FS: ...yet more customs. (3.5" TH FM Hotwire, Ano'd Ti Aleph) $$$ drops...
...more must go...
If an item isn't listed it likely isn't included.
If a detail isn't listed, then it's likely not known by me.
If I didn't list its specific physical condition, it's not worth mentioning (i.e. still in as-received condition from the manufacturer/dealer).
No batteries will be included (if I find some around the house, I may include some at shipping time)
None of these lights would I consider MINT (unless noted); even purchased new some/many have little specs of ano missing here or there (and I'm not photographing every spot, so please don't ask)
For lights that include the original packaging, the boxes have been in storage, they are not in as-new condition.
Some usage terminology:
· never carried, never put into "use": means it likely sat on a shelf or in a box, but was still used lightly indoors to either enjoy in ownership or compare with other lights
· new-out-of-box: means it was purchased fairly recently and just taken out of packaging; still in as-received condition
· carried as a backup: means it sat in my tool bag's interior pocket for most of it's life
· carried once: means I pocketed it to work once; the rest of it's life it likely sat on a shelf or in a box, but was still used lightly indoors to either enjoy in ownership or compare with other lights
· carried as a primary: means a user (but I take decent care of my stuff)
· unknown history: uh, kinda self-explanatory
· shelf queen; sat on a shelf during the duration of my ownership
First posted unconditional "I'll take it." (followed by payment) trumps all other requests/PMs/inquiries/etc.
All prices are shipping included. I ship USPS CONUS; First Class for small items, Priority for more or more expensive items (or at request at an additional cost). I will ship internationally, though I prefer not to (expect a $20+ increase for international shipping assuming purchased items will fit in my existing boxes). If you are international, please state so in your communication with me when requesting a price quote. Sounds like a stupid request, but sometimes I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, so I need a blatant reminder.
