Buy in bulk & start a business; use for party favors; throw from roofs... whatever. C8's (2nd's) for about $1.75!

But you’ll need a taobao agent to have this kind of fun.

I came across a Chinese seller who’s offering 2nd quality C8-Q5’s for 11Yuan/about $1.75US which (according to the google-bing translations) have “Configuration inconsistencies… Inconsistent color temperature” but “normal brightness”. There’s no logo, but the “pre-delivery will be rigorously tested to ensure functionality and appearance intact.” LINK

Wonderin’ about those cheap unbranded e-pray lights that don’t work for long or just aren’t quite right? Now you see why free overseas mailing can be included. Jeesh, how little do these people actually pay for these things?

The seller ends the description by basically saying that since the Q5 emitter alone goes for only 2-3 Yuan less (about 40 cents), the whole flashlight is a no-brainer.

Now where’d I put that Rosetta Stone language software? :wink:

EDIT

Yep… and the small agent commission + PP fee: been there/done that a few times “(see here)”:Greetings!, but thanks anyway.

This was more of a tongue ‘n cheek post - pointing out how cheap the production costs are in China - rather than a “real” budget offer BLF members should seriously consider. Sorry for the misunderstanding… moving outta’ BudgetLightForum Deal Alerts.

Plus 10 yuan sending to the agent, plus shipping from the agent to you!
Not crazy much, but after all will be more than $5 before you’ll receive it.
Just a side note.

From the link.

I’m in love :heart_eyes:

What's a link ??

A pretty girl with a headset? Do you think you could just get the headset without the girl?

There was a missing link on WWC 30 years ago.

What’s her telephone number? :bigsmile:

BR5-49



When I married her, invite all J)

Yeah well taobao, not really accessible to foreigners.
Second quality lol, you mean tossed away to get recycled quality?

Nothing like a pretty girl to put a smile on my face…
