One wonders if the seller is a CPF member. If so, who would he be? 😁

I could possibly see a few, truly rare Arc AAA models going for exorbitant prices, let's say a sterile -no engraving, red , CPF edition or a blue or green anodize sample in pristine condition . But I can't help but wonder WHO is paying that for the mass production product 
? For those inflated prices, I agree, McGiz Sapphire or totally custom Peak .

He is connected to the company through a relative that worked for them. I talk to him sometimes.
It's Ru Paul.

What if the admin is Rupaul? He got really bent out of shape over GNFOS.
In 2010, I was looking around online for suggestions for a new pocket knife. One of the sites I went to in my search was EDC Forums, and there I found not only knives but all sorts of EDC items. There was even a thread on keychains, and in many of the pictures people posted of their keychain setups there was a little flashlight on their key ring along with their keys. This light I learned was the Arc AAA. Most of them were Arc's aluminum version, but a few of them were McGizmo's titanium Sapphires or Ti Arc AAAs. Intrigued, I eventually found my way here to CPF and the wide world of flashlights, custom as well as production. I don't have any Arcs anymore, but I have plenty of other AAA lights. I remember the Arc days as exciting times, not only for all that I was learning then, but also for the atmosphere of the whole flashlight community.

In 2009, I wanted an LED upgrade for my Suefire G2. It became apparent that I was asking a seller on eBay too many questions when he suggested I check out CPF. 
The rest is history... except for the light. That I still have. 😁

The Arc timeline was interesting, intriguing and fun. All good things must end. I still really enjoy switching on the batwing LSL for a little late night pulley maintenance.
So envious of you right now. Won't lie.
Yup, I found that listing on eBay too. Thankfully there was a more reasonable one for just the one black Arc. Like-new condition. So, I bought that one. Still hunting for a camo version. Though with my luck, the day I find it and test it out; I'll likely drop it in the grass and never find it again.

I was wondering what happened to EDCF. when did it close?
I mailed Jon some boots back in the day, after his footwear was mentioned.
I had an arc AAA and an arc AA.

I sure am having a hard time finding an HA AAA in red LED or UV.
