costs an extra buck to ship it to the states ..
You guys in Aust. get all the good deals :(
lucky you
Oh thats odd, usually shipping to the US is cheaper than AU.
Its free shipping for me here but I don’t plan to buy any.
I think it’s worth the extra dollar or so to get one with a Q5 from a seller that ships free to everywhere anyway.
The only problem with that logic I guess is that you can’t always be sure that the Q5’s are really Q5’s, and not actually Q3’s as well.
I believe this is a few cents cheaper, with free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-Focus-Zoom-In-Out-CREE-Q5-LED-7-W-300lm-Bright-Mini-Flashlight-Torch-/400317444327?\_trksid=p5197.m1998&\_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D17%26meid%3D1663181391111816780%26pid%3D100017%26prg%3D1017%26rk%3D1%26#ht_5342wt_932
Just stumbled across an even better deal (UltraOK ZS-2 Q5):
$3.69 + $0.99 shipping: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CREE-Q5-LED-7-W-300lm-Adjustable-Focus-SLIM-Bright-Mini-Flashlight-Torch-Black-/400276119390?pt=AU_Sport_Camping_Hiking_Lamps_Torches&hash=item5d3250df5e
Thanks for the heads up! Bought "some". Just in time for Christmas. :)
Wow is it already winter in Helsinki ..do austrailians celebrate christmas in july??
I'm so confused
It made more sense when the world was flat
Ordered a couple. Cheapest I´ve seen, so had to take a few…
what model exact grey or black?
Seller increased the price by $1 AUD
Thanks a lot for helping me spend more money. J)
Is it the same as the sk 68 that was being sold? Id hate to buy it and find its less bright…
From the 8th of Aug to the 28th of Aug, this seller only sold 8 of these lights. On the 29th of Aug, the seller reduced the price and sold 24 within 2 days (mostly to BLF members I would say). Since the price has gone back up, there has only been one sale:
Looks like they were trying to cash in on the sudden influx of interest. But it’s obviously waned now. I’ll be watching (out of curiosity mostly) to see if they reduce the price again.
the’s bulk purchase has been immortalized in there for all to see 
Has been there for ages. Says: "Sorry, only 0 in stock" :(
Got mine yesterday. All of them were good & working 100% properly. TC currents 1.0-1.2A with TFF 14500 and 2.0-2.2A with standard alkaline.
I'm happy. :)
More current from a standard 1.5V alkaline?
Yes. More tailcap current, but less power to emitter. (1.5 vs 4.2V)
Normal scenario for SK68 - boost driver. Will squeeze the battery to the very last juice.
Anyway, the "original" SK68 with Sipik inscription is now only $6.58 from verosale, in case anyone interested. The Sipik and Ultrafire 3-mode is the best version IMO. Link below:
