Torch Swap.

[Arm and Leg]

I got this idea from another post, but, it sounds interesting.
What do you think?

We swap our torches with others so they can get a chance to play with it, and it goes on and on between others.

Sounds fun eh?

I have loaned out to and borrowed lights from several members over the years and it is very helpful when considering something, especially pricey Customs. I wouldn't do it with just anyone though...

Of course, nobody gives out their Tri-V to someone who has 1 post and joined milliseconds ago, I'm meaning valued and trusted members.
I agree with you.

If you can make it to a PF event, etc...that's what a lot of time is spent doing.

For example, on the East Coast (NJ) PF20 will be May 18 this year...

Sorry.

When I have done it, it was done privately, whether it was me offering to another member or them offering to me. I don't think I would feel comfortable to just post up: "Hey I have such and such lights and I'll send them to you if you want to play with them!"

Perfect, now you ARE local.



C U there!

Which one did you wind up getting?

Just remember when trading that sometimes packages get damaged/lost/misplaced.....say with a postal worker in training for instance.

Would I trade again? Sure.

Back when I first joined I became fast friends with a couple members. One of them out of the blue sent me a box full of lights to play with so I could get a taste of everything at once. Not just cheaper lights there was a drake and a Draco one o the original surefire Titans a Aeon and more than I care to name. It was a great gesture and has shaped my love of lights and how I deal with members around here. I've sent lights out to people on different occasions not to everyone but people I trust for one reason or another. I think a swap/trial is more of a personal thing that one may do for someone more than an ongoing thing.

That being said I know of a forum that does a bi yearly; Christmas an July "gift exchange". Which works out very well. The limit is usually set at around $50 but most overspend. It's a neat way to try something you may have never thought of and also get to give somebody a chance to try a light that you enjoy.
