- find a listing with zero bids (if you can’t find one, wait a day or two and try again)
- bid the minimum price (+ optionally some extra to avoid snipers)
-> this listing is now “reserved” to you (no honorable BLFer will take it away from you)
- wait patiently
pay & enjoy
This way we can make sure that many BLFers will get those lights with very affordable price.
Original post:
Thrunite T30 + Ti for $39.99 (two eBay auctions, ending in 1h, zero bids so far).
That’s an amazing price for those. Please don’t outbid each other…
(would have bought one of those myself, but I already have T30 and I just bought a 5xTi bundle for $40)
T30S is the new model with tailcap side switch for changing modes. It has also a real low mode of 9.5lm (not 0.9lm firefly like in T30)
Thrunite-store will list more of those => let’s just pick the next un-bidded one and let others get the first ones for $39.99 (I “reserved” the second one, 3rd one is still “available”)
I'm in on the last T30S for $39.99, the one with bid over on 11/17/12 23:44:58
T30 is a beautiful light and I use it a lot. Side switch is cool, not worth the premium they are charging but for this price it's great. This will make a great secondary light for cycling with the side switch mode change.
I think Thrunite is on to this. After two days of no activity, I got out bid over night. Just for yucks I kept increasing my bid by $1 and no matter what you bid you get beat immediately. I gave up at $51 but I bet Thrunite has set an autobid right up to the Buy it Now price. T30/T30S is a very nice light at $40-$50, but not worth the price they want for Buy it Now ($76) or regular retail ($140).
Ok, this is turning out to be one of my record flashlight spend days. After plopping down $90 on Maglites today, I just placed a what the hell ebay bid on a Thrunite T30S for $45 and surprise, I won. I was expecting to get outbid like the last time. In 6 Days here's my totals:
Maglites $127.50 - includes a custom Mini Mag from Old Lumens
Thrunite $84.00 - In addition to the T30S, I picked up a T10 + Ti earlier in the week.
Now where's my copy of the 7 steps of flashaholism....
