If you really want an F9, contact 3158a@supfire.net, Sweety Yu, she said she will honor the $28 shipped to the approx 80 countries on their list. If you wish to send a PayPal for that amount to 3158@supfire.net (notice there is no “a” after the 3158 in the PayPal address), be sure to include your name, address, and telephone number along with the lights model number and mention BLF.
With only about 18 lights on the list below, not really worth the hassle. Anyone really wanting one of these can contact SupFire directly and get similar if not the same pricing I’ve gotten and shown here. Sorry folks, just not enough interest to get the ball rolling.
I have purchased and modified a SupFire F9 that I like a lot. I’ve taken some quick pictures and started a thread on this light. Quite a few people asked about a possible group buy, so I’m starting this thread as an interest thread to get an idea what kind of numbers we might purchase on this F9. Thread on this here.
I’ve spoken with SupFire and they are agreeable to doing this. They gave me a list of countries that they can ship to via Singapore Post, which they feel would be faster and safer to ship. The M6 group buy went well with some 80 lights purchased by us here. I was told that if we can do similar on this light, they can customize the UI with no blinkies, HI-MED-LO and asked if there were other requests.
So here’s your chance! A very nice “Titanium” finish F9, slightly larger than a C8 with very nice beam profile and custom UI.
I have to verify shipping costs and the price quoted, it’s quite low! So let me verify that and in the meantime, let’s get an idea of how many of these we want…
Thanks for your support, ideas on UI and emitter, and for bearing with me…never done this before! 
EDIT: Pricing
I have a list of countries that Ms. Yu provided, with 2 different pricing levels depending on the country. There’s some 80 countries covered. First part of this is nice, Second part…shipping…not so much! Price level 1 is $15.00 including PayPal fees. Price level 2 is $17.00 including fees. Depends on the country, with the list being split almost in half. The kicker is the shipping. Drives the prices up to $28.00 and $30.00.
Now, If I’d just told you straight up $28 and $30 it might not have been so bad. But knowing the light itself is only half the cost, that makes it an issue for me and I’m sure a lot of you as well. Ms. Yu suggested the Singapore post being a bit more expensive but quicker and safer. I will ask about a rock bottom option using China Post or any other more economical alternative. This is about enough to make me say Nevermind! I have shipped a few lights to the Philippines and elsewhere for around $8 with insurance from the US, so I know it shouldn’t be so high. Heck, it’s a tough light, stuff the little box in an envelope and tape it over, it’ll handle it!
At any rate, I will try and see if I can get this lower. I don’t like bickering, horsetrading, or whatever you want to call it. I’m the kind that if your first offer isn’t your best offer, you lost a sale. I DID pay the high shipping when I ordered the 2 I got, because I wanted the light pretty bad and they helped me out very nicely on an issue with a M6. Without that incentive, don’t know that I’d pay almost as much for shipping as the light itself costs. I reckon y’all will give me plenty of insight as to public opinion in this matter.
