More outrageous claims on ebay

[ReconTech]

Has anyone seen one of those NightStars, looks interresting, but not worth $35

Yup...

Here's the old:

I'd say they're worth every penny if you're in the dark and your batteries are all dead!

What exactly is false about the claims in the first auction? I see no claims of specs or anything to BE false.

Just the "Visible up to a mile away." claim, which is easily true. It's not saying that you'll be able to see the reflection of your beam off of something a mile away, it's saying that if you point it at someone a mile away they'll be able to see it.

Now that second claim of 350 lumens... That's utter BS.
