no other opinions? Really? any other of Mac's fans using theirs still or have you just relegated them to the safe? Hard to believe no takers for either of these babies.....

I think your prices are very fair, if not really good. I sold my Sceptre a few months ago for $400-ish, and it had been carried (but still in near mint condition). The market stinks! And lights that should have moved are sitting.

Good luck!

I think the prices are great .... last year a Sceptre was selling for $500+

Dang, these are STILL here? :thinking: Just out of curiosity, how does the Mini Mini compare with the Sceptre in terms of output? I've had a Sceptre for almost 6 months now, and I love it. I'd grab the Mini Mini in a heartbeat, but I've got other stuff that I need to get (like a new camera :green:). Oh well. If it sticks around long enough I may get it. Good luck with the sale!
EDIT: The Mini Mini uses the 3.7V rechargeables, right?

CaveDude,

yes, both lights use the r123a's. I've not done a side by side test but it seems to me that they're close. I may have to take some of my r123's out of some other lights to do a test. It seems I never have enough rechargeables on hands due to my flashaholicism!

Okay, the Mini Mini has arrived. Suffice to say, I'm officially an HID disciple :cool::rock:. I can also speak for the Sceptre, which is a fantastic light. Whoever snags this one is getting a hell of a good deal. There are not very many Sceptres out there.

20th post, yay! I have achieved enlightenment!
