I mean whats your fastest time of buying a flashlight after you browse thru CPF?

My record speed was... about 15 mins after reading thru the Fenix LOP post....

I need to stop coming into CPF that often...

just got my L2D CE last monday after 5 hrs browsing around :mecry:. And P1D CE took the longest at almost 2 weeks

The REX2.0 when it came out. Saw a post on it and the introductory price. Bought it with no knowledge of the light. Took about a minute or so...maybe two.

Just under a week to preorder the Pelican 7060.

minus 1 day, i came to CPF AFTER i bought my fenix L2D-CE.
and i ordered a cree drop-in for my SF G2 after about 10min.

the remaining stuff took longer, mostly because i couldn't afford it at the time.

I ordered the L2D-CE within a few hours of reading about it.

About 5 seconds. Still way too slow to catch some of the McGizmo waves.
I think some people here have had an :takeit:

key installed on their keyboard.

About 2 minutes when I saw Jetbeam mkIIx at a reasonable price at DX. For that price I could accept the low PWM, reverse clickie, and the virtually useless UI :green:.

I read about the Fenix P1D-CE and ordered one about 30 min. later..

If I buy anything over $20 dollars I spend lot of time studying about it. I took me about 2 months to buy My L2D-ce.:shakeheadBut now I realized I should have been on preorder. :paypal:

Mine was a few days, after someone posted how good the C cell Maglite was compared to the D cell.

I checked it out, and had to agree! Currently own two, 2-C Maglites w/ MagLEDs in them. I use one at work almost every night. So far, so good!

Time stands still when I'm exercising my flashlight addiction.

Uhm, does pre-ordering a light or part before it is even in production count?

fieldops · Jun 11, 2007

oops. Sorry :crackup:

Sometimes I have my browser tabbed with Lighthound or Fenix-Store so I can order quickly while i'm on CPF. To answer your question....30 seconds one time....I must be ill...

Well, I jumped on the mini-BOB thread as soon as it popped up... 3 minutes afterwards, to be precise. I guess that'd be my fastest.

That crafty ol' Bird scored a black A2 the other day in BST. His "I'll take it" post was time-stamped just 2 minutes after the sale thread was posted.

He must have hit the refresh button at the exact time the post went up, spotted it, made the decision immediately, then replied straight away. You really have to admire that!
