Sold/Expired TOO LATE - OFFER WITHDRAWN - Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

Up for consideration is an 'opportunity' for a Tri-V owner. I'll get to the 'meat' of the offer right up front, then you can view more details further down in the post.
I've come to the conclusion that my 007 is 100% plus, not 98%, 'cause there isn't a scratch on it and it has the upgrade, so I am going to hold on to it.

I have 98% mint, neutral XPG and new heat sink upgraded, Spy 007, number 0257, that I'd like to trade for your Tri-V. Oh, and I'll throw in $1,000 to make the deal sweeter for you...

Or, if you want to REALLY see me sacrifice the trade could be my 007, brand new MINT Makai head with 1x123 McClicky and $500.

NEW OPTION!! Okay, let's really go nuts with this...another option - 007, Makai package and an almost new, opened a couple of weeks ago, Surefire TI TITAN #939. Still as new with all the accessories and box.

Option 1: 007 and $1000

Option 2: 007, Makai package and $500

Option 3: 007, Titan and $550

Option 4: 007, Makai, Titan and $50

Option 5: Titan and Makai plus $1050

Option 6: Here's a novel idea! Just SELL me your Tri-V!!

OR - can you think of another option that would work better for you? Maybe you'd like to just SELL me your Tri-V? That option is added!

To re-emphasize one important fact - NONE of these 3 lights are for sale - they MUST be part of a Tri-V trade. So now you have a plethora of titanium to illuminate your world...



Will anyone really want to do this? Dunno - but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Is this a GREAT deal for you? No, but it is a good deal. The Spy is absolutely worthy of $1000 in value with the upgrade. The Makai is absolutely worth $500. I think the Titan is worth $500, but I'm valuing it in this trade offer at $450.

I have NO interest in selling my 007. It is a real beauty with (for my tastes) a PERFECT tint and beam, and it screams with 233 lumens into my home made IS (1250mA, fresh AW IMRs, XPG R4). Plus it has that signature "lower than the trits" low. But if you own a Tri-V, you already know all this. Don't have any desire to sell my Makai either. Don outdid himself on this one, and I intend to own a Makai, but if someone wants to do this trade I can always purchase another Makai in the future (and would - it's a great light.) My intent was to use the Titan as a collector's item and "night time" light...keep it in my pocket so that I have that signature LOW lo for moving about the house without spousal disturbances occurring... :candle:

But to acquire a Tri-V, these sacrifices are acceptable to me!

But enough of my babbling - here are some photos:

The 007:


Ain't it purdy?






That's signature low coming out of the neutral XPG


I installed 2 green trits, too



Sorry for these lousy photos, but I'll include this leather case, too.




Here's this little jewel in action:
Here's the setup




Here's one of my favorite lights - the Haiku XPG


Now check out the 007 - pay close attention to the bush and the tree branches above it


(Some have commented that I may have switched 5 and 6 - as you probably know, there is minimal difference in brightness between 1000 and 1250. There is SOME, however, and if you look carefully at the branches over the bush, you can see that level 6 is indeed providing more light to those branches. My aim with the light was also a bit low on level 5)



The Makai is beautiful - the only photos I have show it on a 2x123 McClicky, but please understand, this deal would be on a 1x123 McClicky - not the 2x123!




Not too shabby, a beam shot from the Makai.....can you say, "throwwwwww"










So there you have it. If you own a Tri-V (or 2) but would prefer to have that bullet proof (not that the Tri-V isn't tough!) 007 for carry, here's an opportunity. Or, if you would like to have the 007 for carry and the Makai for long throw, here's your chance. Or maybe you'd like to have a BULLET PROOF little EDC that is somewhat rare these days...I got this one from Brighterisbetter unopened and opened it myself....photos here.

Do I expect an onslaught of offers? :shakehead But do I think that perhaps there is one individual out there who might find this interesting? :thumbsup:

If you wish to discuss, you can PM or better still, email me

Thanks for looking!

Thanks all - added a few beamshots to the OP for reference.

I'm betting there is a lonely Tri-V out there that wants to come live at run4jc's house!!

:thumbsup:

I wish you could get a good result .

Re: WTT - Check it out! Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

Dibs if you decide to sell the 007. Like you said, nothing ventured ........ FWIW it looks like the shots for the 007 on level 5 and 6 are backwards. The pic for level 5 seems to be brighter than 6. Then again it may just be my eyes playing tricks on me. Best of luck with you quest!!

Re: WTT - Check it out! Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

Dan, you already own a Tri-V, correct? So this would be your second Tri-V? Are you trying to keep up with chipwillis or something? :devil: You have a Tri-V and a Spy 007 already (as do I). Stop while you're ahead! This is what you want! Don't change it. lovecpf :kiss:

Re: WTT - Check it out! Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

Best of luck with your potential trade. You have dangled a tempting carrot. (no innuendos intended).

Ah, well, we will see, we will see - have an 005, too! :devil: Truth be told, you can't go wrong with any of them!! They are all great :thumbsup:

Re: WTT - Check it out! Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

Is this the first time that the fabled 007 has been put up for a trade on CPF?
I think the 'normal' situation is for other (lesser) lights to be put up for trade for a 007... :tinfoil:

I agree with AWTYD on this one. lovecpf Your already one lucky dude to catch a Tri-V. IMHO although the Tri-V presents levels of mastery in versatility and cutting edge synthesis of lighting components, I still think the 007 is a pure beauty! You might miss that 007 down the road. :shrug: :thumbsup:

Relax, my good friends! Dan is fine......really! Just stirring up a bit of excitement on the forum, and it is working! But I'd do this trade if the opportunity came up! I love my Tri-V!! Another one would be a good thing! Anybody??

Re: WTT - Check it out! Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

At what setting, and with which emitter(s) did you get the 233 lumen reading in your IS?

Re: WTT - Check it out! Spy 007 with neutral XPG (and $$) for Spy Tri-V

007
I will not rest until I have one!!

Rudi...reprogrammed at 1250mA output into an XPG R4 (neutral) being driven by freshly charged AW IMRs. Output did fall briefly after turn on to about 215 lumens, but locked in there. Awesome thing to see!!
