As far as my girlfriend is concerned, all of my lights cost $50 or less and I've had all of them around forever.
NDI? It was like $40, I've had it for years
E01 on my keys? It was like a dollar, it's always been there
LD10? Practically free, it was on sale months back
Quark? This is the same light as the LD10 as long as they are both not seen at once or examined closely
L0D? $7 used of course
In retrospect all those lies are starting to add up and I'm starting to feel bad...
That doesn't work for me, my wife knows that I like everything brandnew and that I don't buy outdated stuff (as a 6 months old model on sale...).
I found another way : I buy customs now. The last one that arrived had written something like "flashlight without battery - 19$" on the parcel. Nope, the lady isn't stupid, she knows it cost more, but impossible to find out if it was 2x, 5x or even 20x more!
Two weeks ago I arranged a big light sale : A dozen lights had to go. Half of them really went away, the "outdated stuff" more or less. Some good lights for some good people in reality and it gives me the opportunity for a dozen more lights, 2009 is saved by now and I'll stop buying flashlights in 2010, no more drinking, no more drugs, I'll be the perfect man and husband beginning on 1st january. Promised!
Where were we at? Yeah, I wanted to tell you about the two Zebralight and the McGizmo which arrived yesterday and the NDIS I bought the day before!
