1000 posts, oh my! Winner announced.

Wow, that went by fast. Fun, educational, and surprisingly expensive for a forum with 'Budget' in it's name and 'Frugal' in it's motto. In years past I would, in my ignorance, spend $3-5 on a flashlight. Thanks.

Time for a giveaway! The usual, open to members registered Feb. 1st., 2014 or earlier; your post is your entry, random selection, your post entry is your acknowledgement that at least 80% of my posts were pure gold, etc. (Lie like you just got a hand-knitted sweater with a big kitten on front from your grandma for your birthday.)

Drawing in about a week if I can find this thread again. Thanks for playing.

Prize is a DST because

1. It's an important light in BLF history, IMHO.

2. It can impress the great unwashed masses even in stock form.

3. It's mod friendly with lots of good threads here for guidance.

4. With the clearance sales, I bought a bunch and fear being buried in a flashalanche. Got to move some out.

5. I don't own a snowblower, so can't simply Bunk them.

Edit: Forgot to list the most important reason.

6. HD isn't a mail order shop, so not everyone can get one.

Note: Batteries not included because alkaleaks aren't worth the postage. I'll include a homemade AA adapter though, runs great on Duraloops until you mod the power higher.

Not quite a week, but no entries in over 2 days so we might as well wrap it up.

Winning post is #23. Ricflair. Congrats.

Great prize, I picked up a couple from an awesome member here on Blf, so I’m good on DST’s. Good luck guys!

Count me in.

Congratz on your 1000 posts of pure gold!

Since I’m not in the US this would be a really nice way to get my hands on this :slight_smile:

Congrats and your thousand posts and thanks for the chance to win a cool light. I have actually been wanting one for a while. But the nearest home depot is a ways away and the one time I went they didn’t have any.

Just congratulations on your 1000 posts!

Congratulations on your 1000 posts!

Congrats and thanks!
And I’m in :slight_smile:

Congratz on 1000.

I reject your requirements.
I only acknowledge 79.5% gold.

I’m in thx

Congratulations!

BTW, would you be willing to sell one of your extra DST’s?
I know a very deserving senior gent. who I would like to gift one to?
My local area sold out fast.
IF not I understand.

Congratulations! 1000 posts and every single one nailed it!

And another DST giveaway, I keep joining until I win one :-)

Congratz! Count me in :slight_smile:

I’m definitely in. Was late to the party and by then any DSTs where long gone from HD. BTW: a join date of June 2013 and 1000+ posts? Very impressive ;). Thx for the chance!

Thanks for the chance to see what the DST is all about - my local Home Depot didn’t have them in stock.

Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one of them there DST’s… :slight_smile:

Thanks for the giveaway!

Count me in, thanks!

Im in for the win. I’m also one of the unlucky few who REALLY wanted to get a DST but my home depot aka Tampa area home depots NEVER stocked them even though online it said they had 20+!!! I purchased 5 online just to arrive at the store and get some other POS light. Nah nah nah, this isnt what I bought, get me my DST now! Oh we dont have any…………WTF!!!

Yeah I gave up on owning a DST and giveaways are my only change, oh well, better than no chance :smiley:

“flashalanche” :bigsmile:

I am in. Thanks for the giveaway.

I never did find Defiants on sale at my local HD. It seems whatever stock they bring in gets sold very quickly!
