    Sold/Expired WTS/WTT - Pineapple Bodies (2 Left)

    Hey CPF! I recently found some of my old lights in storage and the nostalgia hit me, so I'm looking to get back into the collecting game some. I have 3 PEU Pineapple bodies from my own stock. They're new and never used, wrapped in the bubble wrap - they have been stored, so I can't say they...

    I guess I just figured that with all the technical advances, SOMEBODY would have come up with something similar. I'm guessing the Milky would be expensive enough to worry about constantly. If I wanted ulcers, I'd just carry my AlPD! Looks like the LX2 and A2 are the LED contenders from...

    Those are nice lights, but they're clicky, which I DON'T want. I'm looking for something akin to the Surefire A2 or L(x?)2.. or as my signature says, a McGizmo PD. I like the size of the McGizmo, but not the part where I'd never be able to replace it if I lost it. It's a safe queen :( So is...

    Hey CPF, been a while! I'm looking for a new light. Lemme go through the list for you guys.. 1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? - there's nothing good in a B&M around here, so online it is! 2) Budget: Flexible, not looking to break the bank but I like nice things. 3) Format...

    Hey CPF!!

    Man, it's been a while! Been doing MUCH more lurking than posting as of late :) Not much new really, just been doing a lot more locally and haven't had the time to be online lately. Yesterday I had a grumpy old man come into my shop with a Surefire G2, though. He needed some batteries...

    Lifestyles of the Flashaholics...

    I'm a 24-year-old College Graduate, working in Retail. I make between 7-8 bucks an hour based on how well the week goes. I don't like retail, but it's a temporary thing while I look for a better opportunity. I'm really where I am to support the wife, who has a great job that covers the house...

    Lowes selling refurbs

    I never realized until working in retail that this was a common practice. In my store, items tend to fall into three different categories based on cost - Do Not Repair, Remanufacture, and Repair. If somebody returns something defective, we do one of the three - cheap stuff is not repaired...

    Will my package still come..? (new town construction, now my street sign is wrong)

    The post office probably knows where the street is and will deliver same as always. If it's coming UPS or FEDEX, that might put a hitch in things and I'd see if I couldn't find the house number on the wrong street where your package might go. If you know what company is delivering it, you...

    Road Flares

    I can testify first-hand that the Turboflare will continue to work frozen under at least 1/2'' of ice.. Getting it out was no picnic :P

    Digital TV converter box

    Radioshack will be carrying them in the coming months, according to corporate. Pricing looks to be ~$70, with the rebate coupon from the gov't bringing it down around $30. I'm personally using an old Motorola Voom box, so I get surround sound and everything -

    first off, I am a new member and would like to learn... question on batts and charger

    Welcome to CPF, Noober-eeno! Just to kinda set things stright for you - CR123 batteries, in and of themselves, are not rechargable. R-CR123 (otherwise known as RCR123 among many other names) are rechargable. As far as mAh is concerned, you can generally be safe with more mAh = more runtime...
