I know this is a no-discussion thread but the pricing model is horribly inconsistent. Check feedback and make sure that those low-priced lots are being left positive feedback my more than a few users.
This TF 3 XM-L seems cheap for $19.89!
Tractor Supply has a bunch of Jobsmart flashlights on clearance for $2.99. Some seem like decent host material.
Let's use this for a discussion thread as several of the lights pictured in the OP are the ones on clearance.
EDIT: Link fixed.

Cree XR-E Q5 1-Mode Drop-in LED Module for WF-501B-like Flashlights (3.7V~12V) $4.99 65% OFF
26.5mm Cree XPE-WC-R2 5-Mode LED Drop-in Module (4.2V Max) $4.52 57% OFF
Not bad of a price if you ask me. Didn’t see it on eBay for cheaper, I might just buy one to replace one of my dead ultrafires laying around.
I know you can buy a XML light for $10 though.
From DTR, a very respected member and provider of quality laser components for our friends over at laserpointerforums: he is liquidating the last of his supply of 12 Pack Nidec 4-Pin U60T12MUA7-57 60mm x 25mm Tube Axial Variable Cooling Fans on ebay. I needed 15 of them and he sent me a PP invoice for $30 delivered!! Thats only $2 each for what would normally cost about $25 for each fan! The fans arrived 3 days later and were carefully double wrapped and in perfect condition.
From his add: “Listing is for a quantity of 12 very high flow and extremely quite Nidec UltraFlo U60T12MUA7-57 60 x 60 x 25mm 4600 RPM Tube Axial NBRX Bearing Cooling Fans with current limiting protection and PWM speed controls. These fans are rated for 50,000 hours. Normal retail on these are about $25 each.
These fans are new pulls from a brand new never used XJ-M140 DLP projector. They have absolutely amazing ability to push air. If you have a project that requires some extreme cooling and low noise these are perfect.
These fans are a special order upgraded version of the U60T12MUA7-51 model by Nidec made for Casio’s DLP Laser/LED hybrid projectors that are not available anywhere else.”
You might PM him through laserpointerforums or through the ebay link above to see if he can adjust quantities to suit your needs. Once they are gone, thats it. His store link doesnt show any fans, but you could also contact him there to see what he can do for you. Mine will be used to cool very expensive 100 watt bridgelux emitters, where a cooling fan failure would prove catastrophic.

Confusing as to when the sales end.
For those in the US, Home Depot is clearancing the Maglite 3D LED for $7.53. I picked one up tonight even though I have too many Maglites.
FYI - it's not listed at the discount price online for me, and they weren't in the flashlight section, they were on an end-cap clearance area.

Sorry for discussion but that ’s the second Aurabuy link posted recently that comes up as having malware on it.
