**Where can I get a Arc AAA Ti?**

Where can I get a Arc AAA Ti?
When were these offered?
How much did they cost initially?
Do they have a HA III finish on them?
How many were made?

Whoa! I know of exactly one Ti-bodied Arc AAA, and that was made by Don (McGizmo). None were made for sale, and they certainly had no annodize on them. The price, I believe, was one million dollars.

What you see pictured there is NOT a Ti Arc AAA.

unfortunately, it is only a lightly colored le...

Hi Folks-not sure if I will be able to get this on the board-last try seems to have fizzled.Can any of you tell me the best place to get Arc AAA LS at the best price? I am a newby-trying to get 10 for Christmas for family. Thought it would be one light that all could be made safe with year long.Nice stocking stuffer too.Texas tactical will be out till Feb, and don't know yet about Viacomtel.Idea's?

Sorry that was LE not LS. Someday I hope to get one LS.

 

[Rothrandir]

if your looking for an arc aaa ls, you will have to wait a long-long time...somewhere along the lines of never probably

if you are talking about an arc aaa le, then check brightguy and glow-bug, viacomtel is a good place also i believe, they have the lowest prices i think.

In a pinch you could save yourself some money and get everybody a standard AAA. Should be easier to come by... and let's face it: Will anybody on your Xmas list really care about the LE differences?

hey nonbox,
The light in your link is a normal LE, nicely pictured by x-ray...

 

[x-ray]

Sorry nonbox, it's just a LE that's been photoshop'ed

Here's the before and after shot:

Used it as a little joke a few month back.

Perhaps one day a Ti Arc will be a reality, for now we can only dream

 

[B@rt]

If I may add, a dream shared by more people....

Peter, are you there?

Just out of curiousity - how much would you pay for an Arc AAA Ti?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Well that's a tough one, being that the Arc AAA is my absolute favorite flashlight I would probably be willing to pay a large sum for one.

As I'm currently only working part time I could only stretch to about $150, but if I was in full time employment I would be willing to go to $400.

Yes I know $400 is way to much for a keychain flashlight but I'm totally mad and a confirmed flashaholic

 

[hotfoot]

x-ray, WOW! You can't be truly serious, can you?
$400!!!

Peter - if you're there - all you need is a coupla thousand of customers like X-ray a year and you'll be set for the good life!

Well, I guess, if the brassies went for $300+ a pop on auction, the Ti's can't possibly fare any less spectacularly...

 

[x-ray]

Come on I'm not that mad (am I ?

), people pay way more than $400 for Ti knives & watches.

Take a look over on USN or Bladeforums...

 

[B@rt]

No, not mad..., just obsessed...

 

[Rothrandir]

well, having no job...$60

but for a tungston...$120
