The old style (with optic, the new one got a reflector) Inova X1 needs a new home ;)

Fry's has a clearance sale, $4.90/light :D

CPF member Canuke bought the whole stock of two Fry stores IIRC ;)

Is there any other CPF member that could buy two or three lights for me?

I would cover all costs :)

Thanks!

I hope this is the right place to post this ;)

Be happy to help. I was at the Palo Alto store and saw both silver and black X1's. Which ones do you want? Send me a PM with you address and I'll reply with my PP. I'm assuming I'll just ship the light & lanyard/holster - no pkg.

cool :cool: thanks Sam for helping floscherl out. I ended up committing all of mine to various uses before he contacted me. I didn't expect to do that so fast when I picked them up, I figured on having a few spares for sure.

Hate to rain on people's parade, but I went to Fry's today to check out their stock. The white LED X1's are marked at 19.99. The blue LED X1's are available at $4.90 and they had 2 black and 2 silver bodies left. If there is interest, I would consider heading over to the Sunnyvale Fry's to see what they have, but I believe their white LED X1's would also be marked at 19.99 - I could be wrong...If you are interested, pls be specific as to what you want. That way, if I can't get exactly what you're looking for, you don't get it and I don't get left holding the ....

I don't care about the colour of the LED. I'm am going to swap it out with a NichaCS anyway.

Would someone like to help this frozen Canadian?

I guess I'll head back up to Fry's this afternoon and see what they have.

When I got my red X5, they had three or four entire hangers full of blue LED lights both in titanium and in black.

If anybody is going to Fry's, and if they are ~$5, I would take 1 blue and 3 green, either finish.

Thanks,
Danny

You're correct. I was at the San Jose Fry's last night and they only had one package that was marked as a White X1, and it was priced at 19.99. Unfortunately, upon closer examination, it appeared that someone had already swapped out (stolen) the contents of that package and substituted a blue version in that package. So if you're looking at white ones, be sure that you check the light to insure that it is indeed white.

EDIT: Sorry, my confusion, the above should have been 1 white X5 package that was marked at $29.99, where someone had stolen the white one and replaced the light in the package with a blue one. There were about 3 White X1s (no other colors) marked at 19.99, scattered around at the endcaps and the flashlight section.

You'll probably have better luck if you offer pay for their gas, taxes, packing materials, and perhaps a stipend for their time in addition. Though it's mighty nice of you to offer to pay for the shipping.

Luck has nothing to do with it. cmendoza's a good guy and I'll pick him a couple X1s if they still have any at my local Fry's.

Ok, here's the lucky lotto winners. There were only a total of 8 X1's (4 black, 4 silver) at the two Fry's stores. So the breakdown of who gets what:

Floscherl - 2 black, 1 silver

Luigi - 1 black

DEEAR - 1 silver

Greenlight - 1 black, 2 silver

If you aren't listed above, my apologies but these guys were first to PM me and as you all realize, it's limited quantities. Maybe Cratz2 or Brighteyez can help the others. Floscherl & Greenlight - I didn't give you everything you asked for to allow the other guys to participate.
Have fun and I'll PM you with specifics as I'll try to ship by Friday.

We may be hitting the same stores, and if you've already cleaned them out, there's not much I'm going to be able to do. Which stores did you clean out? The San Jose (Brokaw) store only had white X1s ($19.99) the other night when I was there.

Brighteyez - I took out the Palo Alto and Sunnyvale stores. Brokaw musta been hit by someone else. There is one in Fremont, but I hate the bridge...
