Anybody else notice how the Ultra G has been posted for sale ALL OVER the place the last week? And the prices are shooting up. I've even seen one listed as high as $45. What's going on? What did I miss?!? :thinking:

The CMG Inf Ultra is a discontinued light and there are some who see enough value in it to buy it - for whatever price. Unlike electronics and information technology devices, obsolescence can actually hike up the value.
That having been said for $10K I'm quite sure I could convince a machine shop to clone it and start selling them

And the "TulipCrash" the next year... when thousands of tulip-bulb speculators woke up and discovered they'd "invested" in something not nearly as rare/valuable as they'd hoped for.

For that much you can get a Peak Kilimanjaro which is even nicer. It also has HA3, you can get it with "snow" led and there's a 7 led version available. I wish they'd make a version with a lug tail. Then the transformation would be complete.Lmtfi said:While $45 is more than it originally retailed for I don't think it out of line for a great little light that you can't just go out and buy.
