There has got to be a lot of you that did worse this month than me...


This is the damage this month

SF M6
Fenix T1
Fenix LOD CE
Malkoff Drop In
Terralux Drop In
5 Boxes of SF123
20 AA Eneloops
UCL, Clips, Nyogel, Li-ions, etc

I broke the $500 limit I set for myself =(

now to order my KX2....I can't just have an empty E2e body just sitting there with no head!

NovaTac 120T
NovaTac 120P
Surefire L1
Eneloop Kit
Misc parts

Monthly Total: $647.00 around there kinda of in a round about way :eek:..;)

This was a last minute spending spree that I planned on for a few months. I really do not need anything so once the new Inovas come out then I will pick up two of them but until then I do really want or need anything.

Well, you got me beat. I've spent that much in a month, before, possibly more than once, but this month.....ummm....probably only $45 for the Zebralight, unless anybody else can peg me on something else. I may have bought a AAA Huntlight for $12, but I can't be sure if that was this month or not. I, also, *may* (or may not, really) have spent $138 on lights for gifts, but that could have been last month (didn't get here until this month, though) and gifts don't really count. I might have purchased a Terralux 2-3 cell Mag upgrade (SSC) for $24, but that could have been last month. I did, however, spend $20 on some giveaway gadgets that I'm reserving for the March LA Flashapalooza, so you can sort of count that, but not really.

It looks like I've only spend $45 this month, which really makes me happy, especially, since I absolutely LOVE my new Q5 Zebralight. Love it! Thanks Oddjob!

Mr. V8, how does that limit go? $500 per month, $500 for December, the Christmas month, or $500 per year?

Whoa! Somebody has a problem. . .

But it isn't me. I can quit anytime I want! {trembling}

Surefire X-300: $---
Liberator ST: $---

Damage to retirement fund: priceless

I mean, around $450.

Santa was good to me this month, but fortunately he only drops by a couple times a year.

I gave my sis my Arc AAA original for Christmas (already got her a Surefire C3 for a Christmas past), so I'm either getting the monkey off my back or getting another family member hooked.

This month, zero (and I plan on keeping this figure for a few months).
The month before that, $14 (MTE 5-mode Rebel) + $25 (DX 18650 Cree "Piston") = $39.
The month before that, $50 (NiteCore Defender Infinity), and I consider that an expensive month.

This month is quite possibly the worst month for you to have asked that question...so I refuse to answer :D

To give an indication: it has included a second M6 and a 10X :ohgeez:

Regards,
Tempest
