Surefire Titan (factory sealed - EDIT: not anymore :D )

Re: Surefire Titan (factory sealed) - To Open, Or Not To Open

Curiosity killed the cat~. Whether or not this simple act will kill the selling price is ambiguous. Mine looked just like yours a couple months back and curiosity got the best of me. I got handsome number 0724! It's still brand new (minus the shrink-wrap) and yet on the MP for awhile now.

Since you already have an EDC and the battery thing was solved, I would keep it wrapped IF you plan on selling it. Not only does shiny wrap seem to obstruct the camera focus :naughty: but it might help in a future sale.

I really think #0724 is a nice combination of numbers.
Even though people value more with such numbers as #222, #333, #777, etc.

I agree. :thumbsup: That's why I called it handsome.

OK OK OK

I bought it - I couldn't help myself - I plan to use it - I opened it ...

And the winner is,

She's a beauty - nice beam, not too blue at all.

How it was...

How it is...took me about 10 seconds to decide to open it!!

Haha. That's awesome Dan! Is this your first Titan/T1A? I sure am going to have lots of nice lights of your to check out when you do that DC meet.

Re: Surefire Titan (factory sealed) - To Open, Or Not To Open

Nah, I owned 2 T1As at one time..one modded and one not. Sold the un-modded one, and guess what? I'm about to list the modded one! Nice warm beam with improved focus. Just don't need 'em both!

:wave:

And we really need to do the DC Photofest! Milky and I are kicking it around....it needs to happen. It would be so cool to 'meet' so many of my friends!

Just never understood the concept behind a collector never opening or touching the item that he bought. With the exception of wine collectors who sometimes wait several years for a particular vintage to age before enjoying it, why never open it?

If the item is a pure investment that will definitely be sold at a later date, that's one thing. But to collect and enjoy it . . . Yeah, got to open it up. (Otherwise you're just the care-taker of a future owner's property.)

Glad to see an opening did in fact take place.

Nah leave it sealed. oo:

Re: Surefire Titan (factory sealed) - To Open, Or Not To Open

Couldn't leave it sealed - I want to USE it. My struggle with this hobby is keeping the collection within a budget level that I consider manageable.

If I could afford TWO of everything, it might just be that one is used and one remains 'shelved.' Unfortunately, considering the type of lights I enjoy collecting, that just isn't economically feasible!

So, whatever lights are in my collection are cared for, used and enjoyed. When I bought this one from Brighterisbetter, it was - from the start - with the intention of opening it and enjoying it. Glad I bought it and glad I opened it. I'd do it all over again! And anyway, I expect this one to make the "keeper" list.

939? Awesome serial number.

939? Awesome serial number.

I agree! And as Lisa pointed out, it's a palindrome, too...



No regrets opening it - I plan to keep it and use it. No babying this little treasure....

And you would be right! You finally convinced me!:thumbsup:

And as for the avatar, you should keep it - it's very cool.......and appropriate! :thumbsup:

I wonder who out there has #1 and #1000?

 

[run4jc]

Well, #939 has been with me for a few days and has settled in. It is a nice little user, my 'nighttime' light. thought I'd share a few photos...

Some lights were just meant to be used - in fact, MOST lights are meant to be used!

She's definitely a beauty! :bow:
