It's fun buying new ones when they come out, but what about those then-new lights you don't really use anymore?

I try to get rid of the unused ones on eBay if I plan on buying anything new.

Horrors! That would be like selling your children on ebay. :eek:
Instead you should trade them for new ones at Marketpalce BST!

*EDIT* Just to clarify I meant trading flashlights for other flashlights or money to buy flashlights. Not selling your children to buy flashlights.
Well unless of course they are real brats. :devil:

people only buy SFs nowdays on ebay, their fees are pretty outrageous. I'd rather sell it low at the BST than wait 7-10 day auctions.

I use ebay for other stuff, but have had great luck with the CPFM so I sell all my "surplus" lights there.

Consider I don't have enough lights yet, no, I don't.

Not enough lights as in I still need a couple more so I can have a light in each vehicle, not the CPF version I still have a couple more spots in my 100 cubic feet display case. :D

I'd sell them if they had any value, but I make it a question of principle to only ever buy flashlights with excellent price/performance ratios (and I'm not in the habit of buying HIDs). All my surplus flashlights put together (not many) would be unlikely to net me more than €30, and that's if I ever found anyone willing to buy them.
