Old Light Dealers or NOS Dealers? (New Old Stock)

I'm relatively new to flashoholism and occasionally see lights that aren't made anymore that I'd love to buy new. I know that it's too late after models change but in other addictions I've found dealers who get lots or buyouts and sell old stock.
I got a cheapish Dexlight from DX early on and saw that it was a copy of a Jetbeam C-LE v2 or so and I was looking for some but they just seem to disappear once they've removed them from the product line. I'm sure the Fenix P1D and others will suffer the same fate. The Fenix are on fleabay, but the Jetbeam and a couple others I was looking for don't return any hits.
Any NOS dealers? NOS store?
I'll eventually post a WTB in Marketplace but was hoping to get new ones.

What lights are you looking for maybe we can help you find them? Some older model lights are hidden deep on some dealers website's.
 
To post the lights I'm looking for (at this moment) will expose the latest dark turn my addiction has taken: I love twistys!
I got a fantastic Liteflux LF2 from Gunga off CPFMarketplace so I'm looking for an LF5 with the filters and diffuser and would also love to find a JetBeam CL-E (v 1.2?), the improved version with higher freq PWM and twisty. I used to think twistys were sort of simple but the LF2 has changed my opinion as it's just as easy to invoke advanced programming features with a twisty as a clicky once you get used to it. I find the reduction of electromechanical components a big plus also.
There are other lights that I'll see mentioned that tout features or characteristics that are currently unavailable but fit some need or interest I have.

I'll post on WTB and hope for the best but it seems like there has to be someone out there selling closeout/overrun/NOS flashlights.
Maybe the manufacturers of LED flashlights have a better idea of the units they need to produce and don't wind up with a bunch of unsold stock?

Thanks, and maybe this will be a "heads up" for CPFers who are unaware of the Marketplace WTS, WTT, and WTB sections as a great place to move their old or unused lights.
