just more unused inventory) if you get my drift.
Each winner will be expected to add their contribution and make a new thread, choose the next recipient (the sender pays the postage) and get it posted in 30 days or less. That way if we play our cards right on a monthly basis we will be having an additional member posting of the RobinHood’s parts box.
Now if your situation is such that you don’t really have much to ad but you can make excellent use of the RobonHood’s parts box feel free to make your case in the thread, or if too modest (pun intended, get it?) a PM will also be accepted.
This is not meant to be prickly thing, just simply an opportunity for us to individually to thin our non productive parts (any and all flashlights or parts there of are accepted) to be passed on so that the winner with enough gumption and initiative can make use of the windfall (before sending unused parts on again in 30 days or less).
Sound good?
Any questions?
The floor is open
Enjoy
P.S. as this is meant to be an on going thing and not a once off event this is more wham bam then long drawn out process unlike mfg give a ways my goal is not to get the max number of people (ie sales leads) it is simply to get it kicked off in such a way that it keeps moving under its own steam.
