Surefire e1e black...is it THAT rare?

EspionageStudio.Com · Jun 12, 2012

There is currently an E1E on the big auction site right now, over $300 so far with a day to go. Wow! Is the black one rare and worth more than the Grey HA version? I know these have been discontinued and hard to get but man, that black one seems priced too high?

No doubt, they seem to be getting harder to find. I scoured the net the other day and got the last grey one in stock for $63...but over $400!!? Is they dude even going to pay up? haha, nuts.

The 2nd highest bidder has many feedback points. Certainly he is no newbie.

Maybe we are all missing something that those guys know.
I noticed it has the old Surefire logo.

Welcome to CPF!

I'll give you a newbie discount and sell you mine for $350! I'll even throw in a 6P.

Yeah, the black E1E models are getting a bit harder to find. But not that hard!

And they sure as Hell don't command as much as a slightly used SF M6. Not even remotely!

I'm used to seeing this sort of nonsense, regarding prices, on dedicated watch forums.

Hell I just had a very hard time finding a Surefire E1E HA let alone BK. I have been wanting one and finally got around to searching. It took almost two weeks but I found a place where I got 2 for $49-ish a piece. I was very pleased to even find one let alone at such a great price. Good luck to all those searching for these lights!

Make a WTB topic in the CPF MarketPlace.

Once again, yes; they're hard to find. But not even remotely impossible to track down.

I have one floating around at home - it used to live on my wife's bedside table with a KL1 head on it
they cant be that hard to find

Re: Surefire e1e black...is it rare?

I recently got 2 of them, both last in stock. I'm not searching any longer, just thought it was nuts how much $ that light was getting.

Re: Surefire e1e black...is it rare?

I suppose to some, collectors maybe, rarity equates to greater desirability. I prefer the natural HA, but I'm starting to regret not buying some black E1e lights when I had a chance.

Re: Surefire e1e black...is it rare?

Me too, I like the natural ha as well over the black. Thought it might be fun to have a black to lego with some other black parts but really that is about it.

BenChiew · Jun 16, 2012

After this everyone will be asking for more.

Benchiew, I may have done a terrible thing by posting this ;-) I hope that doesn't happen, this must be a fluke or conspiracy surely.

BenChiew · Jun 17, 2012

Ha. No problems. I will not be buying them or selling them. I already have 3 new black e1e in my collection.

EspionageStudio.Com · Jun 18, 2012

awesome! How many HA Naturals... ;-)

eg1977 · Jun 22, 2012

Gotta love those deadbeat bidders on ebay. Winner never paid, it's re-listed.

I may have 3-4pcs in HA Natural.
The black one on ebay has been relisted for non paying bidder.

Another HA seller is asking for $125 for it.

Nice little lights, but no way it's worth this much, right now!

I have a few stashed away for some special Malkoff drop ins, as is Ben!

F250XLT · Jun 22, 2012

I think I paid like $60 each for mine.
