X5s run about $40 here...
Personally I wouldn't sell my old lights unless I really needed the money, after awhile you get attached to them, dim or not dim:thumbsup:
I started searching info on the X5 online about a year ago...looked up on lighthound and found some X5s that needed a new home. when it finally came I was appalled by the size... [I mean gee...its bigger than my...um..nevermind] its small...very small:nana:
the first few weeks was in a state of nurture...in the following month, the beating began. up to today it has rolled on asphalt, swam in mud, fell into the drainage ditch leading out of a cesspool :green: at a farm, stolen then returned, kicked around and flipped across fences with dogs on one side and concrete on the other...by some kids who can't catch a golfball with baseball gloves, unconvinced that its "unbreakable"
lets see...up to this year its drained ~20 sets of near dead cr123as from surefire incans...batteries removed, locked on and thrown in with the laundry. It had the privilege of becoming dad's work light for awhile where it sat in the same pocket he used to store finishing nails...[dad's not to impressed with most of my lights, especially lithium based]:devil:
Other than a bit of dents on the bezel, tailcap, and some damage on the body the light works awfully well, except now the rubber boot seems about to be worn through [kind of a soft mushy feeling] so for now its twist on operations only
