at the risk of drawing heat for this topic, I wanted to bring it up. I did not want to post in anyone's sales thread so thought that I might do it here, and dont mind getting feedback, after all this is only my opinion.
A few months ago, heck even a few weeks ago, Ti lights like Dons and others were selling in excess of $700. Some are still up for sale but have notably been for sale longer without selling and some wonder why they haven't sold.
Remember this is only my opinion here.
With the recent advances in LED (Cree and Seoul) and Don and others making more lights (Don's McCree in the $450 range), I believe that this has weakened the percieved value of other lights such as the Ti PD and twisty. Some have said that due to their rareness and such that the recent advances should not have an effect on the market demand, but it seems they have.
I always here people talk about the value of some of these lights, but what it seems most forget is that an items value is only what any one person is willing to pay for it.
The Ti lights are not quite as "rare" as they used to be and thus economics comes into play here. While I myself love Don's lights and appreciate the designs behind them, I personally find more value in the new McCree lights at $450 than I do in a McLuxIII-T around $700. Remember this is just me folks.
I do welcome comments on this and would like to hear other people take on this.
Again I really mean no offense to anyone by this, but felt compelled to post was all.
Regards,
Ryan
