More Goodwill Incans

[Skyeye]

Scored a couple of nice lights at Goodwill today. The first one is a rather unique camping/hurricane lantern made by Energizer. It's water resistant and is powered by a standard 6V lantern battery. It has a fresnell lens not unlike a lighthouse and casts a very bright 360 deg. flood. It is well made and has a really rugged handle. $1.00.

The others are a father and son pair of generic maglites. They are both like new and came in a good looking aluminum case. They are focusable and both have spare bulbs in their encaps. Ironically, they have somewhat better machining and reflector throw than the original maglites that I own. Their beams have less artifacts. Mine for $2.99/both in the box.:devil:

Another happy thrift store find to add to my collection.

I got this one at Goodwill too! It didn't work and all it needed was the SLA battery to be plugged back in! $2.99

And I thought I was the only smart one that scoured the Goodwill stores!

That's a really rugged light Carbine! What's the brand name?

LOL, I read this and thought "What! You bought a carbine at the Goodwill?..Super-awesome"

My Goodwill never has any lights. But if you ever need any t-shirts from any Frats, give me a shout.

I've found my share of lights at thrift stores. Of course, most of the lights are inexpensive plastic contemporary lights such as the kid oriented 2xAA lights. However, I have obtained a Kel-Lite, 2 poly stingers with their charger and one working battery stick, and Captains and Sportsman and similar. I have also obtained numerous plastic lanterns. Sometimes people toss these lights as soon as the batteries and/or bulbs are used up from what I can tell.

It doesn't have a name branded to it. Only a sticker saying 10,000,000 Candle Power. I actually don't have any room for it and want to sell it for $21 shipped. Well worth it for anyone who doesn't have a way to turn off their street lights at night!

wish I had a decent thrift store around here, the stores here either looks like the stuff even goodwill wouldn't take for donations or have gone "antique" and prices are through the roof.
